Hi had one Kybella treatment 6 months ago and I still have bald patches in the treated area. Part of the treated area I don't shave so I'm upset about it. The doctor didn't tell me this could be a possibility. I read that it is a rare side affect and the hair is suppose to grow back in 4-6 months. I'm already past the 6 month mark. Is it possible the doctor did not administer the injections properly causing permanent hair loss?
