In becoming self conscious of having a "double chin" while a baby one the older I'm getting the more candid non posed photos of this started to bother me. After researching Kybella for the past couple years and receiving a consultation, I was told I was a good candidate for the procedure. The day of the scheduled procedure I was told "well this isn't going to provide you with an Angelina Jolie jawline" and hello that's what I wanted ;) but I figured it would help my side profile a little right? So I went ahead with it and with the 2 days of hiding and puffiness that lasts for a week the results don't seem that noticeable!
* I received 2 vials of Kybella
** The pictures below are the after 2 months later.
*** Please note while the picture below looks like my results are amazing - thats not a natural position in which I typically hold my head and on the daily I still notice that double chin in pictures and in the mirror.

Net - net for the price honestly just get chin lipo - those results are more of what we ladies want (if your looking to reduce the double chin and obtain a sharper jawline) and while I feel the Kybella injections per my pictures below definitely produced results, my chin still has a little puffiness to it and I'm not spending another $700 to find out if "just one more syringe" will do the trick - already spent enough and honestly don't think it was the right treatment for what I was looking to accomplish.

Thank you for your review. I've been conflicted between Kybella and chin lipo. So your review definitely helps!

I purchased a 3-session kybella package, am out $3k, and am not impressed w/results. Still have last session to go, but have to agree..would have been better off with chin lipo.

Yes, I agree. I had chinn liposuction 10 years ago. I am happy with the results and the swelling was very verythromycin minimal. Results were immediate, since I had so much fat. Didn't even occur to me to take before and after pics, that is wonderful it is being done here.

Don't know where the verythromycin came from , the spell correct. Weird!

While I can't speak to the difference between the two options or whether the treatment was worth it, I just want to say that your after photos do look good including the top one!

Thanks MinnesotaMe. Definitely do see a difference but I was really looking for a massive difference at every angle as especially in those candid photos and I don't think that was achieved with this procedure. But appreciate the compliment! :)
