Kybella for Small Double Chin

Seven Weeks Post-Op

$800
This will be my final post for the kybella procedure, unless something drastically changes afterwards. The dermatologist said it could take up to 8 weeks to see results and I am only at 7 weeks, but nothing has changed since around week 3 post op. My conclusion is this was a huge waste of money, I had faith in my dermatologist and the fact that I had very minimal fat to remove, it's pretty disheartening kybella couldn't even meet my minimal expectations. My small double chin has not changed at all and I know they're going to recommend a second series of kybella which I will not pay for, I would have liked to see something come from the first treatment before deciding to invest a second round at another $800. Because the results of kybella are so varied (obviously only a 50% success rate on RealSelf is pretty alarming), I went to a very high end dermatologist and had very little to treat and still saw no results, highly recommend going for lipo or a treatment other than kybella. I am considering dropping ~$5000 for air sculpting on my chin from Elite Body Sculpture, which is steep but almost guaranteed results and a one-and-one compared to the coin toss of kybella injections.

I see a difference in your before and after, although it is slight. My dr said multiple rounds are required for optimal results (my chin isn't much worse than yours and they said it would take two sessions to see results and any change after the first session would be minimal). I'd give it one more session if I were you before I dropped 5k on airsculpting since there is very little fat in your chin anyway.

I absolutely see a difference. Night and day. But ultimately it's you that has to.

Five weeks post-injection

AnnaBurns
About 5 weeks post-injection and still not happy with results, I can't even tell the difference from my before and my five week photos. The dermatologist said it could take up to 8 weeks to see results, I was assuming because I had so little to dissolve in the first place I wouldn't have a problem seeing some difference. Will post another in a few weeks but so far feel like I wasted $800 and wish I had just done lipo or something that had a higher chance of sculpting my jaw and chin.

Swelling down at 3 weeks

AnnaBurns
Just after 3 weeks post injection and still slightly swollen and not seeing results. The injection spot is nearly back to normal sensitivity wise, I really have to press around on it to notice and sensitivity. The skin is ever so slightly numb but again can’t tell unless really pushing. Going to contact the dermatologist I had it down with, so far a waste of money. :/
