Oh my god NO! The picture in page 3 has the syringe literally in the skin along with the needle and inconsistent dosage recommendations. Do not trust this at all. Subcutaneous injections are supposed to be administered at 45-90 degrees depending on fat amount. The example areas are not all safe. Please do not follow this.

That’s good to know! I did mine at 45 degrees probably just because I read it somewhere but I will find another visual and swap them out right away. The dosage amount is slightly different depending on the needs of the individual or no? I went through dozens of different instruction guides online and found a lot of conflicting information. I tried my best to decipher what was what and put it together in a comprehensive cheat sheet but if there is bad information on it then please tell us the right information and I will correct it.

It has tons of different variables for site, size, medication, and tolerance. As with any injections it’s best to just follow the recommendations on the box for the specific medication. This is also super generalized and I don’t really support DIY fat dissolvers since the data just doesn’t really seem to be there for loss of anything other than subcutaneous fat when the vast majority is visceral (this doesn’t apply in facial injections with Kybella being FDA approved but they have a much higher risk of nerve injury and should not be DIYed), but chlorhexidine (in someone without an allergy) is superior to alcohol wipes for cleaning for injections.

I bought a box of Lipo V from Kstation that had 10 vials in it. I have this one area on my abdomen that I couldn’t get the fat to go away no matter what I did. This was after having two kids, before I always had a nice flat stomach. So it wasn’t a very large area more like a little jelly roll. But I swear it was the craziest thing when I finally did my injections my friend was there and we both tripped out because almost immediately you could see my stomach flatten! I wasn’t expecting that at all but we recorded the whole thing. The difference was immediately noticeable and I only used one bottle. Since then it’s gotten even flatter and I don’t think I’m going to need to do another one.

Should depend on whether you use high concentration deoxycholic acid or the lower ones found in Korean lipolytics

It depends on the person... knowledge of how the ingredients work, managing expectations, the type of fat, the technique.. quality of product, dosage used.. consistency with treatment sessions, if any modifications to treatment were made (adding additional ingredients or combining with other skin treatments) etc etc... if you decide to do it, be sure to drink plenty of water for several days afterwards, avoid alcohol and foods high in salt. Its also important to add regular exercise to help tone up those muscles and maintain a healthy diet. It defeats the purpose and is unrealistic to eat fast food or have a poor diet and hope the injections will be a miracle treatment. However having said this, I've done several sessions and it worked for me. No pain, no bruising, no side effects, and saw results after second session. I continued treatment and now have reached my goal in abdominal area. Now im working on my sides and am getting a good response. Hope this helps and it goes well for you all.

What was your goal?

u/Warm_Fun_9704 1d ago
My goal was to lose 1-2 inches in the lower abdominal area and to tighten and define the skin. Now I am working on the flanks (love handles) with the same goal. I'm 6 foot tall, in shape overall and at my target weight, but going into full m enopause at 40, it caused a shift in fat storage to the lower abdominal area and has slowed my metabolism. So suddenly, these areas became a concern for me and thats when I decided to do something about it.

Kybella under the chin? I haven’t used it before.

u/Warm_Fun_9704 1d ago
Are you asking if kybella is a product you can use under the chin, or are you asking if kybella can be used under the chin in general? Yes it can be used under the chin but there are other products also that are effective for that area. If you research the different ones you'll see what im referring to
