Didn't want to go the lipo/ surgery route. One local doctor recommend a neck lift, face lift, and some injectables totaling $12K, which was out of my budget and comfort zone. I have been a patient of Dr Gallo's in Miami for years and trusted him completely to try out this new option, Kybella. I wouldn't have been so courageous with any other doctor except him. The numbing injections were the worst part. Swelled up within an hour of receiving the Kybella. Stayed swollen and sore for a good 5 days, then the swelling went down and I only had some bruising on my neck. Glad I did it on a Thurs and had to weekend to lie low. Currently I am 5 weeks out and I feel like I have already lost some fat in my chin. one spot on my chin is still completely numb, though. Visit number 2 next week!

Wow-you look great!! I am three weeks out today and still feel numb, swollen and turkey necked. I am crossing my fingers that I look more like your 5-week after shot! Thanks so much for sharing.

I think the 3 week mark was just about when I started to go back to normal looking- fingers crossed for you!

Submental Fat Liposuction is a procedure that I practice on a selected group of patients and is 15 minute procedure under local anesthetic, amazing results and very quick recovery 3-4 days with none of the post treatment sequelae that have been reported with Kybella. It is a chemical that destroys fat and possibly other tissues in the way. Personally I may consider it for patients that ask after it is time tested several years from its introduction into the market.

After all of have read, I have to agree with you Dr. Adler. The swelling, the turn around time, the minimal results, they all seem to add to a lot of hype...

I definitely see improvement!! Does the Dr. think you need another shot?

The swelling was better this time around. May be due to the fact that I took two days off from work this time and laid low with ice packs... swelling was mostly down by day 4-5, now back to my initial appearance before I started the series of Kybella...hopefully it was be back to less fat ( as it was about 4 weeks after first appt) and continue to shrink in the coming weeks.

Me too..Following , as i want to get this done...Can you give a round about cost for each treatment or do you get a package deal
Thanks so much for starting a review- I can't wait to hear how it all goes. I see a change already in your before to 5 week pics. Do you think you will need more than 2 total visits?
Ha ha!
