My 1st kybella treatment with 2 vials was 7 weeks ago. The reduction in swelling seems to have plateaued between weeks 3 and 7. Numbness is 95% gone. When I pinch the region, I think I'm feeling I slightly hardened mass. My amount of fat was on the mild side. Is this normal? I'm starting to fear that it will take several months to reach baseline without an improvement.

Answer: Post Kybella swelling Thank you for your question. I'm sorry you are still having some swelling after injection with Kybella. Without before and after photos, it would be difficult to assess exactly what happening with your injection site. However, in general, 6 weeks is the minimum amount of time that needs to pass before proceeding with a second treatment. While it isn't typical, it is certainly possible to still have some swelling after 7 weeks. I would discuss your concern with your board certified injector, and review before and after photos. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Answer: Every patient reacts differently on every single procedure; therefore, it is hard to tell without in person examination. Firstly, it is important to continue follow up with your provider until all side effects are gone and you are able to see end results. Every patient reacts differently on every single procedure; therefore, it is hard to tell without in person examination. It can be that you are fine and that it takes for you longer time to heal completely after Kybella injection. There are patients who heal within 4 weeks while others take around 10 weeks to heal completely. You should not continue with your treatments until you are healed. Your hardened mass can be product of swelling. It is hard to tell without photos. I advise you to have a follow up with your provider. Good luck!
