Numbness after Kybella treatment is common and not to worry. There is usually much swelling after each Kybella treatment and the swelling and numbness will resolve spontaneously. The same numbness occurs following submental liposuction.
This numb sensation is typically resolved within 4-6 weeks, and is not considered a complication of Kybella and is very common. Give it some more time and upon further concern, see an expert. In order to enhance the results of Kybella I suggest adding thermage, ultherapy, exilis, and ThermiRF treatments to your post care regimen.
thankyou for your question.Numbness after Kybella is very normal and it can last upto 4 weeks . I have some patients that still feel sensitive after the 4 weeks. All very normal so nothing to be concerned about
Kybella (Deoxcholic Acid) is the first non-surgical, FDA approved injection to reduce submental fat. Some of the side-effects include bruising, swelling, redness and numbness. Side-Effect may last upwards of 4-6 weeks. I would advised you to follow up with your Expert injector if numbness does not subside.
Please go back to your injector for an exam to evaluate if this is just a superficial reaction in your skin or deeper. It is hard to determine by pictures what the cause is . Dr.Banta
Thank you for posting your photos. Your neck can be improved by removing some of the fat under the chin area. This can be done easily with KYBELLA injections. Kybella can cause some mild to moderate swelling and requires at least 2-3 treatments to see a dramatic difference and you need to wait...
Going into a steam room after Kybella injections won’t affect your results, but it could make you uncomfortable and increase the swelling. I’d stay away from extra heat until your swelling goes down. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will help you make your post-procedure care choices.
