I got my first injection of kybella a little over a month ago. I'm in fairly good shape, but inherited a small double chin. My doctor said I would only need 1 treatment. Although the swelling has gone down, my chin looks bigger than when I got the injections. Is this normal? I thought I would see good results after a months time? I feel worried that it's not working for me or maybe I'll need a 2 treatment when I was initially told I would only need 1 because I have so little fat to begin with.

Answer: Improving Kybella Results--add thermage, ultherapy, exilis, VASER, ThermiRF Kybella requires a series of treatments to get improvement. For best results with Kybella, 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. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Kybella and "Just One Treatment" Very few patients need only one treatment of Kybella. Also, depending on the practice and provider you can get anywhere from 1 vial to 10 vials injected in one visit. Most practices are injecting 2 vials at a time, which is only 4 ml of fluid. Swelling should last for 1 week, at the most 2 weeks but should gradually be resolving over that period of time after the 3rd or 4th day. If still persistent, you should visit your provider again to get checked out. Again, some may see very minimal change after one treatment, but typically several treatments are required to see noticeable difference. Best of luck, Dr. Giordano
