27 Years Old and Need This Double Chin Gone - Miami, FL

I was injected with Kybella on Thursday, 8/13/15, in the afternoon. I decided not to get numbed up with lidocaine/epinephrine because I hate the numb feeling and I had dinner plans later that night. The injections weren't painful at all but the product actually gives you a burning sensation. I went to dinner that night and my chin/neck was gradually getting more and more swollen. I did not ice. When I woke up the next morning I was definitely not expecting the swelling to be that bad. Sure, I was forewarned that it would be bullfrog-like, but wow was it bad. I literally started crying. I am not new to cosmetics I've had swelling from fillers before, had plastic surgery, etc. THE SWELLING IS BAD! I iced during lunch and compressed as much as I could and I feel it helped some. It is Saturday morning and I'm currently icing. The area still feels tender and hard in the injection site. I do have bruising, but nothing major. It's the swelling that's horrible. I feel the swelling is worse in the morning. I'll keep everyone posted.

I'm still swollen. Doesn't look any better to me, but my chin doesn't wobble as much. Still bruised, bought some arnica today. Let's see how it goes. I hate this swelling, makes me self-conscious.

Don't worry, it will go down. The swelling lasts for a week or two. I think my swelling was even worse than yours.

I've only had 1 session so far and I my swelling didn't fully go away until 3 weeks even though they said 7-10 days. It's now been 5 weeks and I have my 2nd session next week so hoping the swelling is less the second go round but be patient! My friends can see the difference after only one session!

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't responded in many days, I had unexpected surgery last week. The swelling very minimal, still not at baseline in my opinion. Hopefully I start seeing improvements soon!

In your 11-day photo, I can see improvement. Keeping my fingers crossed for you, honey!

How much was it? Do they bill it per treatment? Why not lipo? How do they determine if your a good candidate? I'm in Monroe county but still would come up to Miami for that.

I paid 2400 for two treatments lipo would be less money and you would see results faster.

Thank you! How is the swelling now?
Thanks for sharing the photos! We keep hearing about the "bullfrog." Sounds like icing helps? I can already see a difference in the 72 hour post photo! Exciting! Will you continue treatments?
Thank you for starting a review. It sounds like the swelling is definitely a bigger issue than it was ever advertised- I keep seeing people mention that in their reviews. Thanks for adding pics and for keeping us posted! Let us know what the swelling does over the next couple weeks and if you start to see discoloration or bruises.
