The paralysis should wear off with time as the nerve begins to regain it's function. This should take a few months, but won't be permanent. you can try RF treatments like venus legacy and exilis ultra with steroids and neurontin to speed up the healing. LED may also help. Best, Dr. Emer
unfortunately it will just take time for things to come back. You can speak to your doctor about using a little botox on the opposite side to help with symmetry.
Thank you for your question. The good news, I am not aware of any cases of permanent nerve damage from Kybella. All the cases reported have been temporary. There is probably no definitive way to improve nerve healing. However, I would recomend dally exercises of attemtping to purse your lips as if trying to give a kiss. This will get any part of the muscle that is still working to help recruit the remainder of the muscle that is affected. Good luck.
Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your mandibular nerve issue. Unfortunately the best course of treatment is simply allowing enough time to pass so that the nerve regains its function. In the initial studies with Kybella, paralysis was never permenant, but took up to 4 months to overcome. Best wishes.
Thank you foryour question moserglea. Kybella isthe first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment forthe double chin. If the product spreads to the nearby marginal mandibular nerve it can lead to a temporary asymmetric smile. In the pivotal studies the median duration of this side effect was approximately 6 weeks and it resolves on its own. Pleaseconsult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
Thank you for your question. The paralysis of the nerve is not permanent. It can take up to 4 months to regain its function. Best of Luck!
One of the many reasons that I always recommend that patients see a board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist with a lot of experience is so something like this won't happy. Thankfully, the paralysis should not be permanent, but it may take up to a month to resolve. So sorry that you are experiencing this.Kindly,Kouros Azar
One of the side effects of Kybella is potential mandibular nerve paralysis if the injections are made too high. It is not a permanent side effect but can last for over a month until it resolves. That is why it is so important to consult a board certified dermatologist who is an expert in Kybella and other cosmetic injections. Best, Dr. Green
Hello moserglea,Thank you for sharing your question. I am sorry to hear you are having these difficulties post Kybella. Our best information tells us that when there is nerve injury after Kybella injections the median time to resolution was about 44 days. We also know the injury is NOT permanent and will resolve all by itself. Tincture of time is all you need. Be well.
Its hard to make a one shot statement that kybella will remove 20% of fat for example. It will react differently in different people. Some people get better results than others. Results in all are permanent. Who will respond best is hard to predict but if the patient is selected well (actually...
Thank you for your question and photos! I am not entirely sure which photos are before and after (one photo is not labeled), but if you do not feel like you have seen a difference after 3 treatments I would hold off on a 4th Kybella treatment for now. I am not sure how long ago your last t...
Thank you for your question Ageless Louise. Kybella is the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double chin. Kybella is not known to lead to fat formation in areas that are untreated. It is important to measure a person's weight before each treatment as...
