00:00I was not aware that I was self-conscious of my chin until it started drooping.
00:07My name is Angela, and today I'm getting Kybella injections.
00:10Two years ago, I experienced some trauma in my life.
00:13I lost a loved one, I moved to cross-country, the list goes on.
00:16Experiencing all that in one month's time really took a toll on my body.
00:21And I think that now I'm on the other end of it two years later,
00:24and I can see that that had a direct impact on the way that my face looks.
00:29Particularly around the chin.
00:31It almost kind of feels like for the last two years, I haven't even looked in a mirror.
00:36If there's a change that I could make today that maybe is a little quick fix, I would do that.
00:43Otherwise, I will literally be stuck here doing these next exercises for I don't know how long.
00:50It's not going to work.
00:52I'm going to ice you a little bit just so that I can numb you and not have you feel
00:55it.
00:56This is not normally part of the procedure.
00:58I am fortunate enough to go see the world-renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Liotta.
01:05She is a boss queen.
01:07I'm Dr. Dara Liotta, and I'm a facial plastic surgeon on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
01:13Kybella kind of fills a little niche that we didn't have a good answer for before.
01:17It is an in-office, non-invasive treatment that can be done in 10 minutes using a needle and an
01:23injection.
01:23Even though it's a non-invasive procedure, the results of Kybella are permanent, which is another great thing about it.
01:30Kybella is deoxycholic acid, which is very similar to the acid that your body releases to break up fat.
01:37I don't know anybody that has ever had this treatment done.
01:41Is this real or is this hokup?
01:45Dr. Liotta!
01:48Help a girl out!
01:50It's feeling really exposed at the moment.
02:04Kybella will pop those fat cells, and once the fat cells have been lysed and removed by your body, you
02:11don't grow new fat cells in the area.
02:13So whatever results you get from one treatment of Kybella, two treatments, four treatments of Kybella, it's all permanent.
02:33Each treatment is very specialized and customized to the patient.
02:39I am not afraid of needles, really.
02:47This area under here feels like it might be sensitive.
02:52Daddy, you're brave.
02:54You're not even going to feel it because you're numb.
03:19You okay?
03:20Pain or no?
03:21Mm-mm.
03:22Awesome job.
03:23Will you be pinching all of them?
03:26Um, I can try not to.
03:28Don't screw up my Kybella tree.
03:30If you are, then I'll move.
03:49Oh, I can feel that burning.
03:50Oh, yes.
03:51Yeah.
03:52Are you okay?
03:53Yeah, no, I'm fine.
03:53It'll come.
03:54It'll be better and better.
03:55Oh, and then I'll have to get some more.
04:01Just let's get that.
04:07Do it.
04:08Oh, my God.
04:17What do you do?
04:17Oh, my God.
04:19Oh, my God.
04:24No, my God.
04:24Oh, my God.
04:24Oh, my God.
04:25that's it no way cool it's been eight weeks since I had the treatment the
04:36treatment itself lasted just a few minutes it's very very very quick I
04:41didn't find it more painful than just like a pinch with some soreness um just
04:46like any other shot ooh this color combo when I first did it the swelling was
04:52lasting a really really long time it looked like I swallowed a potato I thought
04:56is this gonna be forever am I never gonna see the results of this treatment
05:00but then after six weeks it started to the swelling started to go down the fluid
05:05started to go I don't know where wherever the fluid goes then I started to
05:08see a noticeable difference in my jawline which was awesome oh yes I think that I
05:18would definitely do another treatment just to see this if I can see a really
05:22noticeable difference in it
