Will the lump after Kybella go away? (Photo)

The initial swelling after Kybella lasts 3-5 days and can be quite significant.  However, persistent hardness and nodularity can be present for several weeks after treatment depending on the amount of fat and the amount of kybella injected.  Persistent nodules can be injected with steroid solution and treated with anti-inflammatory medications.   Best advice is to contact the physician who injected it and return to be evaluated.  Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. Any residual swelling following Kybella injections will often take several weeks to fully dissipate.(4-6 on average) The process of Kybella’s acidic properties is to destroy the fat cells. Lumpiness can be common as the swelling begins to go down. It should resolve in time. However if the lumpiness does not decrease in size, discuss it with your provider.

Your neck looks typicl after Kybella. he swellign and redness will subside. I generally recommend massage but you should check in with your own doc.

Thank you for your picture and questions. I am not sure how long ago you had the procedure. It often takes 6-8 weeks for the swelling to go away completely, so try to be patient. Without pre-procedure photos, it is hard to say if you were a good candidate or what kind of result you should expect. If the area is warm and tender, then you need to be seen to make sure there is not an infection.Best of luck!

The FDA approved indication is for fat deposits smaller than the one featured in your photo.  You and your physician may choose to do an off label treatment.  However, it is very likely that you will need larger quantities of Kybella and many services.  That starts to be a very expensive and unsatisfactory why of improving neck and chin fat.  It would be unrealistic to expect much of an improvement even with 5 or 6 Kybella services.  You might want to reconsider this approach to actual liposuction.

Dear BingoG54,based on your photo, your lump doesn't look normal to me. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon. Regarding the Kybella, Kybella typically takes 3 to 5 treatments to work. This is why I've stopped carrying Kybella in my office.  I recommend neck liposuction more often then any injectable procedure for the neck now. It provides superior results gives me more control over the area than any injectable. The liposuction can be done under local while awake in the office and recovery is about the same as kybella.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Once swelling goes away you should not have a lump. It's best you see your Dr to make sure you haven't developed an infection.

Hello,I am not sure but I see some pinkish/ red area of skin. I recommend you to seek medical opinion asap.It may be inflammation or even infection.Aside from that, I am not sure if Kybella would be a good choice for you when you have jowels involved too. Look into Tumescent Liposuction as a possible method of treatment.All the Best -- Dr Ray
