34 Yo with Moderate Double Chin - West Bloomfield, MI

I got my wedding photos back and I hated most of them because of my double chin. I always had to be mindful in photos because I just have fullness underneath my chin and if my heads tilted down at all it is unflattering and makes me look more overweight. I could stand to lose 10 lbs, but this chin always remains when I'm super fit. Also, my jawline looked ill defined when I was taking pictures in profile. So I discovered Kybella and lurked on this site for awhile and decided to take the plunge!

The practitioner told me that more swelling actually leads to better results, but I'd rather get more treatments than have to explain why my chin is swollen. This is something I did for myself and it wasn't just about vanity. I just didn't want to think about this issue ever again. Additionally, both of my parents have significant double chins and I'd rather do an early fat removal procedure than deal with excess skin and laxity down the road.

I am about two hours out and my swelling is not bad at all. The practitioner confirmed that having fullness of fat around your whole chin will make it more likely that you'll have the dreaded bullfrog effect. So I'm glad I am getting it sooner rather than later and not waiting until my double chin reaches maturity! Yet, it is pricey!

I found the procedure to only be mildly uncomfortable.

It really isn't bad. Just super jiggly!! The bulge from a front view became more apparent, but maybe more of a tree frog than a bullfrog :)

They told me not to ice after 24hrs and only take tylenol . My husband didn't notice, which was a concern of mine. It really is forcing me to keep my chin up, as the swelling looks the worst if your chin is down. I tried on some turtlenecks, but they kind of made it look more pronounced as all the swelling squeezed out the top. Scarves are probably the best bet or super voluminous turtlenecks.
