Oh yeah - that post-treatment swelling looks a lot like what my DH experienced. Well, his was bigger than that, because his neck's bigger than yours. I'm glad the treatment wasn't painful, and I look forward to seeing pics of the final results!

thanks for sharing! hope it goes well

Thank you for sharing. I'm seriously considering between Kybella and lipo. It seems that if you factor in most people needing multiple treatments, the cost isn't too different. And it's a hefty chunk of money, for me. But if it took a hefty chunk out of my turkey neck it would be worth it! I hope you keep us posted.

Following with interest. I have always been bugged by a slight double-ish chin, even when I was young and thin. Can't wait to see your results.

I needed to google this procedure. Looks like it is a series of injections, so I'm thinking you won't see much after only one.

How many does your doctor say you will need?

I hate to be nosy and you can say no but can you tell me approximately how much each treatment costs? The site says most people need five.

Now if only that worked for underarms :-).

I'm I meant to address pricing and forgot. I'm in Orange County CA, so probably on the high side. My doctor charges by the vial, two per session for $1,400 which includes the numbing and any follow up laser sessions for bruising. I gave myself about $5k before committing to it and I'm currently in for $2,700 cuz I got a $100 discount.

&cattyles, I chose injections because it works better with my work. Several treatments, but no down time. I just schedule a week off travel.

Doc estimated two or maybe three treatments. The good thing about this is the number of treatments is a process. After I recover from the second, I can decide if the result is desirable or if I want a third. Marketing pics will always show the max because they want tow most dramatic results. Also the number of treatments is affected by amount and area of fat distribution as well as age.

@marlene - with so much weight gain from other issues, I decided on this because it was one area I can get satisfaction now while we figure out what's going on with the rest of my fat. ;). I've always had this double chin, even as a 20 year old size 4.

Oh 1929, I wasn't questioning on why or where you used the kybella, I was just jokingly remarking that it would be great if kybella would get rid of turkey arms. :-) As in my turkey arms. No matter how much I work out, they still flap around!

Thanks Marlene. I didn't take it that way. I'm pushing my Pilates reformer exercise to help with the flapping. I'd like some Kybella in my belly rolls!

Marlene, I think it was Garrison Keillor who nicknamed those arm flaps on a teacher he once had, "Hoppy" and "Bob." That's how we've long referred to them in my family, and yes, I have a Hoppy and a Bob of my very own. Unfortunately.

Mine are Elmer and Orville. They are always hanging around :-)

1929, I think the best exercise ever is the Pilates reformer!

Marlene, those are our bat-flaps. I hear that once they reach peak flappiness , we can fly! :-)

Thanks for posting the photos. Hope the swelling comes down soon. DH and i are both interested.

Oh wow, it sure is. That's encouraging.

Very encouraging.

Looking at this result, can they predict from here how many more you will need?

It takes six weeks to really see results. Originally she said two to three treatments. Some of that will depend on how happy I am with the results and if she thinks we can take it down more. I'm planning for three and hoping for two.

Thank you so much for sharing your Kybella journey with us!

I'd love to get a bit more definition around my jawline.

Thank you for sharing, kybella is something I am considering. Like you I have always had a double chin, although tiny otherwise. Will be nice to see if you are happy with your end result.

Will you continue to see improvement in the next 6 weeks?

Any new pics, spanish?

Oh hi! I've been on the east coast. It puffed up a bit on my flight home (I always puff on flights over three hours). I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Hi! Here's an updated pic. Most of the jiggly swelling is down. What's left is more hard. The area is still numb to the touch and sensitive at the same time. It doesn't like to be scrunched so I'm sleeping on a pile of pillows. No pain, just feels weird. Sorry about the lighting.

I've got a ways to go still. I see my endocrinologist for a regular appointment in a few weeks and I hope it goes down more before then. I don't want a lecture from him about injecting acid into my neck. ;) and yes, I did inquire about doing this with my thyroid.

I have a work-reward trip in late April so I won't be doing my second treatment until the last week of April rather then at the 6 week mark. That should give it plenty of time to go down.

I'll continue to share updates.

Checking in to see how this is working out for you, very curious.

Yes, please share an update.

I'll third that. I've thought about you several times since you posted and really appreciate your posting about this. Our son has thought about going this route for his chin problem as opposed to jaw surgery. He has a shorter lower jaw.

Sorry. I've been traveling five of the past six weeks for work (payback for staying home with a big chin).

I've had two treatments, the second was late April. It looks great, but I think I'm going to do a third. I'll get hubs to take pics tonight when he gets home.

Any update? Very curious now after 4 years if you felt like you had good results and whether was worth it.

I believe it’s lost some of the hype because of the post-procedure swelling etc. I read somewhere that as lyposuction for that area gets better, patients opt to spend a little more and get it done in one shot. I’m happy with the reaults I got, but could use another treatment- or to lose the 15lbs I’ve been trying to. Today I might have opted for lypo.
