Is one vial of Kybella enough?

YM
yellow mellowJul 19, 2016

I just did my first Kybella injection. The doctor told me that I only need one vial, but everything I read online says 2++. I trust my doctors opinion, but I am wondering if I will get the results I want? It would help me if people showed me what one vial looked like. She said if she thought I would have needed it we would have done it at the same time.
