52 Yr Old Skeptic, Highly Recommends Kybella! Colleyville, TX

WORTH IT$1,200
My first Kybella treatment caused the usual swelling that most people experience. I was swollen for the best part of two weeks and did get a little concerned that I would be left with some longterm swelling or perhaps the swelling would cause sagging in the neck area. I couldn't believe the difference when the swelling finally went down. Dr Jesse Smith of Colleyville did the treatment and had at first thought I'd need 3 treatments. But I got such good results it now looks like I will be good with just 2. The product is amazing! At 52 I had some real concerns that once the fat was gone then I'd be left with some lose skin but that wasn't the case at all. My profile looks much better and even from the front view my jaw light looks more refined. The best thing about Kybella is unlike fillers or botox once the fat is gone it's gone for good!

We'd love to see some pics of your chin/jawline!  Also if you have any tips/tricks to hiding the swelling please consider posting them on this forum post:

I just had my second Kybella done so waiting for the swelling to go down then will post pics. The second time around I have less swelling and zero brusing. I haven't had to do anything to hide it this time. Of course its a perfect treatment to do in winter when you can wear something high on the neck. I did use some Arnica to reduce the bruises and also victim K serium from Revision. Worked a treat!

Hi! I've gone to a doctor in Dallas and had two treatments of Kybella so far. Did you really pay only $1200? If so, I'm switching doctors! Not only do I live in Grapevine and Dr. Smith is only a few miles away, I've also gone to him before for Botox and Juviderm, so I trust him.

He is amazing! Yes only $1,200 per treatment. Kybella has just been bought by Allergan. That means brilliant distinction points soon too! What did you pay, may I ask?
September 23, 2015
I paid $1500 each time. When I had my first treatment back in July, I went to the only doctor in the DFW area that was doing it. I was desperate to get started with Kybella. Now, it looks like in only a couple of months, several more doctors have been trained and I have options. :) Gosh, I could have saved $600 by now! I'm calling Dr. Smith to schedule my third treatment!

I love him, he's so good!

Hi. What's distinction points?
September 30, 2015

It is Allergan's rewards program.  You can sign up for free and then every time you get an Allergan brand treatment (Botox, Juvederm, Latisse, etc) through a preferred provider you accrue points.  They will also send you coupons and promotions via email. I didn't see Kybella on the list but how great if it gets added soon!

Thank you. Is this scheme for USA only or any country?
September 30, 2015

I believe it is US and Canada but I'm not totally sure.

Not sure. Try googling Brilliant distinctions. Now Allergen has acquired Kybella there should be a lot more $ to earn back.

Would you mind clarifying the cost of your procedure? Was it $1, 200 per treatment or was that the total cost? Thanks so much. You look great and I'd like to have it done too. Unfortunately I'm a teacher so cost is somewhat of a factor.

$1,200 per treatment. It is pricey but its permanent not like fillers.
