Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

$2500 for 2 treatments for slight submental fullness. First treatment Nov 21/16 (2 vials) took 6 weeks to get back to baseline with no improvement. Second treatment Jan 3/17 (2 vials) took 3 weeks to get back to baseline with almost imperceptible improvement - may just be wishful thinking - at today's 4 week mark.
Swelling and pain were far worse with the second treatment, but only lasted half the time of the sustained ache/swelling of the first treatment. I'm 5 foot 4, 130 pounds, lean, fit, and active.
I had been considering chin lipo and deeply regret choosing Kybella over lipo. Not only would I have been recovered by now with ideal results, I would have saved money overall and not looked terrible for the last 10 weeks with nothing to show for it.
If you're considering Kybella over lipo, choose lipo, otherwise know that Kybella will require many treatments at a higher expense with significant recovery time after every treatment if you've ruled out surgery.
I poured over Real Self reviews of Kybella for months before going ahead with what I'd hoped wouldn't be a noticeable procedure with good results. I now believe I either ignored reviews that were honest about the swelling and results, or not enough people detailed their full experience.
Sure, you can go back to work right away, but you'll look awful and many many pounds heavier for weeks on end, versus a week of lipo downtime with a week or so of recovery, and you're done. Additionally, adding other areas of lipo only minimally increases the cost of the procedure. This is my honest assessment and I hope it helps you.
If anything miraculously changes in the next few months I will update here, but I'm not proceeding with further Kybella treatments and will likely move forward with lipo in the fall if I'm still a candidate after having received the 2 Kybella treatments.
