I workout often and have forever had a slight double chin. I didnt think I needed a drastic procedure like lipo. Additionally, surgery would be a hassle for me at this point in my life so i took a GIANT leap on a procedure with reviews that look like they are not from actual clients. I just had the procedure today and felt very comfortable. Getting numbed with needles prior to actual acid injections was the worst but definitely not that bad. Procedure did not take long and i had stinging at site of injection. As you can see, my neck fat appears decreased in the before photo. This is because after injections you are most likely to swell up, and yep I sure did. I was told the swelling will be the worst the day right after and from there on will decrease. My next injections are September 29th-2 months from now. $1700 for 2 rounds. I expect questions but may or may not reply to some as I am a private person. Right now I am unsure if this product works. I tried lipo laser (see other review) and can tell you that is a total waste of money. Fingers crossed!

What kind of injection?
July 27, 2015
Deoxycholic acid, which is reported to be a synthetic form of a naturally occurring fat blasting chemical in our bodies.

I don't see a difference. How long for the results to appear?

Day 2

Not much to update. I am still swollen and neck is painful to the touch. I think a good time to do this procedure would be in the fall or winter when you can wear a scarf to hide the bruising and swelling. I definitely do not feel as a ttractive as I did before the procedure but will wait for swelling to go down. I have been using an ice pack off and on. My pain level is minimal and more of a discomfort. I may be able to get away with wearing a light scarf in this hot weather.

Great update and advice on winter/fall procedure. That's good to think about. I can't wait to hear how you're feeling and if you think it's worth it or not in the upcoming months! Please keep us posted as this procedure could change the lives of many. Best of luck with recovery!

Day 3
Seek ITJuly 25, 2015
The swelling has not yet gone done. Some of the numbing agent has worn off and occasionally my neck will feel itchy/tingly. Although it is allowed, I havent taken any tylenol or benadryl. So far, the bruising is very subtle and can be covered with makeup. I forgot to add from previous posts I have been able to go to work and carry on with my day as usual. However, I haven't been running outdoors as usual. My neck does feel slightly heavy and not sure how that would affect my breathing while running in the heat. Exercise was given an OK after 24hrs post procedure.

Hi Seek IT, I congratulate on your being one of the first to try these treatment. No matter what happens you really deserve credit for being one of the first. I'm really trying to decide if this is the best way to go or just have surgery. To be honest I'm a little concerned from what I see, seems to be more swelling than I would have imagined. I'm quite hopeful it will go down very soon. I myself did have a mini lift which came out great and some work done on my neck as part of the mini lift but not a complete neck lift. Really hoping the best for you and please update any photos you can as that would be so helpful. Thanks and the Best in your recovery.

Thanks Im glad you were satisfied from your mini lift. Because my neck still looks the same-swollen wise, I havent updated with a new photo. From my research, iy seems with regular chin lipo there may be swelling as well and both lipo and kybella produce results in the same time frame. I appreciate the support! One good thing is today, the fourth day my neck feels a bit more normal even if the swelling hasnt gone down.
Thanks for starting a review. Please let us know how the next few days go for you. We'd love to see pics of what you chin looks throughout the healing.
