Kybella to Remove Fat on Chin 56 Year Old Male - Beverly Hills, CA

WORTH IT$1,700
As with every procedure, I try to read as many reviews as possible to try to make an informed decision before even approaching any provider. Many reviews state how awful the experience was. The swelling made them look like Bullfrogs for a few days, pain in swallowing, getting out of chairs and moving around, in general, unable to sleep.
As luck would have it, the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center Med Spa had a presentation from the Kybella rep and a special going on when I had an appointment last week. I'm not sure how they determine the amount of Kybella you need, but I purchased two vials for $650.00 instead of $900.00 for a total of $1,300.00. It turns out that after they but on some stencil it determines the exact amount of injections/vials you need. It turned out I needed one more for a total of three, but they gave it to me for $400.00. As to the procedure, first, they wanted to put some numbing cream on me for 15 to 20 Minutes and then inject Lidocaine for completely numbing the area. I thought that was complete overkill and declined the numbing cream and told Sydney just to inject me with the Lidocaine, which was a total no-brainer for me. I had Lidocaine Injections for Epidurals many times, and it was never painful or even remotely as uncomfortable as getting you Blood drawn by some Tech that needs to stick you ten times. No kidding, ten times to find a vein and the getting a hematoma for three weeks since they punctured the vein - go LabCorp, you hire the very best phlebotomists, of course, it's a $12 to $15 job a hour so you really can't expect anything more.
I digress, after the Lidocaine injections I was given 36 injections with a tiny Insulin syringe, didn't feel a thing. I took pictures that I posted a couple of hours after the procedure and 4 hours. As I'm finishing up writing all this and doing some other stuff around the house 2 more hours have passed and I see no changes from the last picture I posted. Tomorrow I'll post more.

Day 2 Kybella
So here are the pics from this morning. From the front not too noticeable but from the side quite swollen. Nothing that I wasn't warned about before, so no big surprise there. I don't want to minimize anyone's experience with pain, but I stated yesterday the procedure itself is completely painless. I have a very high tolerance for pain, so I have been told. I'm not sure that is true since every Dentist appointment is a white knuckle session for me even though they only do a cleaning.
Later last night after the Lidocaine completely wore off; I started to feel quite uncomfortable and took a couple of Motrin's which did the trick. I'm not saying I didn't feel anything, but it was certainly tolerable, like a light headache. The area feels numb and swollen, but I have no problem going out in public. I will update if something? changes.

Hi as a 47 year old male thinking about having this done, I would love to hear from you in a few weeks, to see the progress - thanks for posting

I'll upload some picture in the next few days until I'm back to normal and then the final result should be in about 4 to 6 weeks or so I'm told. Good luck.

Day 3 Kybella
The area is quite numb and still a bit swollen, no pain whatsoever. Notice on the 4th picture some discoloration on my lower neck. As of yet, nobody has even noticed that anything was done.
