We were all so excited to get Kybella a few years ago. Now I have a drawer full of it that I won't use on any patients because I'm afraid it will ruin my reputation. Sorry for your experience.
I have performed chin liposuction on many patients who were disappointed with their Kybella injections (performed elsewhere). I think it's your best chance for a nice outcome. In my hands, I like to use laser energy (Smartlipo) to help break down some of the scar tissue that the Kybella creates. I find it makes the liposuction more efficient.
Good Luck!
I perform Cheek Liposuction in my Manhattan office several times each week and find it to be quite safe and very effective. In fact, I use it because of my frustration with the subtle outcomes I've gotten using buccal fat removal alone. For my patients with truly chubby cheeks I sometimes do both procedures. Combined with chin and neck liposuction, we can create a very elegant facial structure. I invite you to check out my blog (attached).
Good Luck!
This lower lip problem may be due to an injury to the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve, BUT these types of problems are almost always temporary when caused by liposuction. Give it some time and I have some confidence there will be a full recovery - within 6 weeks. The injury is sometimes described as a "bruise on the nerve". It is likely to take some time, but I trust you will be fine. I would LOVE to see a follow up report in a month or so.
Hang in there!
