Kybella did NOT work, waste of time & $$$ :(
It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted on RS. After paying $3k for 3 sessions of Kybella and still having my double chin, I’m back in search of a real solution. I wish I would’ve never wasted my time and money on Kybella, as it did not work for me, at all. Generally speaking, the results on Kybella really do not appear to be reliable/consistent. Based on my experience with Kybella, I reccomend anyone considering it to re-think it and get as informed as possible.
I still desperately want to get rid of my double chin and now I will have to spend more money and endure yet another recovery period on a different procedure or, maybe even two procedures. I am reading up on chin lipo and buccal fat pad removal and will look into those procedures to try to reduce my double chin and chubby cheeks. I wish I would’ve done chin lipo originally instead of Kybella.

Updated pics
Here are a couple updated pics after 2 Kybella Sessions, 3vials per session. Not sure how I feel about it. I think my double chin looks bigger in person and these pics aren't capturing that. I'm still not satisfied with the look so I hope my 3rd session gets the job done.
2months 3weeks post 2nd round, double chin remains
I will be scheduling my 3rd/final session in about,a month or so, but I figured I'd post update. Unfortunately, my double chin doesn't look very different from pre-Kybella. I thought there'd be more improvement by now. Kinda think traditional chin lipo (as scary as that would have sounded to me when I started this journey) could have been better option for me but since I pre-paid my Kybella sessions, I figure I'd complete them. Despite this disappointment, I really hope the next round provides visible improvement, otherwise, I'd just be out $3k, still walking around with a very unflattering double chin and will have to give the treatment a "not worth it" rating:/
For now, I'll just reiterate to potential Kybella patients, this is definately not a quick fix.

Provider Review
Dr. Steven Pearlman
Dr. Pearlman only administered the first of my three Kybella sessions. The other 2 sessions were administered by someone else in his office. I found Kybella to be a major waste of money and time without reduction in my double chin.
