Kybella for my Turkey Neck - Orlando, FL

WORTH IT$1,000
Get ready for an honest review of Kybella. I just had the procedure today (two vials) which cost 1k. Here's what I can tell you so far:
1) It hurt like a mother...I mean it is acid. I would ask for some lidocaine if I were you.
2) supposedly the swelling is for a day or two. That's what I read on here. Well, I was informed the swelling would be worse on the second day. As you can see by my 5 hour post procedure photo, I look like a pelican (as in I could fit a fish in my gullet). For any of you on the fence about Kybella, consider getting the procedure done in time for Halloween. You could incorporate your neck as part of your costume...maybe go trick or treating as Honey BooBoos Mom?
So what I am trying to say is don't plan on being anywhere you will be seen for 48 hrs. Otherwise I feel fine, but I will plan on milking this (cow reference) for the next two days on the couch.

Slow progress
Day 3
Still looks horrible. This photo does not do it justice. The swelling is the worst. I did leave the house today though. I had to grocery shop and keep looking upward to minimize the appearance of the swelling (haha!)

I feel your pain...literally. Slightly horrific. But I've completed three rounds over a six-month period and am extremely happy with the results. I've never taken pics immediately post-injection bc I'm so shocked when I look in the mirror I go into slight denial. With time though and each subsequent set of injections the pain and swelling aren't as bad.
I suspect you'll be pleased!! Keep it up and be encouraged it'll get better and you'll see results!

I'm 3 weeks out from my 1st treatment... I feel like the swelling JUST went down and now its working. I def wasn't aware of how long swelling would last but thats my fault.

i agree with you. I think during the week of 3-6 is when u really see results. weeks 1-3 you can't really see any difference due to major swelling.

It's been 8 days since Kybella and the bruising and swelling has almost completely gone away! I am looking forward to a skinny neck!

It is a relief to know that sassyseashell says she is glad she did all 3 treatments. I want the look in the brochure!!! (Again, most of those people had 3 or MORE treatments). I read somewhere that all of my huge purple bruises from my 1st Kybella treatment may be from the 1-a-day flaxseed pill I am taking. I am not taking any other ibuprofin or aspirin or fish oil, so I was surprised at the bruising. My kids and other random people DEFINITELY give me the "stares" because of the bruises, not the waddle. (I refuse to stay inside and hide because I keep insisting to myself that this was sold to me as a "no down time" procedure). I don't think anyone notices the bullfrog neck so much. Once you start looking around, just about everyone over the age of 45 has a bit of a bullfrog neck.

There is a hard lump that you can see if you look closely. It gets smaller every day and I can literally feel my skin tightening up as it heals. (Esp when looking upward). I look the same at this point but I have a feeling just one injection may do the trick for me. Yay

I had one vial 12 days ago and it looks much worse compare to what my neck originally looked. I really regret it. My double chin was minimal. I have a hard lump too. I wish I could have my neck back.
