Scar tissue from kybella? 3 treatments; first time I saw results, second & third possibly look worse after (Photos)

S21915
The first session (1 vial) I saw an improvement. 2nd didn't help. The third time (I believe 3 vials) not only did I not notice a difference, but I believe it May look worse. My surgeon suggested trying it again, a second surgeon said leave it alone, because perhaps I built up scar tissue from it & that is why it even appears to be fuller.. I do scar easily, from my breast aug I had gotten hypertrophic scarring.. Is this possible? Wouldn't want to go for a fourth treatment if I will look worse.
