Hello all! After reading up as much information I...
$600
Hello all! After reading up as much information I could I decided to take the plunge and try Kybella. Recently and sort of out of the blue I started to notice a patch of fat right under my chin (especially in pictures from the profile).
The procedure itself was more uncomfortable then painful, as I opted to go the local anasthetic rout those first few pricks were the worst part. Directly after ice some swelling and numbness.
I am now 6 days in and am still a bit swollen. I didn't puff up as much as I expected however I certainly learned a few things. Arnica tablets and lotion I believe helped a lot. As well my swelling fluctuated more then slowly deflated and I found sleeping more upright made a good amount of difference.
Because I know how scary it is to try something like this (and potentially costly depending on the amount of treatments) I will do my best to keep you all up to date with pictures and my experience.

Thanks for starting a review and for posting pics. Definitely keep us posted on the rest of your treatments. Do you think you will need 2 or 3 treatments?

Because there was not to much fat to begin with my doctor and I agreed that we would decide if I should receive more treatments once the swelling has subsided. He projected one or two treatments at most. :)

Is it $600 per each treatment (estimated it will take multiple)? Or $600 total?
Also, did the doctor tell you if the results would be permanent, or like with Botox and injectibles, you would have to re-do it every year or so?
Thank you!

$600 per treatment and the amount of treatments is dependent on the individual. If I have more I'll change the listed cost :) The results are permanent however I'm speculating you might see some changes if there was any drastic change in weight.

Can't wait for you to update us. My chin is very similar to yours so I can't wait to see your results.

I can't wait to hear how you like the results, I'm thinking about doing this too.

Hello all! It's day 12 and I would say the swelling is coming down steadily. It feels very much like a patch of gel. The numbness is very minimal and I'm just excited to see some results. From what I have been reading the majority of swelling is almost over by week 2

Day 15
Just over two weeks out and I'm now looking about how I did before the procedure. The "gel like" feel is going away and being replaced by a more hard knotted feel that I have read is the fat solidifying. I'm still a bit numb and looking up it feels sort of stiff. Fingers crossed to see some improvement in the next couple weeks.

I'm curious about the "knotted" feeling. Has any kind of gently massage of the area been suggested or will the body simply "clean out" this solidified fat? Your results look tremendous already!
December 8, 2015
I was told to just let it be and let my body do the work ;) Because it's just something that I feel and not so much something that I can see it's an easy instruction to follow!
December 8, 2015
Girl... There's already improvement, and you're just getting started. Get excited. :)
December 22, 2015
any more updates? I had my first treatment three weeks ago and I still have that hard lump under chin! Hoping it goes away soon!
December 25, 2015
The knots are slowly fading but it seems to be a sort of slow process. It gets better just hang in there
December 25, 2015
Ok! Thanks. There is really only one hard knot and my doctor is wanting to do second treatment at 4 - 6 weeks. Not sure I can handle it - but a lot of feedback looks like 2nd treatment may help knot - not sure what to believe - this has been slow recovery!

I did my 1st injection on Monday..the bump still there and also little bruised..i dont know if i want to do the 2nd one..due to work and slow recovery
December 26, 2015
I agree!!! Slow process but let's keep updated. My lump feels smaller on one day and bigger next wish I could massage it!
December 22, 2015
Oh Thank you for the reply, that's good to know it's felt more than seen. I'm thinking of doing kybella in Feb. and have been reading people's experiences and looking at photos. Would love a current update and photo from you too! :) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
