After tons of research and lots of nights laying awake wondering if I should go through with this or not I finally had my first Kybella treatment yesterday with Dr Babbitt and Christina DeVincent. All I can say is what a waste of time laying awake nervous and scared! It is NOT as bad as what I was expecting at all!
My appointment was at 4:00 and i was in my car driving home by 5:00!
First I was taken in a room for pictures and to be marked and 'tattooed'. I applied an ice pack under my chin for a few minutes and then Christina came in with Dr Babbitt and she started the injections. She would gently squeeze/pinch under my chin while she was injecting the Kybella and it was not bad at all! A tiny pinch here and there in sensitive areas but totally tolerable.(and i HATE needles) I had 22 injections and it was over fairly quickly. By the time we were almost finished I felt a little sore on the side where she has started but it only felt like a bruise from being pinched which was weird because she wasn't pinching hard. We finished and I felt a little numb or like my jaw was full or heavy. It was a strange feeling but not painful. We applied some more ice for a couple minutes and went home.
We drove home for about 20 minutes, and then I started to swell after a couple of hours and noticed a little bruising but still not much pain besides a bruised feeling but only if I touched it.
I felt fine! I fed my kids(they're always hungry), did homework with them(ugh) and got them to bed(yay!)
and had no problems at all!! I didn't need to take anything for pain or swelling and went to bed and slept just fine all night!
I woke up in the morning with a little more swelling looking like a pelican but not painful at all. A little bruising on one side but nothing too crazy!
I have a few pictures but they didn't come out that great I'll still try to post them.
Anyway so far my Kybella treatment has been great! I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Dr Babbitt and Christina DeVincent if you're looking into having this or any treatment done!!!!
I'm excited for my next treatment and the end result!!!
