I'm really, really disappointed with the treatment I received with Kybella. I didn't have a ton of submental neck fat to begin with, but really wanted to see a nicer profile. After 3 treatments and 4 total vials there was no result. Not to say it won't work for you, but important to know it may not before you spend too much money. Apparently it has nothing to do with the amount of fat you have. Sometimes it just does not work for people. Really wish someone had told me that!The office is really great so it makes me feel a little bad to write this review, but I'm super, super disappointed with my Kybella result. I think the doctor could have been a lot more forthcoming about the possibility of treatment not working. Had I known the treatment was a little "iffy" (and did not work for everyone) I wouldn't have wasted $2400. To make matters worse the doctor now wants to charge an additional $3500 if I want to see the improvement I was hoping for with Kybella. I work an average desk job, have a military hubby and don't have that kind of money after already wasting $2400.

Oh no. I'm so sorry to read about this. Can I ask your age range? I'm 45 and I have had 3 rounds of Kybella. I did have a decent amount of fat under my chin, but I am not really seeing results. I'm wondering if it's my age?

I am 35. Of all the research I've done I can't see a reason why it wouldn't have worked. Guess I'm just one of the unlucky few. :( Sorry to hear your're not having success either!

I just updated my review. Now, all the sudden, I see a small change. It's ridiculous that it has taken 8 months and 3 rounds to see a small change on myself.

Thank you for sharing.

I agree....it isnt worth the money, pain or time. They say it tightens the skin as it shrinks the fat. Nothing tightens the skin except surgery Don't waste the money. I too drew out $2400.

im sad to say that im with you. I see a difference but not an improvement, definitely not worth it. and as for you, it was a lot of money spent for nothing.
