Kybella did NOT work, waste of time & $$$ :(
$3,000
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.

Thank you for sharing. I've had 2 viles of Kybella, three different times. So a total of 6 viles of Kybella over 7 months. I'm not seeing much difference. I am 45 years old...so maybe that has something to do with it? Not sure if I'm going to go for round 4.

Thanks for posting your pics and sharing your experience. I do see some improvement. I just had a third treatment last week. I have waited about 8 weeks between injections. My swelling has never completely gone down. I am $5100 in so far so the investment has me seeing it through. When i read the advice and expectations that injectors write about on this site...they are all over map. It appears that many don't have clue about what post treatment is really like. Thanks!

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.

Thank you for sharing your journey, have you seen any improvement? My Dr told I'll notice improvement in about 4 months. I had two vials 4 weeks ago, still swollen. Let us know!

Personally, having undergone 2 kybella sessions of 3vials/each in past 6months, thus far, I see very little, if any, improvement in my double chin. My profile looks the same to me..I'll take & post updated pics soon. Good luck!
