Injected in the area of the jaw contours. My face is huge,completely numb and has traveled all the way up to almost my eyes. One side of my nose is numb as well. After doing investigating I found this is absolutely against FDA approval. What do I do what will happen to my face? I feel like I'm going to look like a skeleton due to it eating away all the fat on my face and my cheeks.
Answer: The aesthetician injected a vial of kybella on each side of my face and I found this is wrong, what do I do? You need to contact this person and review what has been done. Are you sure it was Kybella and not Sculptra? Contact the physician in charge and review your chart.Good luck, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Get the care you need. First keep in mind that often a single treatment with Kybella is pretty disappointing because it is hard to discern that it did much. Having said that "aestheticians" should not be injecting Kybella even in Texas. This would be the unauthorized practice of medicine. I would make a complaint with the appropriate licensing agencies. It might be appropriate to seek a criminal prosecution. There are also civil remedies available under the law but this is not the forum for that.

Answer: Kybella indications Kybella is currently FDA approved for treatment of submental or under the chin fat. Some physicians are using it off label to treat cellulite and liposuction contour issues. Temporary numbness and swelling is common after the treatment. That will go away with time but it might take 3 months or so.

Answer: Kybella vs lipo I personally would never use kybella this way but off label uses of kybella by an experienced injector can give good resutls.. if its been a few days or weeks its much too early to make a judgement on results or side effects

Answer: The aesthetician injected a vial of kybella on each side of my face and I found this is wrong, what do I do? Many medications have specific FDA approved uses but occasionally are used "off label". Typically your surgeon or your doctor will be discussing all approved and "off label" uses prior to your treatment and this discussion should be reflected in the patient's chart and applicable consents for treatment. There is wide variation from state to state regarding what treatments aestheticians, medical assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners or physician assistants can perform. In most states any such treatments provided by physician extenders should be under the direct or indirect supervision of the physician who supervises them. Variation also exists regarding what tasks the physician may delegate to appropriately trained physician extenders. Kybella dissolves fat cells and if injected close to nerves may dissolve parts of the nerve sheath (myelin sheath) which is mainly composed of glycolipids (fat molecules) and result to numbness and or/weakness depending what type of nerves are affected. Typically the nerve sheath will regenerate over a period of time with restoration of function. You should follow up with your doctor or the medical director of the clinic where you had your injections.
