4th set of Kybella injections
peacetoallOctober 7, 2015
$1,350
I just had my 4th set of Kybella injections last week... so haven't really seen the full effect of them yet. I had a lot of fat to kill, so I'm not surprised it's taking longer than for others... it is working and I am glad to be doing it. It is expensive but the risks from facelift/liposuction are so daunting, I'm glad to pay it.

3rd round of Kybella injections today
peacetoallSeptember 4, 2015
I had my 3rd Kybella treatment today. I am very overweight, so I suspected I'd need at least 3 treatments. After my 2nd treatment, one side of my neck was fuller than the other side. It wasn't highly noticeable but the doctor agreed this a.m. it was a bit lopsided too.
Maybe because this is my 3rd round, it seems a bit easier. After the last 2 rounds I took Advil after the treatment, but today I didn't feel the need to. I will see him again in 4 weeks for a f/up... I'm hoping 3 rounds was the charm, but we'll see. Yes, it's expensive but surgery would've been loads more with more risks.
Please find a doctor who has had a lot of experience with Kybella... yes, this is a new treatment and it might be hard in your area to find a doctor with experience. Then wait until you can be seen by someone with experience! Things can go wrong and if the doctor hits a nerve there can be damage. I have great peace of mind knowing my doctor has treated many patients and he now is teaching other doctors how to use Kybella correctly.

Where did you research the trails? I am also in SF and interested in qualified surgeons. Thanks!

Week 2

After Day 3 I pretty much forgot about my neck, except if I touched it, it was numb. On Day 3 I did have bruising which I covered with makeup some of the bruising was yelllowish and some was bluish. On Day 7 I had a quick check up by the doctor and all was well. On Day 8, today, it's still a tiny bit numb but nothing else. My neck doesn't look smaller but one treatment isn't supposed to do the trick. I'll get my 2nd round of injections in 3 weeks.

Let us know pls how u look n if u see a difference? Most post say they see some to big difference after swelling gone.

Hi, swelling is down but I don't yet see any difference. A bit surprised that I am still a bit numb in the area. It's completely fine and I only notice it when I touch it. Won't have my 2nd treatment for another 10 days and am hoping for less chin after that one. But if I need a 3rd, that's fine too. Will update all when there's something more to report.

I was told by a doctor who is also experienced in this procedure that I would only need one treatment.

Does it cost 1350 PER TREATMENT, so >4,000 if someone needs four treatments?
August 19, 2015
yes, it's $1350 per treatment... they say most people only need 2 treatments. But please don't choose a doctor by price! Find a doctor who has already treated dozens of patients before you... experience trumps price.

I got mine yesterday for the first time. My cost is $2700 for 3 Kybella sessions, and radio frequency sessions. It's a package they sale. I have a quick question though. When you got yours done, did your Dr. followed the pattern they show on the videos?? I don't think my Dr. did that. This worries me.
September 4, 2015
yes, he uses a template that he marks carefully with an injection pattern.

Ok, I had my 2nd round of injections 2 1/2 weeks ago. My friends say my chin looks smaller but I still can't be sure. Will see Dr. G in a few weeks to assess and consider a 3rd round. I am a large person and my chin was pretty bad so I won't be surprised to need one more round at least. I've had no recovery problems but folks, be sure any doctor you go to has had A LOT of experience with Kybella! It was just approved in June so the only MDs who have enough experience (in my opinion) are those who participated in the clinical trials. You don't want a MD who is going to use you to learn about Kybella... if it's done improperly there can be nerve damage that would impact your lips and jaw... so don't take a short cut or choose someone by price alone. Ask how many patients they have treated with Kybella before proceeding!
Do you think this will be your last treatment or do you expect to get more?
