I had two vials of Kybella put into my chin and jawline 9 weeks ago. I am left with a chin twice the size. I did not put on ANY weight. I have been the same weight for 5 years. I can not find anything on here on anybody with a similar problem and I am absolutely devastated. Can somebody tell me what is going on? I don't feel like it is swollen anymore. What are my options to fix this? My doctor is of no help and absolutely useless. Why did it make my chin BIGGER???
Answer: Even though it has been 9 weeks, this is likely residual swelling. In my opinion, you absolutely did not need to have Kybella in the first place. You do not have objectionable fat under the chin. Less is more. I would not launch into a bunch of unnecessary treatment because you are having persistent swelling after a Kybella treatment. Kybella is an over hyped, bummer of a treatment. It under performs and is very expensive. I advise being pateint and letting this resolve a full 6 months. I think if you are patient, this will resolve and you may even see a subtle improvement in the sub mental contour. Try to see fewer cosmetic surgoens who seek to take advantage of your physicial insecurities.

Answer: Kybella Results--add thermage, ultherapy, exilis, VASER, ThermiRF Swelling can be typical after Kybella, which can fluctuate, and can take several weeks to resolve. Swelling can be improved with venus legacy and lymphatic massage. It also can take a few treatments to start to see results with Kybella. To improve Kybella results, I recommend a combination approach with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is an alternative for contouring the chin, if you're a candidate. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Kybella Dear locobaby223,Kybella typically takes 3 to 5 treatments to work. This is why I've stopped carrying Kybella in my office. I recommend neck liposuction more often then any injectable procedure for the neck now. It provides superior results gives me more control over the area than any injectable. The liposuction can be done under local while awake in the office and recovery is about the same as kybella.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Chin appears larger after kybella This effect is relative. If your chin contour is related to your submental area, any change in one of these will lead to a relative change in the other. In your case a decrease in submental fat will lead to more definition of chin area.

Answer: Kybella Yes this is part of the procedure. The product will gather in the area in which it has been injected in and will remain there for about 2-4 weeks while it is being degraded. By the 4th week it should be completely gone. If you still experience a larger chin area you should be re-examined by your treating physician. Kybella generally needs about 3 treatments to be effective. After the 3rd and final treatment, it will be a total of 12 weeks until you see the final results. SO all in all you are going to be at least 6 months out before final results from the first injection. I encourage you to continue with the treatments and wait. It does work and it does provide the results your are looking for. You must be patient and go through the entire process for total results.
