I had my first Kybella treatment 8 weeks ago - 2 doses. How long between treatments can one go with successful end results?

Dear elw123,Thank you for your question.  Although you have had a longer than normal gap between your first and second treatments, this will not be of clinical consequence.  Most patients require 2-3 treatments to reach their desired goals.  If you feel comfortable with your provider and the surrounding circumstances of your delay in treatment seem reasonable (as they seem to) then I do not see a reason to find another provider.  I hope this helps you find the right answer for you.Be healthy and be well,

There is absolutely no downside to taking time between Kybella sessions. It will not adversely affect your results. So, if you like your surgeon, stick with him or her and wait the 11 weeks. Each treatment will deliver more improvement and yes, it's costly, but keep in mind that the results are permanent. Kindly,Kouros Azar

Having the sessions too close together (under 4-6 weeks apart) is a concern because you want to heal and actually give the skin time to respond to the treatment before moving forward. There is no limit on the amount of time put in between sessions, you can wait 6 months or even a year if you have to. The lack of results is concerning, I would possibly ask the physician or get a second opinion by an expert to see if there is not perhaps a skin tightening issue which is not going to respond to Kybella. For skin tightening I recommend Thermitight and the Ulthera, and another fat reduction treatment is the Coolmini which can work well in combination. Best, Dr. Papantoniou.
