My first round of kybella felt very different than my second. During the first treatment I ended up with a dark circular bruise right in the middle of my neck which lasted for a month. The second time around the lady was much more gentle and I could tell she was spreading out my injections. I had zero bruising. I also had zero results the first round. I'm about 4 weeks post second round with zero results as well
Answer: Bruising is normal after Kybella I'm sorry to see that you have concern about the bruising after Kybella, but bruising is very common after this procedure no matter how skilled the injector. Although your bruise is a little worse than most that I see, I do not think you should be alarmed that anything is going wrong. Apply ice and be patient. It should resolve on it's own over the next week. Best of luck, Dr. Giordano

Answer: Kybella injection for the fat below the chin Unfortunately, bruising is commonly with any injectable treatment including Kybella. I do agree that you have more bruising then I would normally expect but every patient is different in how they respond to the injections. In my experience, most patients required 2-3 treatment sessions with 2-3 vials per treatment session. It can take 4-6 weeks after your last treatment to see the end result. I would followup with your injector to discuss your concerns and to review your photos.

Answer: Bruising following Kybella Brusising is common with any injectable. Although yours looks worse than the norm, every patient is different. In terms of your results, it takes anywhere from 6-10 weeks. It's possible that you will need another treatment. It really depends on the amount of fat that needs to be dissolved. Have your injector show you your "before" photos. My guess is that there has been more improvement than you realize.

Answer: Bruising after Kybella Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos. Unfortunately, there is a risk of bruising with every cosmetic injection. Kybella often involves 20-40 individual injections in a single session, and so bruising is not uncommon after treatment. It's difficult to predict who will bruise, and where they will bruise with a treatment. That said, you appear to have a little more bruising than I usually see after Kybella. It may be worthwhile to follow-up with your injector to discuss your concerns - sometimes, lasers can be used to help bruises fade much faster.
