Kybella Vial and Injections?

As a national physician trainer for Kybella since its FDA approval, my experience has been that 2-4 vials are typically used per treatment session.  In the FDA clinical trials, 4-6 vials per session were used, but in clinical practice the cost and amount of swelling with this larger volume treatment are not generally practical.  Typical pricing is approximately $600 per vial, although cost varies depending upon the practice and the location.  All vials contain an equal amount of deoxycholic acid, 2 ml.  While treatments were performed 4 weeks apart in clinical trials, I recommend waiting 6-8 weeks between treatments because some numbness and tingling, and even some swelling, may still be present at 4 weeks.  Also, continued improvement in the contour of the chin may be seen after 4 weeks.

Thank you for your questions. The number of treatments needed will vary from one person to the next and depends on severity of fullness, and how quickly you respond. The average person will have Kybella injections 2-3 times. On Average at our office, patients who would be considered “mild fullness” will come in for a min. of two separate treatments 6 weeks apart. If our patients are considered “moderate fullness” then they will come in for a third treatment which will be a total of 3 treatments. The best determination is to book an appointment with our office for a consultation. 

There is some downtime with Kybella. There is some mild swelling, and the occasional bruises and numbness to the area. Most people can go back to the normal routine with 2-3 days, but will still have some swelling at that point, with full reduction of swelling occurring within 7-10 days depending on the case. 

Thank you for your question. I suggest you consult with a handful of experienced board certified facial plastic surgeons in your area to determine the local market prices and understand timeline/treatment details. The number of vials per patient depends on the treatment area. Best wishes,

Kybella is a new injectable
approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate to severe fat under the chin;
double chin. Up until now the only option for fat removal under the chin was
liposuction or surgically removing the fat by cutting it out.  Expertly-trained providers can suggest a calculated amount that will give optimal results.#Kybellareducesfat   #doublechintreatments   #Kybelladestroysfat

Thank you the great question regarding Kybella. I am one of the first to use Kybella in Bergen County NJ and have several patients who have completed the course. The results have been very good and the patients are very happy. The vial contains a standard amount. Most patients require two vials per session and do well with three sessions, thirty days apart. Some require more some less depending on the amount of fullness. My costs are $600 dollars per vial. We offer complimentary consultation and 100% financing. Hope this answers your question.

Physicians purchase Kybella vials.  Typically 2-3 vials are needed for each treatment and the cost can vary from $1200 - $2000 per treatment depending on who you go to and how much is needed.  I would recommend you visit with a board certified plastic surgeon who performs the Kybella treatment themselves so they can assess you and also discuss alternatives such as surgery.  I do a lot of training for other injectors and there are a lot of nuances for each patient in getting a good vs great result.

Each person is different, so not everyone will require the same number of Kybella vials per treatment session.  I would say in most cases, probably 1-2 vials would be needed per session for most people.  

Each vial has about 2 cc of Kybella which is equivalent to 10 full injection. Per Kybella instruction, each injection should receive about 0.2 cc spaced 1 cm apart. The price is highly variable. We charge by the vial VS a box which contains 4 vials. Price per vial is around $600 with a box being a cheaper deal at $2000

There is one standard vial for Kybella injections and generally it takes 2 or 3 vials per patient and two to four visits for Kybella depending on the size of the submental fat area.  Since this is a permanent injection you need to consult with a board certified dermatologist who has been trained and injected many Kybella patients for the best cosmetic result.  Best, Dr. Green

The average person uses at total of 2-4 vials of Kybella over two sessions. The average person gets 20 injections at each session. This varies depending on how large your face/neck is and how much fat you have.  The average cost is $600 per vial. Most people need 2 sessions and pay around $2400 for the full treatment.
