Kybella results/nodules at 5 weeks after 1 treatment?

In my opinion, and I am not alone in this, Kybella is an expensive bummer.  Generally it really does take 6 sessions of Kybella to get a satisfactory result.  At the end of 6 sessions at one month intervals, 40% of patients will be dissatisfied with the results.  In addition, the treatment is very uncomfortable and causes a lot of swelling.  Some experience transient and permanent nerve damage. Neck liposuction is much more reliable and actually less expensive.

i suggest RF treatment at this time with massage and light therapy.  it can sometimes takes up to 3 months to get improvement.  you will need more than one treatment for improvement.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for your question. It is difficult to compare your photos because of the difference in lighting and angle. You certainly do not need neck liposuction. Palpable irregularities/"nodules" are not uncommon even at the 5 week Kybella post treatment point, but they do eventually go away ( in my experience might take another few weeks after the 5 week mark). You might want to consider getting a TruSculpt 3D treatment of that submental region to get significantly more skin tightening along with some residual fat cell destruction. It is safe, simple,and  non invasive.
