Swelling has increased 6 days after kybella injection. Will my results be the same? (Photo)

Swelling as you describe is probably perfectly normal. The key is to follow up as directed by your injector. Bruising, swelling and mild discomfort can be expected following your treatment. These issues should resolve within 72 hours.  We suggest ice and avoiding over-the-counter supplements such as green tea and Omega 3s and the use of aspirin products.#Kybellaexpectations   #Kybellaswelling  #Kybellabruising

There is temporary swelling and risk of bruising with Kybella injection. Generally, the swelling in patients is unnoticeable within a couple of days. However, there are some cases where swelling may actually increase during that time. Your final results will not be affected by the amount of swelling. But, if this keeps getting any worse and is associated with pain, then you should consult with your physician. 

Swelling is to be expected after Kybella, and it can take many weeks to fully resolve. While I cannot speak for any specific injector or procedure, swelling can fluctuate and should slowly improve over time for most patients. Bruising, numbness, and soreness are all common as well. All the best,

The swelling that you describe is very normal.  Wait for several weeks and then judge your results.  I suspect that your injector "eyeballed" where he wanted to inject, and the pattern may not have been as random as it felt to you.

Kybella is a new injectable
approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate to severe fat under the chin;
double chin.  Allergan makes recommendations on the injection protocol, however, a skilled provider might inject without the use of the templated grid . The subcutaneous fat is directed injected and amounts of Kybella is "feathered" to prevent a noticable difference on either side of the targeted area. Swelling and bruising can me minimized with ice, Ibuprofen and a chin strap for compression immediately after treatment.#Kybellasideffects   #Kybellatreatsfat    #Kybellafatdestruction

I tell my patients to expect swelling and jiggling for 2-4 weeks. Numbness lasts about 6 weeks. And then there are lumps and bumps for up to 8 weeks as well. Swelling does not fully resolve for a few months so i don't re-inject for a few months.My best,Dr. Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram

This is the major downside of Kybella.  It is the injectable with a real downtime.  It's advantage is that it is nonsurgical, but the discomfort and swelling are consistent.  Best to seek reassurance from your Doctor.

You should be absolutely fine. Swelling and bruising is normal after Kybella injections.The grid is a guide and with experience its possible to treat without it. If you're doctor has lots of experience he may be able to treat that way, but if he didn't have lots of experience, I suggest you find another practitioner to treat your next kybella. I hope this was helpful.

Swelling is a very common side effect following treatment with Kybella, and is actually a positive sign because inflammation (swelling) is part of what leads to a good result.  Most of the time, swelling lasts about a week, but it's not uncommon for it to last an entire month following injection of Kybella.  The swelling may be accompanied by tingling, numbness, and even a feeling of difficulty swallowing, but is always temporary. There is generally less swelling following subsequent Kybella treatment sessions.  For swelling that is increasing 6 days after treatment, it would be a good idea to schedule a follow-up evaluation with your treating physician to rule out an infection or other cause of increased swelling.

Thank you for your question.  It is difficult to say without knowing exactly what was done.  May physicians who do multiple procedures no longer need the markings to design the treatment regimen.  I train other physicians in our area to use Kybella, and I do customize the treatment for every patient and don't always follow the basic training regimen for each patient.
