Is Kybella as effective if you're overweight? (photos)

optimisticallyme
I'm in the process of losing 70 lbs of excess weight (have already lost 30) and thought about getting kybella injections to reduce my double chin and boost my confidence. Would I be wasting my money doing it now since I'm still overweight? Are results better after losing weight as opposed to before? It seems like most reviewers are thinner with hereditary excess chin fat and I'm wondering what the results are like for someone who is overweight. Thanks!
