10 wks post op second treatment
$1,800
This is 10 wks post op second procedure and I still look worse than before I started Kybella. I am very disappointed. My suggestion to you is to save your money, and do your research! I am left with $1800 less in my wallet and looking worse. See pictures for yourself.

4 weeks post second treatment
This is 4 weeks post second treatment and still no improvement, I still believe it's worse than before I started treatment. This is very frustrating considering the cost.

My Doctor here in St. Louis was in on the trial phase. When I asked him about it, he said he thought I wouldn't be happy with the length of time it would take to work. Thank goodness I didn't do it. I will be having liposuction. I hope it helps you. Please keep posting pictures.

I had a neck lift and lipo. Just realised that subcutaneous fat can come back. NOTHING IS FULL PROFFERED. I am in my 3 Rd day after my Kybella treatment and I have had no pain at all. If you read any articles or have a good doctor they will tell you swelling is part of the treatment. The more swelling the better. Please just inform yourself of all outcomes and go to a board certified plastic surgeon to have anything done.

I had Kybella done on Feb 24th, 2016. I want people to understand the side effects of Kybella. This is NOT a quick fix nor is it a completely noninvasive way to remove double chin. By reading reviews and thinking I was only going to be swollen for a few days I was quite surprised by the actual side effects. You will initially look worse after the first treatment than you did before the treatment. Be prepared to stay home for awhile or try to hide you chin area. Initially after the first treatment I was VERY swollen for at least a week, bruised for three weeks. And at 4 weeks out there is no change (maybe even bigger double chin than before) in my double chin at all from before and I still have a pocket of loose skin under my chin along with numbness. This is an expensive treatment and I just want people to understand that the recovery from this treatment is very similar to surgery recovery. I am not saying that this treatment doesn't work and I understand that I will need more treatments to get the full effect but I am most certainly not looking forward to putting myself through this again.

Yes, this is all very true.
I am a beauty blogger and had kybella and was swollen for 6 weeks, people made the worst comments on social media so it is 100% not a few days, be prepared to look worse for at least 4 weeks.
Mine started to finally look less
Swollen after 4
Weeks and completely back to normal at 6 weeks and even though I had two treatments I am not seeing a huge difference of any at all but I credit this to the fact that my injector is not following kybella instructions and not using the kybella mini tattoo applicator,
He just nilly willy injected wherever he wanted and only did about 6-10 injection sites normally from
What I understand from the doctors here is that you should
Typically receive about 20 injection sites

Ur before & during pics could b mine, for sure. After my Kybella under chin treatment, I iced on/off for six hrs. immediately following my appt. & wore a 'chin strap' for four nights (10-12 hrs. my little add on and not required by dr.) So my frog neck was gone in one day/night and no swelling at all. Think because of aforementioned help it recover quicker (just my opinion). However, I have the the worst jiggly, huge chin ever! When I shake my head, it jiggles everywhere & I look like I gained 20 lbs. in my neck. So, NO, I don't feel it worked (even with time) with the results I'm looking for. I spent $1600 for one application of Kybella (2 vials one for each side of chin) and one Skin Tite ll skin tightening treatment @ $400 for neck and Juvederm for lower marionette lines. Over all, I would not waste my money on Kybella if you are older (like me wanting to get rid of small turkey gobble and refine jawline) or if you are 20ish lbs. or more overweight (which I am also). From all the reading/reviews/research (personal experience) I've been doing I am convinced it is for younger people, close to normal weight range or older persons if they have good skin elasticity. For my money, complete waste of time and worst fat jiggly chin & my jawline side profile are gone. UGH! SO, in the fall I am having lower lift/laser/lipo. Wish I'd have listened to dr's advice on realself.com as that is what most advised. Good luck with future results.

Excuse me I apologize and want to correct something! Although my pics look similar to ur's I would not say that ur chin is like mine in any other way except urs is much smaller and tighter than mine is after Kybella & I have a small turkey gobble which you do not. I am so sincerely sorry how my wording/comparison may have sounded. Also the part "my frog neck was gone in one/day night and no swelling" should corrected and say no bruising. Apologies!

From all the comments I've been reading over the last few months,..... seriously....everybody, just get the surgery and be done with it. By the time you get through, it doesn't look like much cost difference and the recover time and side affects are much less with surgery . From all what I've read and seen, definitely NO to Kybella!!

Agreed! One week out after one Kybella treatment. Still wobbly fat bigger chin that I didn't have 2 start with. Letting things be & saving for my lower lift/laser/lipo. Still appreciate all of the honest reviews shared on Realself. The information gathered & hearing real results is very appreciated.

I've been looking into this for a while too and from what it seems...for cost why not just do surgery? One recovery, results you can pretty much count on and it doesn't drag on for months and months. I've definitely read more bad reviews than good.

I am experiencing the same worse than I went in for. Can you tell me does it take a second treatment to see results?

I had two treatments and I'm still unhappy. It's been 3 and a half weeks since my second treatment and I still look worse than before I started kybella back in December.
