My doctor advise that I need three vials but just one treatment. After reading about most people's experiences, it seems Iike most people undergo minimum of 2 treatments with less dosage. Is it possible to have desire result from just one treatment? Also, will having 3 vials injected in just one treatment make me swell more and longer?
Answer: One treatment of Kybella is simply not enough, especially if you are needing 3 vials Having used Kybella for over 9 years, starting with the initial clinical trials in 2008, I can tell you that this is not going to be sufficient. Also, three vials is particularly brutal and will likely cause you significant down time and swelling.In my practice I usually aim for no more than 2 vials if possible (and preferably one vial). If you need 3 vials, you are likely a better candidate for CoolMINI or SmartLipo as the cost for 3 vials is huge and the likelihood is that you will need more like 5 or 6 treatments, which will further extend and increase the costs over time.Kybella is great but not all people are great candidates for it. The good news is that we have many other great treatments and you should probably seek a second opinion as it appears that you are being treated outside of 'best practices' and may not be going somewhere that has access to all the options available. Best wishes!

Answer: Kybella Dosage and # of Treatments Thanks for your question. The number of vials ultimately depends on the surface area in which the fat occupies your chin. Thus, larger people with a more diffusely spread out area of fat will need more vials. Typically, a grid with markers spaced out in 1 x 1 cm markings is placed on the skin and number of marks within the area to be injected is counted. The issue with the number of treatments required is difficult and depends on many things including the amount of fat present as well as certain qualities of the fat. Bottom line, some folks tends to have more resistant fat and thus require more treatments to achieve the effect. Certainly, the more fat present, meaning the more vials injected, equates to more swelling lasting longer.

Answer: Kybella dossage It is difficult to determine the amount of vials that are necessary in your case without an exam, however, I usually inject a minimum of 2 vials and recommend 2 treatments. I have injected a few patients with minimal submental fullness with only one vial. It really depends how much fullness and your expectations. You can begin with one treatment and see if you are happy with the results. Good luck

Answer: A maximum result from Kybella usually requires 2 treatments Ytchen,I recommend 2 vials and 2 treatments rather than 3 vials and 1 treatment. And yes, 3 vials increases swelling and soreness, so there's more downtime and not necessarily a better or faster result.Good luck!

Answer: Kybella dosage and treatment? Thanks for your question.I have seen some nice results after one treatment, but the results are improved after the second treatment 6 to 8 weeks later. Two to three vials is appropriate. I doubt you'll be completely satisfied after just one treatment, but since your physician has examined you there's no way to know for sure. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Kybella and Dosing During Treatment the amount of kybella needed depends on the number of dots in the grid and how large your neck is. There is no minimum. Best, Dr. Emer.
