I wanted something non invasive to improve the area under my chin and thought I was too young for surgery being that I'm only 30. My concern started because I never liked the way I looked in photos. I was super excited when I heard there was an alternative so I scheduled an appointment to meet with Dr. Daines. Also, I am not a huge fan of surgery or pain and was too scared to do anything else. He used numbing cream to take the edge off and was super gentle. The thought of all the injections scared me but he reassured me that he uses a super tiny needle. I pretty much prepared for the worst but before I even had time to get all worked up, it was over! The next day I was really swollen and the area was tender when I iced it...Day 3 still swollen but it is starting to go down some. Area is still tender but its tolerable. Week 3 I called the office because I had super tiny lumps on the underneath of the skin on my throat but they assured me it was normal and that it would go away. I had to go to my friends birthday party so I just wore a scarf lol! Now that the swelling is almost all gone, and the bumps are gone, I am really happy. I will probably go in for another treatment in two weeks and will update my post with photos........ OK so I did the second injection and here are my before and after photos. I am so happy with the result and I look much better in photos with only one chin. The second time around was a breeze, any tenderness or swelling seemed to be minimal and gone even sooner. Here are the photos.....

Hi heatherfoyou. I had one vial each time, totaling 2 vials for the result I obtained. You should check Dr Steven Daines out. He's in Newport. Consultations are free and he's super cool. No pressure to up sell me. Hope this info was helpful :)

Thank you for sharing. Nice result! I had 2 1/2 viles the first time and I hope they use that much next time too. Although, the cost for me is going to be way higher than your cost. You lucked out! The area I am treating looks to be less pronounced than on some people's photos, so I am so confused about how the docs decide on how much to use.

Yea I'm not too sure myself. I think because everyone has a different shape face and different size chin, the graph that's used to mark the area is helpful in deciding how much will be needed to cover the area. Thats just my best guess tho. Good luck with your treatment. Kybella is awesome I'm sure you will get an even better result the second time around.

Wow! How long did it take to get the results of your second photo and how painful was the recovery?

the before and after pictured are about 3 months apart. I wouldn't say it was painful more like uncomfortable. Definitely much easier the second time around. It was not pleasant the first 24 hours following the first timei had the injections but after that, it was a breeze.
