i was SO excited when i heard about kybella. there is a plastic surgeon in the building where i work and i asked him about a neck lift or face lift or something for my gross double chin and he told me to wait a few months because a new drug was coming out that would dissolve fat. i waited and did my research on the different doctors that would offer it. i decided not to go with that particular doctor because i found someone who had worked on the clinical trials. so i made an appointment for a consultation and after sitting in the waiting room for 2 HOURS i finally met with the doctor. he said i was a perfect candidate. i made an appt and when the time came i again waited almost 2 HOURS in the waiting room before being seen. the procedure itself stung pretty badly but i was excited for the results. its now june 2016 and this was done last year in september 2015 but from what i remember i bruised quite a bit (but i bruise easily anyway) and was pretty swollen.
no results :-(
i went back again for a second round. this time he used even more kybella.
still no results.
i went back and he said i was just still swollen. really? still swollen after a few months? i dont think so. its now been 9 months since my first injection and 8 months since the second injection and i still see absolutely no results.
very disappointed.

I m sorry about your experience and thank you for sharing it . Your doctor should give you a good discount or free for the last injection . Did you doctor used the grill ?

that was mentioned over the phone but it never happened. instead the doctor said i was just still swollen. :-(
he used the grid but also injected where he wanted.

the problem also is, it may dissolve some of the fat but now you've got a loose skin problem...

Oh, I hadn't thought about that! So now you just have "turkey neck" instead of double chin! If you starting with turkey neck, you'd think the doctor would tell you that you are NOT a candidate, but since this is a money maker for the doctor, they most likely would still tell you that you are a good candidate for the injection!

doc said he saw a tiny bit of improvement but it seems like he is finally admitting that its really not working for me because he brought up other options such as lipo.
he pretty much said 4 treatments should be enough.
i really dont think this last one (4th one) is going to make a difference.
going back friday for round FOUR!
ive decided it not worth it
at all
NO RESULTS!!!!
if anything i feel like its making my neck more jiggly.
im done!
that gives me hope.
i have seen nothing but a jigglier neck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
