I got Kybella (10 injections) under my chin last week and its still noticeably swollen and I really don't like this look! How long until this bullfrog look will go away? Will it ever go away?
Answer: Swellin after Kybella We have found in our practice that the worst swelling is over by the 3rd to 4th day but patients still have swelling that they notice ( but typically not others) for up to 3-4 weeks as the Kybella goes to work on the fat cells. By the 3rd -4th week our patients our typically back to "where they started" and then notice a significant shrinking for the next 3 months. My patients report that the swelling is not as significant with the later treatments and seems to resolve faster. So hang in there- its going to get better!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Swelling Yes, the swelling will resolve. It typically takes about 2 weeks for the majority of the swelling to resolve but it can take longer. It really depends on how your body heals and how much fat was present. The swelling is actually a sign that the Kybella is working.

Answer: Swelling... The swelling is not permanent. In my experience, the patients who are more swollen tend to get better results because more fat cells are lysing and the medication is working better. It is normal to have a little tenderness, but if you're in pain you should contact your injector. Swelling goes away by 2 to 3 weeks and you should not be massaging which could actually worsen the swelling.Please “Follow” me on Realself.
