Bad product, bad results and very misleading advertising.
Kybella will NOT tighten your skin. To the contrary, any period of prolonged swelling and induration--- with loss of elasticity--- will do the opposite. Kybella will stretch your skin. The thin skin under your chin will be less tight after kybella.
I still am swollen after three months. I may be looking into a neck lift when this the process is over. I've spoken with an ENT and facial plastic surgeon after my Kybella experience.
The manufacturers of this product are unscrupulous. Think twice before wasting your money on kybella.

I returned to the dermatologist and had images taken since it was 7 weeks post. The swelling is obvious and the dermatologist suggested medication for nerve pain. I wanted a refund, which she initially refused. I never had a large lump under my chin until the day I tried kybella. Now I do.
I will be seeing an ENT to discuss further treatment since it has been 8 weeks of major swelling. It seems like she crossed the submental gland with the deoxycholic acid. She is refusing responsibility and saying that everyone has different results.

Well, I just went and had a lymphatic massage to hopefully help with my body's ability to move the fat/kybella out of my system. I do feel like I look slightly less swollen. I had my 3rd round of kybella 7 weeks ago. I feel like the skin under my chin looks droopy, and it was not droopy before! I have read a few reviews where people say it takes 3 months to see results. Good grief, was I misled. Good luck to you. I wish you the best. Please share any information you come across? I am miserable...should have had chin lipo!

Thanks. It is good to see some real updates from real reviewers--rather than "Kybella is awesome. My injector Kristi is amazing!!" Lymph massage makes sense.

Thank you for your update. I have been curious about Kybella treatments and upon researching this issue I have found no positive results (except from advertisement testimony) where there is prominent improvement. If anything it appears patients look either the same or bigger. Considering the cost I think for me when the time is right, I will go the liposuction route.

Now I Have a Double Chin--6 Weeks After One Treatment

I looked at my previous profile pictures and it was really the angle of my voice box. A plastic surgeon told me this, but I let my dermatologist talk me into this procedure since she claimed the swelling wouldn't last more than 24 hours and it would produce a sculpted look.
I've started to get concerned that she may have injected a lymph node. What should I do?

It probably wouldn't hurt to make an appointment with the derm to see what's going on. I'm in the same boat as you. Exactly six weeks in from my first injection and still have the hardness right under my chin making it look bigger than it was before kybella.
