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.
