You Won’t Believe the Shocking Before-and-After Photos of This Woman’s Kybella Transformation and Unbelievable Recovery Journey
“It works best for people with a double chin but not loose skin,” he clarified. “Patients with loose skin may be better suited for a neck lift or facelift.”
The plastic surgeon also noted patients should expect significant swelling.
“Kybella works by disruption of the fat cells leading to absorption by the body. This can lead to extreme temporary swelling – which is actually a good sign that it is working.
“Kybella generally takes 2 to 4 treatments spread out monthly. Each subsequent treatment usually has less swelling as there is less fat left to digest.”

According to the expert, most people need two to four treatments to see results, as “one treatment is rarely enough, and patients may not see a difference until after the second treatment.”
Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian, a double board-certified plastic surgeon at Kare Plastic Surgery and Skin Health Clinic in Los Angeles, said he “rarely” uses Kybella, explaining that “there is a notable risk of persistent swelling that undermines our ability to suggest the treatment as a quick, non-invasive lunchtime procedure.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Patrick Treacy, a dermatologist and cosmetic medicine specialist at Ailesbury Clinic, noted that Morgan’s experience of three weeks of swelling is “rather unusual in duration” but “aligns with clinical observations.”
Still, the Dublin-based dermatologist prefers Lipodissolve, an alternative fat-dissolving injection not FDA-approved in the United States. Dr. Treacy said it can achieve comparable or superior fat reduction in a single session and is more affordable than Kybella, adding that he finds Kybella’s approval process and its pricing “less justifiable” than Lipodissolve.
“While I favor Lipodissolve, Kybella remains a valid option under appropriate medical supervision, especially for patients in the US where it is widely available,” he concluded.

The FDA has only evaluated Kybella for use under the chin, and it is not approved or recommended for use in any other areas of the body. But Morgan said she was satisfied after using the product to target the “stubborn fat” in her underarm area, which made her feel more confident wearing tops with spaghetti straps.
Because off-label uses of Kybella have not been evaluated for safety and effectiveness, Dr. Li said outcomes “may vary, including no improvement of the treated area, and unexpected side effects may develop.”

Dr. Schafer said the treatment should not be used near nerves and is not good for large areas. It is also not a substitute for liposuction, but “sometimes can be used after liposuction if there are any lumps or slight asymmetry as a quick fix,” he added.
If you have received or are considering receiving these injections, the FDA recommends informing your regular health care provider. It also warns against purchasing fat-dissolving products online and attempting to inject them yourself.
