40 something & hated the turkey neck...

I'm sharing because the reviews seemed mixed, but I am more than satisfied w/my results & wanted to share my experience w/others who may be on the fence. I'm about 20lbs over weight right now, but ever since I gave birth 11 years ago, I have had a horrible double chin that persists (no matter what I weigh). It was depressing!!! I'm too chicken to "go under the knife", so when I learned about Kybella I got really excited. After I started researching it though, I got anxious because A. it's not exactly cheap & B. the odds of it working didn't seem so great based on reviews. The only trend I seemed to notice, was that the younger the person was, the less effective it seemed to be (just my observation) & since I'm 45'ish, I decided to go for it. I had 2 syringes done on December 29th. I was numbed first (which was the worst part), but overall, it wasn't too bad. I had the bull frog neck for a couple of weeks & swelling didn't really noticeably subside until around week 4, but the difference was very apparent by then. I'm posting a side by side before & after picture (7 weeks out). Technically tomorrow is 7 weeks, but who's splitting hairs? Anyhow, I am beyond thrilled w/the results & am SO very happy I did it!!!! I have decided to get one more injection to target the jowl area next month & hopefully complete the restoration of my jaw line! Best $$ I ever spent on a cosmetic procedure!! :)

Thank you for this review. It has helped to ease my anxiety about having this done tremendously.
I'm also around your age and had two vials of kybella injected 1 week ago. I have a hereditary double chin that has been with me as long as I can remember. I'm not over weight at 144lbs but the double chin always made me feel like I looked like I was..
Anyhow, I have a wobbly bullfrog chin at the moment and am terrified I will have this neck stay like this.. I'm worried my skin won't retract if the fat ends up melting away like it's supposed to. Swap bullfrog chin for turkey wobble skin chin eww...Did your skin tighten up as well?

You're welcome & hang in there, the bull frog appearance was frightening & thankfully just temporary (albeit longer than I would have cared for)! I didn't notice much difference until around week 4 or 5 & by 7 I was thrilled. I do have a little bit of loose skin, but I am also about 15-20 lbs over weight right now. I'm hoping if I can drop that excess, it will tighten up more, but even if it doesn't, I will still happily take this over the huge fat deposit that was there before...lol I also booked another session w/1 syringe for next month to try & tackle the jowls that remained (even though much less obvious now). This is honestly the best money I've ever spent on a cosmetic procedure!

So many reviews are a week out and not subjective at all, great to hear this review!

I know, there were so many mixed reviews & I was nervous about spending that much money & then not getting any results or just minimal ones at best. I've never written a review before, but this is truly the best money I've ever spent on a cosmetic procedure. I actually took pictures every week & if I can figure out how to post them all in order I will.

Fabulous results.
So the first picture is after your Kybella shots? Or before any Kybella shots?
The second photo is 7 weeks later?

First pic is before shots & 2nd is about 7 weeks after. I'm going to do one more syringe to try & get rid of the jowls.

Do you have anymore current pics to post? Would love to see more results..
July 5, 2017
Yes! And did you end up getting a second treatment?
July 5, 2017
I did. I definitely have results. Will be going back for a third and final in the fall.

Your results are amazing. I just did mine last week and I didn't swell too much I am hoping to get results like you. It would be so worth it.
