I started the Kybella process because I was told I would only need 2 treatments. Well, two treatments of 2 vials was definitely not enough. I've seen decent results, but I just finished my 5th treatment (each treatment had 2 vials).
Answer: Kybella for Double Chin Thank you for your question. I am sorry you are not seeing the results you would like with Kybella. It seems as if you have had a reasonable treatment, as 2-3 vials per treatment is typical. If you have not sen the results you wish after 5 treatments, I would consult with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon for other options to help with this fullness under the chin. You may be a good candidate for submental liposuction and/or a neck lift. The studies for Kybella looked at patients who had up to 6 treatments, and that is why this is the 'maximum'. It most likely is safe to have more than this, it is simply that this has not been studied as of yet. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Answer: Kybella and skin tightening In looking at your photos, you probably have some fat behind the muscle under the chin that will not be dissolved by Kybella. To some degree, if you are satisfied with the improvement, you can continue with further Kybella treatment. If you want to eliminate the double chin in a more dramatic fashion, I would recommend submental liposuction and platysmaplasty and possibly a necklift to remove excess skin. I have not seen patients with severe fullness obtain excellent results with Kybella alone. Usually, a combination approach is necessary whether invasive involving surgery or non-invasive treatment.

Answer: Kybella, why only 6 rounds maximum? I had a "moderate to severe" double chin. (photo) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Based on the number of treatments you have already received you can continue with Kybella as an off-label use but I would recommend you consider a small in-office liposuction procedure to obtain the greatest improvement. See an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss.

Answer: Kybella Thank you for your question. Depending on the severity of submental fat, between two and four Kybella treatments may be required for optimal results, Most patients begin to see results after only two treatments. I would be interested to see before and after photos along each phase of treatment. Please discuss your treatment plan with your surgeon.

Answer: Kybella Hello and thank you for your question and photos. I would recommend you have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. There are many options of treating this submental fat which would give you great satisfaction. If liposuction is not an option, we would recommend treating to complete. Usually coolsculpting would be our recommendation and then may be followed with some kybella, depending on your desired results. We typically treat with 3-4 vials per treatment when using kybella and may possibly treat up to 3 treatments. Kybella studies only extended up to six rounds, however, they used 3 and 4 vials per round. I hope this information helps you and best of luck!
