So I finally decided I had enough of my double chin and my saggy arms. I decided to try Kybella because it's supposed to be the best option out now
First the doctor examined me to determine if I was a good candidate and and much I would need to get injected into my chin. She explained the benefits in great detail. I had no questions after we talked and I'm not new to surgeries so it was nice for me to get all the answers I needed upfront. She had me take 800 mg of ibuprofen and 2 Tylenol for the pain bc she doesn't agree with using lydocain. She believes it has unnecessary and unpredictable side affects. I like that she looks out for the patients overall health. After the pain killers she put some dots on my neck where she was going to inject me. And then I had to numb my neck with an ice pack for about 15 mins. So now I'm getting scared and anxious. Is it that painful that I need all these things to prevent me from feeling the pain?
Well it started. She started injecting near my upper chin first and nothing. I mean I didn't feel anything at all so I relaxed. Next shot nothing so I relaxed a little more. Then she started getting closer to my neck and then the pain started. It was a mixture of burning and pinching I really can't fully describe it. Thank god the doctor moved fast bc before I had a chance to say stop it was all over.
About 5 minutes after she finished the procedure my neck was very swollen and a little red from the spots she injected me at but the pain was all gone. It didn't hurt but it was uncomfortable. She told me to take arnica, progesterone, and ice 10x a day to reduce the swelling.
She said I would need one to 2 more treatments. Right now I'm still swollen but I can actually feel the fat turning into liquid in my neck. It's so weird.

Hi, I've never heard of this procedure. Is it like mesotherapy? Do the fat cells die off? And, what will it do for your arms? Curious about this!!
October 11, 2015
Yes it does kill of the fat cells. The procedure from my understanding was just approved in the U.S. Thats why you might not have heard of it. There are only a hand few of doctors that have been selected to do this procedure. I'm not sure if this is the best procedure for arms. I was told cool sculpting would help with my large arms but at my next appointment I will ask the doctor about its uses on the arm

Really interesting. Except for the no anaesthetic bit. You look a little young for Botox, but I'm wondering if the discomfort's comparable. Suppose half a bottle of tequila first'd be frowned on too?:)) Looking forward to hearing how you get on. Good luck, Toni.

I can numb up the area with lidocaine, but if you are using only two vials I can do it quickly enough that it doesn’t sting or burn because you can put ice packs on the neck. I have tried it both ways, and the patients find it to be comfortable with two vials just using the ice packs. If you are concerned, we can numb up the superficial skin with topical anesthetic. Using lidocaine is always an option that can be discussed.

Hi,
I am located in NY too. I was wondering how much it costed for you for 2 viles and whether they used 2 files per session. Thank you!

Still swollen
krazyk212October 11, 2015
Hello so it's been a little over a week. My neck is still swollen. I was told that pulls be normal for up to 2 weeks. (It doesn't help that I didn't follow any post op instructions). It's still a bit tender but no pain. At one point I could actually feel the liquid fat moving in my chin. It was definitely a weird experience. My doctor said I will most likely need up to 2 more treatments.

Can you post some new pics pretty pleasseeee!!!!! I'm on the fence about Kybella, all the before and after pics I've seen don't have dramatic results. How do you feel about your results?
November 24, 2015
im a Jersey girl, looking to get this done too, i will travel if price is right..Could you inform us the pricing maybe? Also lets see some pics gurlllllllll....Are you happy with procedure? did you go back for the other 2 sessions or were you thinking the one was enough?
November 26, 2015
I am happy after just my first round. I didn't see results until about the fifth week of the first round. Just did my second last week. The price is 1500 per treatment up to 2 vials. Which is about the amount the vast majority needed. I believe I needed a vial and a half.
November 26, 2015
They never recommend one treatment. 2 is the minimum. But again it's your choice but trust me after the first round swelling goes away you will book your second round
November 26, 2015
I love my results. I will try to post some pictures that she took from the office to show the difference

Second round
krazyk212November 26, 2015
Hello. Sorry for the lack of response. I forgot I set up this account with another email and forgot to check on it. But here is my update
Last week I had my second round. Dr Clark feels that's all I need. Most patients need between 2-4 rounds of injections. The second time the swelling was significantly less and I needed a smaller amount of injections as well. I'm Very happy about that. I am still slightly swollen but I have seen a major difference between my before and after pictures. I am extremely happy with my choice and would do it again in a second. I might actually consider doing Ultherapy with her as well after this. Since I lost the fat I would definitely like a little more tightening of the skin. Even though right now removing that small amount of fat under my chin has already made a huge difference. I ran into my ex husband and he told me I looked so much slimmer. ???????????? I was soooo happy.
