Kybella. How many vials do I need? (Photo)

Kybella uses injections of deoxycholic acid to melt submental fat. Each injection point should be treated with at least 2 mg for the therapy to be effective. I have also noticed a slight skin contraction effect with Kybella that may help you achieve your more defined jawline. I would recommend starting with a minimum of two vials. You don’t seem to have a lot of submental fat — in fact I’d need to check to see if you have fat at all or just excess skin. You may get the change you need with just one treatment. Most patients, however, need at least two or three treatments of two to four vials, spaced about 2 to 3 months apart. It takes about 12-18 weeks for your body to clear the debris of the destructed cells and for your final results to become apparent. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will allow you to be evaluated for Kybella or another effective method to remove your submental fat, such as CoolMini or micro liposculpture.

Hi There,

I think it depends on your clinical response to the first treatment and re evaluation in 4-6 weeks.  You will get differing opinions on this forum 1-3 vials etc.  The best is see a provider where you live and have an in office consultation.

Kybella is meant to dissolve fat under the chin. Once your doctor has examined you, she/he will determine if the treatment is appropriate based on your anatomy.  Additionally they will determine how many mL of the medicine  and how many sessions are needed to treat the fat.
