I had my first treatment of kybella 6 days ago. My neck has been bruised and swollen but this morning the swelling increased. Also, the doctor who did the injections did not follow the grid pattern I have seen in some of the kybella videos. He randomly injected the kybella to the center of my neck only from the left side. Will the results be the same?

Answer: Swelling is normal after Kybella 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.

Answer: What to Expect After Kybella Treatments 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

Answer: Swelling after Kybella 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
