Well I've been struggling with a weak jaw and chin...

Well I've been struggling with a weak jaw and chin for years. I got a rhino a couple of years ago and it was wonderful, but a smaller nose made my jaw line appear even weaker. I've thought about everything. Jaw surgery. Chin implants. Neck lift. Lipo. Etc. I'm a skinny girl. Barely 100lbs so the stubborn area under my chin had ALWAYS been noticeable. Even when I was young. I first heard about kybella thru my rhino doctor and was pretty intrigued. But it's so expensive. Anyways I did my research and had multiple consultations with multiple doctors. Most thought I needed more drastic action than kybella. Which is why I went with the only doctor who suggested kybella. He understood that I was hoping for a non surgical option after already having rhino. And thought that I'd be a great candidate for kybella since I'm young and thin and only want a small change in my submental area. Ever since I made the decision I combed he Internet for reviews and since it's so new, there aren't many. So I guess I feel I need to contribute. Even tho my pics are completely embarrassing! Ha.
I had my first injections yesterday. Two vials at $1200 (all together). THE SWELLLING! Holy crap. From the few reviews I read, I was expecting significant swelling. But mine is extra intense. It started immediately and has only increased.

Seems much better today. The swelling hasn't gone down very much but it's definitely not like the first day. Now it looks about what I expected. It's very tender so I have not touched that area to see if it's firm or soft or numb. It appears very soft tho.

I was still a little swollen at my 4 week visit of the 2nd treatment.

The good news is there is MUCH less swelling and discomfort after the 2nd treatment. I don't want to need a third but my guess would be the 3rd is even easier.
