Painful Tire Under My Chin/Think Carefully About This Procedure if You Are Older! - Washington, DC

I did a lot of price comparisons in my area and the price for 1 treatment ranged from $600 - $1200. The lowest price was actually the dermatologist who has great recognition in my area for quality service and awesome patient care. He did my first procedure and told me that the swelling and tenderness could last a week or longer depending upon the patient. He said some patients had swelling and soreness for months, but all of the issues eventually resolved in less than 4 months. His assistant actually had it done without lidocaine and because it was painful, he made the decision to numb patients before doing the Kybella injections. For the lowest price in my area, I feel I was treated very well. I will need 1 maybe 2 more treatments, but spacing them out 2 months apart will help with the cost. Maybe you can shop around and show your doctor that someone is offering it at a lower cost and she might match their price. Good luck and thank you for the updates!

I have to say had a Biltmore lift with Dr. Harley in Ashville and am super pleased! Almost 3 weeks out and just keeps getting better! For $6500 I felt it was a better choice then filling my face full of juvaderm or fat transfer! Hope this helps.

I feel the same way about that Biltmore lift. It is reasonably priced, and every single person on here who's had it done looks amazing. I keep considering getting my my derm calls a Neck Lipo, where they suction out the fat and then laser the inside so that the skin "shrink wraps." She said everyone loves those results. The price? 5,000. Ugh. So I am back to weighing that or the Biltmore lift and the traveling and time off work that entails. Tough decision!

I agree age has alot to do with results of Kybella. I truly believe you were ripped off I am 55 and I only needed 2 treatment. My Dr. Was upfront about the age limit and told me that 55 was the cutoff for Kybella I didn't have any of the problems you are experiencing and it was 650 per treatment. Although I see the absence of the fat pocket I also see now how old my neck looks I'm not blamingamong the Kybella I

get the facelift!! Don't waste money on a 2nd treatment or on thermage.

I am so glad you posted your experience. What has happened to you unfortunately is just what I would think would happen. I am almost 58 and have been going on consults with various doctors. I am scheduled to try micro cool sculpting under the chin on the neck to reduce some fat there. Not a lot, so maybe the cool sculpting will tide me over until I pull the trigger on a facelift. Good luck to you. Keep us posted as to your progress.

I know what you mean! Posting pics is hard as his is such a personal thing. I hope you start seeing results soon! It's hard to think about going back for a second round when there are so little, if any, from the first. I am three days out from my second and saw very minimal results from the first. And it's so expensive to keep go back again and again and again....let us know what you decide! And I'll certainly update on my second round once it's healed...if I don't see much result from that one either I'll warn you for sure!

The same thing with me. 3 weeks after, and still a bull frog throat.

Thank you for sharing with us.

Kathy , No I do not see where this worked, how heartbreaking for your pocketbook and heart.
