How long to see Kybella results?

Hi Anna B.,Thank you for your question.  Please note that before and after pictures would really help us understand what is going on.  I usually recommend patients give it a full 12 weeks to see the final result, but should be noticeable by 6 weeks.  Most patients require at least 2 treatments, but can take as many as 4 treatments.  I would recommend you review your photos with the doctor and see if additional treatments would be necessary.  The fact that you swelled, means that the product did have an effect.  It would be unusual to have no response, since the method of injecting and volume used is standardized.Hope that helps.Best,Dr. B

Typically, patients come in for Kybella treatments in intervals of every 6 weeks until their desired look is achieved. Now that it has been 6 weeks for you and you still are not satisfied with your results, you may consider going back to your provider to discuss the results. Typically, patients require 2-4 sessions to achieve desired results.

Kybella results occur slowly. Most patients are going to see very little change after one treatment, but will start to see the improvements after completing a series of 2-3 treatments. Even once the swelling has fully resolved, the results do not really become visible until several weeks or months later.Be sure to see an expert physician injector who specializes in facial aesthetic procedures.All the best,

Most patients require 2-3 Kybella treatments to achieve results.  Don't get discouraged after just one treatment.  It also depends on how much your physician injected.  As a Kybella trainer, I typically instruct physicians to inject 2-4cc (1-2 vials) or more per treatment.

Thank you for your question! Kybella continues to work up to 6 months post-treatment with results from the removal of submental fat being permanent. If the patient is receiving a series of treatments, they are retreated within 4 to 6 weeks. We do not stack subsequent treatments closer than 4 weeks, no matter how much fat there is, in order to allow the tissue time to recover. If you are undecided about additional treatments, I recommend following up with your physician and waiting 3 to 5 months for the final results to take effect. The beauty of this treatment is that it is progressive and you can always add a treatment after the full results reveal themselves. Make sure to communicate with your provider at the 3 to 5 month mark for an update to determine if additional treatments are needed.

For a well executed Kybella injection treament, results should begin to be seen in about 5-6 weeks with continuation of the results lasting up to 12 weeks.
