I’ve received a total of 3 vials of kybella. I’m potentially looking to do 2/4 more but I’m not sure if it will help. I received the first vial in November 2020, then another 2 in April of 2021. Does spacing them out further potentially reduce effectiveness? I feel like my side profile has improved in someways (it’s less of a slope) but in other ways I feel like it looks worse, so I’m not sure if 2-4 more vials is worth it.

Answer: Kybella Hi, and thanks for your question. What areas are you concerned with? I would recommend more rounds of Kybella to remove fat if you are unhappy with your appearance. My patients have a very high satisfactory rating when using Kybella in the face, but they tend to need multiple rounds for best results. Synthetic deoxycholic acid is the ingredient used in Kybella, which is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of fat. When injected into fat, Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness on the face. Please see a board-certified physician for your consultation. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Kybella Hi there, It is looking darn good. You may need another vial and in 6 weeks another. Yes they should be injected 6 weeks apart! Best of luck!
