Asked By:jsleander73 in Leander, TX

I received kybella just over 7 weeks ago....most of the sensation has returned to my chin, but theres a small portion at the very front that still tingles...almost itches deep inside. To the point where I have to put pressure on it to relieve it. Theres also some slight redness and irritation in that spot and well. Not sure if this is common, especially over 7 weeks out. Does this mean its working still...or should I go to the doc? Thank u!!
