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!!!

I'm in the Boston area and have been looking for a good place! How many vials did they use for what you paid ($1,200)? I'm just wondering in case I have to go for more than just one treatment :(

I used 2 vials... And I HIGHLY recommend Dr Babbitt!! 1000%! I would never go anywhere else!!! I tell everyone about him and his office. Super friendly and helpful! You will feel so comfortable asking or talking about anything!

Thanks for the reply! How long has it been now and how are you doing? Is the swelling gone? I'm scared of the bullfrog effect everyone says they get afterwards. Do you know how long Dr. Babbitt has been working with Kybella?

Day 2 after Kybella treatment

Jenn08
Today is the second day after my Kybella treatment and I still don't have any complaints at all!
I'm a little less swollen today and I don't have any pain at all. I do have the numb feeling under my chin area but i don't realize it unless i touch it. The bruise is still there and really hasn't changed much.
I dropped kids off at school and ran into people I know and didn't get any questions or weird looks so that's a plus! I didn't really stand around too long either just in case.
Still no regrets!

Swelling and bruise is much better. Still no problems. It feels like it's getting more firm now like it's not so jiggly.
