About 5 years ago I had liposuction done on my sub mental fat with fantastic results! However, once I became pregnant and had my child I noticed quite a bit of it came back. I would say the type I have is hereditary. I take after my father and he also has the same type of neck fat that I do... No jawline, looks like your chin connects to your chest :(

I remember hearing the first commercials for this product and was so excited to try! I finally decided to bite the bullet after a couple consultations. You can find doctors certified/trained in Kybella on their website. I liked that once the fat was gone, it was gone for good.

I was numbed up topically. Warned that it could get really hot feeling but then subside immediately. However I didn't experience that. I didn't feel much pain at all, though it could be because lipo dreaded some nerves. I was told I'll be swollen for 2 weeks but I expect to look sorta ugly for about a month after reading all the reviews on here. I believe she used all 4 of the vials I purchased.

hi, how do you think it went. Im considering getting it. Also if you don't mind me asking how much was the lipo to remove it in the neck.Maybe thats a better option if I'm gonna spend $1200 a treatment.

My Lipo was $3000, I decided to try the Kybella route due to no down time, no wearing an annoying head strap piece, no pain meds, and that this destroys the fat so it can't come back, Lipo just sucks it out. Hopefully it lives up to its claims!

Hi, thanks for your review. I am curious as to why you said "not worth it" after only a few days. Also, now that it has been a couple months, what do you think?
September 9, 2016
Oops sorry I just realized you had further updates.
September 9, 2016
I actually didn't change it to not worth it until over a month after my treatment. For $1,200 I expected a bigger change.

Day 2

Since yesterday I had the procedure done at about 9:30am, I spent over a good 13 hours upright.. I planned on sleeping upright as well but it was too uncomfortable. I figured being upright as much as possible might help with swelling... Today a slight bruise has formed on my bullfrog-like pouf...I also look like I've gained a bunch of weight. this is to be expected. Looking forward to final results. I never told my husband I was getting this done...I also got Juvederm in my lips as well as my nasal labial folds...so far, he hasn't noticed or said anything.

Also bullfrog pouch jiggles...so weird

Did he ever notice? I have the same issue...
September 9, 2016
Nope. Never. :/ he didn't notice I got juvederm in my lips either lol
September 9, 2016
Cool, that is encouraging! I wonder if my husband is oblivious or not saying anything because he knows I'm sensitive about the chin:)

LOL, I think we all have the same issue. I have been getting botox and a tiny bit of filler in my upper lip on a regular interval since I was 24. Now I'm 38, hubby of 5 years has never noticed when I get it. Then again I haven't seen what my face would look like since age 24 without. As long as we don't overdo it, this is a good thing. =)

in bullfrog state now as well, 5 days post my second session of 2 vials each. I think your doc should have split it up into 2 sessions as at the second sessions my doc was able to insert some of it into other areas to even it up, he even went down on my neck lower, which I needed. After first treatment I noticed good results under my chin but my upper neck still had quite a bit of fatty tissue. You might want to try and get a free single vial treatment there because they are not suppose to use more than 3 vials per session... Doesn't hurt to try. They all want good ratings and to do so, generally try best to keep their clients happy.

A lot less numb/tight feeling, slight bruising is basically gone.
