I like reading really detailed reviews, it helps really get an idea of what to expect with these procedures.
So here goes!
Before I went in I had done my research and was expecting what everyone was talking about: quick procedure, heavy burning sensation, crazy swelling for weeks, numbness in the area, etc.
Everyone working at the office of Dr. Ryan Greene is super nice and helpful! I met Holly (who I think led all the Kybella treatments there) and she briefly explained everything to me and asked if I wanted to go through with the procedure (I scheduled a free consultation but you can decide to do it that same day if you want, I’m guessing because it’s so quick). I said yes and she put numbing cream under my chin for a few minutes. My main concern was the fat directly under my chin. It gave me a weird rounded look that made my chin look bigger/longer. But I also wanted a more structured jawline.
It is as fast as everyone says. Holly did two vials which was about 4-5 needles. It was literally 5 minutes maybe even less. Holly saw my chin and pointed out the exact problems I already knew so she concentrated the Kybella right under my chin and then did some along my jawline. The burning sensation everyone was talking about (when the Kybella actually goes into your body) I truly didn’t feel. Now, I have to say, I have a really high pain tolerance. Like really high. I was mentally prepared for the burning everyone was talking about but I really didn’t feel much. Maybe for a minute or two, but Holly also gave me a little ice pack for after and it went away after like a minute.
Now for the bigger side effect: swelling. You see the swelling start immediately. However I am absolutely thrilled at how little swelling I’ve had to deal with!
I had my procedure done on a Monday morning, so that same day I’m counting as Day 1. That day was the worst but I had the day off so. By Tuesday it had already went down significantly! Wednesday and today, Thursday (Day 3 and 4), I could still see the swelling but to be honest it’s the type of difference that you know nobody else is going to notice. And nobody has even asked yet. No bruising either so far. To be honest, I kind of expected the swelling to not be too bad because I’d had a nose surgery before and I didn’t swell or bruise as bad as the doctors told me I would or as bad as pictures I’d seen.. I was pretty normal after like 5 days. I just don’t swell much in general. So if you’ve ever been in a similar situation where you had to deal with swelling, try to remember how bad it was and it’ll give you an idea of how bad you’ll swell after Kybella. My chin is still numb at day 4. It’s not too uncomfortable, only when I touch it (like when you have a bruise, it doesn’t bother you until you touch it). It’s only been 4 days and even the numbing is fading significantly. I’m just feeling a little ugly because the swelling is making my face look more round when it usually tapers at the jaw/chin (aka I look fatter). But considering how seamless the process has been I can’t complain!
I’m going to update this at 1 week, and then after that every week until my next session!
