    Question Double Chin final fix?

    So as a BBW Model I have this issue, but to be honest I've ALWAYS had a double chin I have no jaw line. Even when I was 120lbs in high school I'd hate pictures because unless I'm paying attention I have a double chin.
    There is this new stuff called Kybella that is a series of shots in your 'double chin' area of naturally occurring acid. Its supposed to actually kill fat cells in this area. It costs about 500$ a treatment but takes normally 3 treatments a month apart. I've never seriously considered any kind of treatment like this before but this is the ONE thing that has killed my self esteem my whole life. Now that I'm a Model I am 100% on board with this. I'd rather have it done once I lose weight I was recently diagnosed with PCOS so I'm finally getting the help I need to lose the weight. I'm also getting married and I would LOVE it if I knew my wedding photos would be just that much more perfect in my eyes.
    Just wonder what you girls think?
    I know its vain but a series of shots vs what used to be a really invasive procedure.
    Sign me right up.
    Thoughts?

    I talked to the Doctor that does my fillers about this. She is very hopeful about this product. She didn't have it yet but should have it by the time I go to have my fillers done again next month. I am going to have it done once she has it. I have always had extra fat there no matter how skinny I have been. I will let you know how it goes.

    I've been contemplating chin lipo. I may wait for this though!

    Ooh yes, I'd love to hear an update afterwards! I need this in my life cuz I pretty much have the same problem......a face that makes me look heavier than I actually am (a la Bridget from "The Girls Next Door").

    I've heard chin lipo does the trick as well. I know of a porn star who gets it done and she looks great. But for a quick tip which I believe was introduced to us by the 'queens in drag' use your contouring makeup to hide on camera while you wait.

    Look up youtube videos for specifics but it's basically just one of your darker shades(whatever you use when you contour your nose, cheek bones)brushing it on your double chin. It instantly slims your chin once you start blending and doing your foundation. If you try this method, let us know how it turns out with some before/after pics of your chin if you'd like so we could tell you if we see the difference or not. I've done it before and it worked for me. I also added a line to blend for cheekbones so that paired with no DC gave my face a visible jaw line, no DC, and a boost on my cheekbones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YoMC4d0MTQ

    I think the point with Kybella is that its not only supposed to be a forever fix but it is WAY less invasive than lipo under the chin.
    And as far as make up, I'm also a cosmetologist so I've been using that trick for years! But when I go for professional shoots like I do for Score's XLGirls there is no amount of make up that is really going to 'Fix' a double chip. 100 + Photos and a Video... *shivers*
    I would just LOVE to produce better content and I would MUCH rather have a series of shots verse someone cutting into my skin and vacuuming out the fat lol
    Thanks so much for the make up tips though!! It can go a looonnggg way for self shot sets and camming

    Okay......so I got curious and looked this up on realself.com.
    OMG
    The immediate "after" pictures people have posted on there are horrifying. Apparently one of the side effects is some major swelling that takes weeks to go away! It's like going from a double chin to a quadruple chin, oh my word...

    Yea it is, your right immediately after the treatment you swell up but it goes down and apparently goes down forever as long as you don't gain significant weight (50lbs or more) I can live like that for a couple weeks if the rest of my life its gone. All treatments like this have healing time.

    I would suggest Kybella or Mesotherapy.

    Has anyone done Kybella? I really want to get it done but if theres bad swelling for weeks I'm going to have to miss work so I keep putting it off. One girl on real self said her swelling only lasted a week and then she was fine but I don't want to risk having to miss more than a week of work.

    I'm doing Kybella, next Wednesday in NYC.
    The swelling is supposed to be a little crazy - or can be - its a case by case basis. I'll post before treatment, during swelling and after. Wish me luck xo

    I did Kybella. I iced my chin on and off for about 3 days. There was some light bruising and it was sore and red. The swelling went away after about 3-5 days. Do it!!

    Wait ok has anyone looked at Kybella reviews on Real Self? Everytime I do it scares me and makes me not want to do it! There's a lot of negative reviews of people saying they were so swollen for a long time and didn't see any change once it went down.

    And the lady at the medspa told me not to ice it after. Ugh idk but I really feel like I need it!

    But then again the reviews for micro needling were scary too and I had a great experience with that treatment. Maybe I shouldn't look at real self lol.

    No, I saw a big difference about a month after the treatment my chin was all sucked in, no more gobble! I was seriously swollen for 3 days and then it started to subside. My dr told me to ice it, the more you ice it, the less it will swell and it will go down faster.

    Someone asked me to post about my Kybella experience and I figured I could just add onto this thread.

    I did the first round a couple months ago and there was an improvement, but I felt like I needed some more done so I just did another round this past monday. It's Thursday now and I'm still swollen. Not like a bullfrog but its still not cute and is still numb and slightly painful if i push on it. I think last time I was swollen around 5 days or maybe up to a week.. but I thought the second time around should be less because theres less fat. Idk, but I'm hoping it goes down alot by tomorrow so I can work!

    Also.. don't do chin lipo! I had a surgeon's office try to push that on me but the nurse at the medspa told me she's seen so many patients who need neck lifts because of chin lipo. I think Kybella is a better option for a double chin unless you like have an extreme double chin or something. Just FYI!

    I haven't really been taking pics myself to monitor.. but they take pictures when I go to the medspa. So when the swelling is gone and I finally see results I can post them.

    Update on my Kybella..so I gained a few lbs (less than 5) and my fat chin is back! I did ultherapy today to try to tighten up the skin and if that does not work I may do another round of Kybella. Apparently, if it does kill the fat cells but whatever is left over can get bigger if you gain weight.
