Had my 3d Kybella treatment on Friday. Woke up on Monday with lower lip dropping on the left side.

Asymmetry is noticeable when I smile with lips open, mouth wide open, and lip retraction. No asymmetry when I smile with lip closed or pucker lips. There is a new feeling of numbness radiating toward my cheek and ear areas. Did my treatment with a board-certified dermatologist who is highly respected in my community. She followed the grid and everything went smoothly. I called her and she said if doesn't resolve in 2 weeks to see her. I understand its a nerve damage. Is it permanent?
