Day by Day with Kybella

I have been told by litterly everyone that it takes more than one treatment. Have you had any negative side effects or regrets from your first round?

No, it’s still a little sore though. I wish my clinician had told me that! She did say it usually would take more than one ho around but felt I wouldn’t need it and I asked her ‘ok, so it might take more than one round, but after just one there would be SOME improvement? ‘ I mean, that seemed to stand to reason and said ‘yes’. Maybe it’s just not done changing yet. I’ve seen some online posts where people have had one and that’s all so fingers crossed!!

And the results with that are guaranteed

Hi Dana, I went for this treatment too same area as most women ( double chin, fatty chin - whatever you want to call it) and was told I should see results etc after 4 weeks, but I was told it may take more than 1 - normally 4 -6. Ok so after the 1 treatment and going through the whole jelly wobble bull frog neck at the end - No change. So I go back and am reassured it takes time etc - so after 4 treatments and only a small amount of change where - yes- I now have that crepe skin look in a small area under my chin/neck area. In my honest opinion if I were to be asked - What a Waste of Money - and after all this - poor results - I am then told that if the Fat is deep deep down - Kybella will not work. So I guess my fat must be deeps down in my under chin area. I do hope you receive a better result but from what I have learned it can take up to 8 treatments and the results will be minimal and that being the case I guess I should have tried Lipo or Fat Freeze or the new Fat Melting treatments - so far the only treatment that appears to give a real result is Lipo . Good Luck and I hope your daughters wedding day is Amazing.

Dana, I read about your experience & I want to share with you MY experience. In Feb. I had one vial split between my jowls (I know that sounds so gross!!), my face was so HIDEOUS for almost 2 weeks I didn’t even want to look in the mirror! I swear to you between 3 & 4 weeks, the area finally receded (?), and my face looked slimmer, I was beyond thrilled that there was SOME difference. I did a 2nd treatment, one more vial for the jowls and 2 for the submental area, it looked fantastic, unfortunately I didn’t take photos or I would show you. So this is what I do believe to be true, I think there HAS to be some improvement, even from one vial because it’s destroying those fat cells. The NP who administered my injections told me that the submental area usually does need more Kybella compared to the jowls, for example. I do kind of think it’s rare for only 1 treatment to produce optimal results (& from my research most people get at least 2 vials for the submental area). However, I don’t want to discourage you. I CAN see an improvement already in your photos & seems like you’re a “sweller” like I am, so I think it takes longer for us to see results. I am 45 y/o & was also told about possible skin laxity but hun I’m telling you, my skin retracted, a lot more than I thought it would!! Sorry this is getting so long but at least for ME, this Kybella has changed my LIFE, I feel so much more confident it’s incredible (& no I do not work for them!! :). I’m so happy w/ it, I still come back & read reviews to see other people’s experiences. I’m not saying that I’m an expert but if you have any questions I can try to answer them. Oh, one more thing, my first treatment, about 2 1/2 weeks in, it was like some fat had dissolved but my skin hadn’t retracted back yet & my jowls were hanging all of a sudden & I was PANICKING! I thought, I need to rob a bank & get a face lift ASAP! But within like 48 hrs. the skin tightened up & it was amazing. I understand it’s expensive but it’s been so worth it to me. Please post again after a month so we can see :)

I do see improvements! Thank you for the update! I still feel like garbage and am hoping I can recover.

You very well may see more improvement over the next 2-3 weeks. When I did mine, it took 2 weeks for the initial swelling to go back down to my baseline. Then, it wasn't until about the 6th week that I finally saw noticeable results. I wrote a review with photos and follow-ups a couple years ago. I did 2 vials, 2 times, and all in all it was about 6 months total time to reach my final results. Hang in there! Here's hoping you feel better about it after a bit more time.

I agree
