How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Kybella Final Results
I am now 10 weeks post second treatment and believe I'm looking at my final results as I don't know what else would change. I am happy with how things turned out but will run down my thoughts on Kybella vs Lipo as I have had both.
Lipo Pros-
Faster "recovery", looked "normal" quicker
Faster results
Less pain post procedure
Cheaper
Cons-
More invasive procedure
May need anesthesia based on your tolerance (I will say I did lipo with tumescent anesthesia only and it was very comparable comfort wise to having the Kybella injections)
Need a chin strap for a period of time based on your doctors instructions
Kybella Pros-
Can be done in an office setting
Not as invasive
Can drive yourself to and from your appt
Cons-
Ridiculous amount of swelling that can last over a month
Need multiple treatments
Expensive, may not know final cost until well invested in treatment
Hope this helps any of you who are going back and forth trying to decide between procedures.

4 weeks post second injections
Not much to report, no more pain, swelling or bruising. The second round was over all pretty uneventful. I will add a picture and then give my final review in a couple of months when I should be fully healed.
4 days post 2nd injection
Pain and swelling are much less this time around. I am more bruised to the point that people have commented but I haven't been diligent with the arnica. Still have some swelling but nothing hideous like last time.
