I went to the doctor to get Kybella yesterday, while I was in the chair they recommended a “generic” Kybella. Saying it was so much cheaper and it had the same outcome. They were a little pushy and I ended up going for it. Now that I’m thinking about it I’m a little worried. Should I have done the regular Kybella? I’m really sore and swollen the day after. Can’t move my neck and I’m worried because I can’t find any research about a generic Kybella online.

Answer: "generic" kybella Kybella is the only FDA cleared medication for submental fat. My guess is they don't want to pay for the real Kybella themselves? I am not aware of any other FDA cleared product. Kybella was 10 years in coming to market and is backed by significant research, clinical trials and a reputable company (Allergan) distributing it. I would revisit whomever you saw and ask for straight answers. Find a reputable plastic surgeon or dermatologist to treat you. Good luck!

Answer: Generic Kybella? Dear emcatee, To the best of my knowledge, no FDA approved version of Kybella exists. In my clinic, we only buy inject-ables from the manufacturer to avoid any question of counterfeit products or products that are not currently legal in the U.S. You may wish to return to your injector and find out specifically what you were injected with.
