I have never been skinny, but even when I was a size 6 in pants, my face was still very chubby. My side profile was absolutely terrible and embarrassing. I had thought about submental liposuction but knew I couldn't afford it, so I planned to do it after graduation. Then during a class group project, the professor had us watch the video he had taken of us during the project. When I saw my face, I nearly cried. I couldn't believe how heavy it made me look. That's when I researched Kybella. I was skeptical at first, but I have never spent better money. My face has completely transformed. My entire look has completely transformed. I have only done two injections too!!! I am going for a third in September and possibly a fourth a few months later, once all the swelling has gone down completely.

Hello how long did it take you to start seeing good results ?
May 20, 2018
I saw results within 4-6 weeks of just the first session! Even after only the second session, I was starting to notice thinner cheekbones and definition along my jaw bone. I remember even after the first, I could feel my jaw bone much more than I ever could. It depends on the person obviously, but I think for a significant change, 3 or more is necessary. But again, there were visible improvements just after the first two. Sorry if that confused you more! It depends on your problem areas and the size, the injectors level of skill, how your body reacts, and what your desired results are. I highly highly recommend it even if you can only get 2.

Kybella - the Life (and Confidence) Saver

I had a chubby face and horrible side profile no matter why weight and size I was at. Sure, it wasn’t AS bad when I was a size 6 versus a size 16, but it was always pretty terrible. My breaking point was when a professor recorded us doing a group project (to observe our leadership/team skills) and made us watch it. When I saw my side profile, I was horrified. I remember nearly crying. I immediately made an appointment with Dr. Christopher Godek. I’m not sure how I came to even look at Kybella instead of other similar procedures, but the submental liposuction would have been $6,000 - and I would’ve had to pay it up front - and the Kybella was $1,200/treatment and I could slowly pay for for it each time I received another treatment. Being an extremely poor (and at this point, desperate) college student, I went with the Kybella because I knew I couldn’t wait however long it would take for me to save up $6,000. Here we are nearly a year and 4 treatments later and may I say, my confidence is at a point it’s never been before. It is recommended you do each treatment 4-8 weeks apart but my sister passed at the end of the summer so my third and fourth treatments were postponed for a few months. I am planning on getting a fifth treatment sometime this summer.
Kybella - and Dr. Godek and his AMAZINGGGG team - literally saved my life. I used to photoshop ALL my photos to slim my face a little bit. Not so much that it was entirely noticeable, but between angling the camera a certain way and slimming my face a bit, my photos didn’t even look like me. Now, I can take pictures from any angle and not photoshop my face thinner. I have defined cheek bones, a relatively chiseled chin (for me anyway), and no more rooster chin. I am going to post some photos for everyone to see. If this review/post motivates even one single person to book a Kybella treatment, it was worth typing this up and finding photos. I have a small blog type thing on Instagram and I post photos of my Kybella results and I’ve had A LOT of people contact me about it. More than not, I was able to convince them to take the plunge and take back their confidence. Please feel free to ask me ANY questions about Kybella or my out of this world surgeon, Dr. Godek.
