So I've been following up on this Kybella...

So I've been following up on this Kybella treatment for 6 months now. I finally made the appointment and got it done today. I will upload some before pictures at 3 different angles. It was a very quick treatment. Numbing cream was applied then an ice pack. After that it was 22 injections and it was quick but be aware it does burn. It's tolerable you just have to breathe. Both surgeon and medical assistant talked me through it and I would do it again.

I had my first round done today, too. (I will post my before pics when the office sends them to me). I'd say this beats going under the knife, so far. I can't wait for results! I would love to stay updated on your kybella situation and I will try to post regularly. I go back for round 2 in 5 weeks.

Hey yes I totally agree it beats going under the knife. I will keep up with yours too :) how are you feeling now? I actually feel really swollen/stiff and I can feel the fluid in my neck.

I feel like a bullfrog! And yes so swollen and stiff. I think it's going to be hard to explain to others that it looks worse before it looks better, and it better look better!

Where did you go and what was the cost?
May 24, 2016
I went to Dr. moratta in smithtown. He had a promotion going last month where you bought one treatment and got the next one free. So I paid $800 total for 2 treatments. I'm not sure when I will be getting the 2nd one yet. They suggested June 20th but I want to see how the recovery time goes

Yes exactly it's getting worse lol.

Day 2

cmarie334
So it's been 2 days since KYBELLA. I have not left the house as my swelling is still pretty bad. It has however gone down a little bit. I am bruised but that is expected. I'm not in any pain and I'm just being patient now. Does anyone know if it's ok to drink wine with a girlfriend? She was going to come over to keep me company but I'm not sure if this will interfere with the healing process?

Wine will not interfere with the healing process. Just don't want to exercise the day of treatment

Thank you!

I'm curious to know what your results are after the swelling goes down. I'm in NYC and I'm really considering getting this treatment done. Keep us updated please! :)
May 26, 2016
Sure thing!! I'll post a picture tomorrow on how it's looking (although I'm not expecting results for at least 6 weeks) :)
May 26, 2016
I drank some wine last night too! The wine made me feel prettier, lol. ;) can't wait to say bye to bullfrog chin.
May 27, 2016
Hahahha yeah I totally forgot about it! How are you feeling ?
May 29, 2016
I feel almost back to normal. No pain, maybe a lil swelling, and numbness. I'm ready for the 2nd treatment and some results! What about you?

2nd treatment

cmarie334
It has been exactly 4 weeks and I went in for a follow up. Both the surgeon and I agreed that we didn't see any change. He suggested to give it 2 more weeks to see any change but I also wanted to get my 2nd treatment done since it will not affect the results. The 2nd treatment was done yesterday and it didn't burn/hurt as bad. I am very swollen again.

I went in for my 2nd treatment today @ 5 weeks. I hate the swelling! I'm hoping that you will update and say that the swelling wasn't as bad as the first.;)
June 27, 2016
Did you see any improvements from your first session? And don't worry the swelling was only bad the first 2-3 days ... I had no bruising either!!! (I bruised a lot for the first one) :)
June 28, 2016
I couldn't tell, if I was just back to normal or there was slight improvement. My mom and the doc said from the pics, they could see improvement. I'll try to post more pics on this round. I need more patience in seeing the results, but it is so expensive that I want instant gratification;)
