$3,150
I got my first injection of Kybella today. I bought a Groupon because it was a really good price - $1000 for two vials. The dr put numbing cream on, waited 20 minutes then began the injections. The first injection did not hurt at all and I was thinking "yes, you got this...it's not going to hurt" lol boy was I wrong! The next few injections were somewhat painful as I felt a minor burning...then all of a sudden that side started hurting pretty bad. I held ice to it as the dr injected the other side. What was crazy is how quick it swells up! It nearly doubled in size. I had one injection site immediately bruise but I mostly had swelling and some redness. I went back to work and my friend noticed the swelling but said it didn't look too bad. It feels very sensitive to the touch - if I brush my neck the pain is almost like being shocked. I have a high tolerance for pain but I'm glad I only had one vial injected...mainly because I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and didn't know what to expect in regards to swelling or how high up the swelling may go. So far so good. I'm excited to see if it works - I have always had a double chin even when I was 118 pounds. I'm 5'5".

Day 2
Extremely swollen, slight bruise but the bullfrog neck is in effect. Super embarrassing. I had to go to the dentist today and get my hair done so I felt super conscious. No dates for tonight that's for sure.

Getting first tx today. Is the swelling so severe that everyone else can tell?

I had my first treatment on the 20th and the next day my neck was double in size, today it is the 23rd and it is still swollen but only about 1/4 worse then it was before the treatment.

For me, yes it is really severe, but my hairdresser and dentist didn't seem to notice until I pointed it out to them, but then again they don't see me everyday. It's very bullfrog-ish and droopy and thick...so droopy if I shake my head right and left it jiggles.

I have been quoted $1300 per vial and I was told I needed at minimum 2 treatments. Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it. Hope it works well for you!
