7 weeks post injection, swelling hasn't returned to baseline. Is this normal?

Asked By:mrbrie in Los Angeles, CA

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: Every patient reacts differently on every single procedure; therefore, it is hard to tell without in person examination.
