I went for a consultantion with the NP and the Rep from Kybella. It was suggested I purchase 3 vials of Kybella. If they don't use all of the product she will save it for my 2nd appointment in 6 weeks. My mon had a really fatty double chin, as well as, her mother. I'm starting to develop a second chin and I'm hoping this product will stop it before it gets worse. It's especially started to bother me in thr past few years.

I'm a little nervous but very excited! I was told to expect some numbness and swelling. I chose to do thr procedure on a Friday to allow the swelling to hopefully go down before going back to work on Monday. I will update as I go!!!! Wish me luck!!!!!!

How did the Kybella shot go? If you are not happy with it, I think you might be better off with lipo and a neck lift, lower face lift. I will be curious is the Kybella does any tightening. Best of luck.

I'm a single mother with a full time career. I don't have the down time for surgery. I will give this a shot and see. I'm also scheduled for Bellafill in my lower face in a few weeks. Hopefully this will give me a more youthful appearance!

I will be curious to hear about your bellafill experience. Where will it be injected?

Hello and thank you for sharing. I think with the amount of money that you're willing to spend on Kybella, you should invest in liposuction as you will see much better results. Good luck!

Please let us know how you've been doing since Friday- is the swelling getting better by now?

Swelling and bruising on the day after injections. Swelling started to decrease on day 3. Still some swelling and the bruise is starting to fade. It's a wait and see kind of situation. I have to say thr injections were more painful than I expected. Tolerable but definitely more painful than a botox or filler. Looking forward to seeing the results. :)

You were numbed beforehand right?  I don't think you are alone in experiencing more pain than anticipated.  Hopefully it isn't as bad with the next round.

Nope... I honestly don't think numbing would have helped. It's been a week today and I actually still FEEL numb! Continues to feel tight and/or bruised... according to the drug rep this us to be expected and is an indication that the drug is working. Just feels weird and sore. But not intolerable. 5 weeks to go before the next injections. :)

I hope the numbness gets better, from the other reviews I've read that sounds pretty common (as well as a firmness or lumpiness).  Keep us posted!

Allure Enhancement, Cindy Lacombe Cobb. I did 4 vials of Bellafill in my mid face. Under my eyes, cheeks etc... decided to wait on the lower face. I'm still slightly swollen in the chin area. So my appointment for the lower face Bellafill is the 3rd week of February. I'm pleased with the mid face results but it does require more product than a typical filler. It's very smooth and thin. I've taken lots of before pics and will post once I have the after.

So its been over 5 years since I removed my little extra fat under my chin. Personally I feel I wish I had done it earlier but it is what it is... lol. 5 years and I'm now considering surgery to pull and tighten, well as much as possible. My skin under my chin has become loose and saggy. Crepey I guess is the correct term but whatever it is, I don't like it! 6 months and I will be 50! (Omg) for my birthday I will be buying a procedure to help me look and feel my best. I think kybella did what it was supposed to do but now I need to do something with the saggy skin left from my little fat pocket! Lol
