What Happened to my Jawline & Profile?! Seattle, WA
ORIGINAL POST
About 10 years ago, I noticed my jawline & profile...
$1,500
About 10 years ago, I noticed my jawline & profile was changing and I was astounded! To make matters worse, I have an excessive amount of fat under my jawline now too. Throughout the last several years, I have considered neck lipo, so when i had the opportunity to try this new cutting edge treatment (Kybella) I was very excited!
The treatment was not too painful and it only took about 15-20 minutes to do it--it was a piece of cake. The post procedure pain was more significant than I expected, and the feeling was very annoying as well. The next day the swelling (along with tenderness & firmness) started and this is when the real 'downtime' occured. Despite the significant swelling, I was able to work the next day; however, others may not be able to depending on their job. I hoped and prayed the swelling would go down quickly, but it did not. It is now day 12 and I am finally returning to my pre-Kybella neck.
I have high hopes that my neck will continue to shrink and tighten in the next few weeks and that I will soon be able to say, "It was worth it".
I am happy to answer any questions about this procedure!

Can you give me the name of the doctor that performed your treatment?

sorry it’s taken me so long to respond luckily I have been getting these treatments by the same person for years and will continue to do so. Her name is Maria Imbesi and she is the partner/part owner of Seattle Skin & Face.

Yes, who was the Doctor and was the price for just one treatment? Thanks, Debbie

Dr. Jennifer Reichel at Pacific Dermatology & Cosmetic Center in Northgate. The price I mentioned was just for one treatment, it is finally starting to look better! I think the next treatment will be cheaper :-)

Any update?

Sorry for the delay! Things are finally starting to look better; I think I will do my next treatment around Sept 17 or so. Pictures and video coming soon.

Do you have to pay for each treatment or is it one price for a series of treatments? How much was it for each treatment? Great that you've added videos, we can see that your neck has improved and looks nice.
Thank you,
Thank you,

Hello Chercou,
Really enjoyed your videos. Just wanted to see how you are found & how your treatment is going, as am really interested in "perhaps" trying myself. X

Thank you for posting these. It's the most helpful insight I've found so far on kybella. An update would be super helpful and much appreciated.

Video from Day 4 after Kybella treatment
As you can see, anyone could easily work, or be out in public on Day 4 after Kybella. I just wouldn't recommend entering a beauty contest, or being in a wedding, or going to a reunion, or family photos--but looks okay, a little swollen, a little sore, but not-unsightly!
Thanks for starting a review, I'm looking forward to hearing how the rest of your treatment goes. Did your doctor give you an estimate of how many treatments you will need? Glad to hear your neck is going down- that seems to be a common issue. We'd love to see some neck pics!
