Thank you for your question in regards to Kybella. That is most likely bruising at the injection site which it totally normal. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.
Without examining you or seeing photos its difficult to give specific advice. If there is leftover grid on your neck it should come off with rubbing alcohol but if you have bruising or 'tattooing' it wouldn't. I'd suggest seeing your injector for a followup to be examined. Best of luck!
Thank you foryour question MKG6267. I understand your concern. Kybella is the first andthus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the doublechin. It is difficult to make an assessment without photographs. However bruises are possible with any injection. We treat bruises with a laser as early as the next day. Bruises normally resolve on their own in 1-2 weeks and with the laser it usually resolves in 1-3 day. A grid is used for the injections and colored spots are seen on the skin once the grid is placed. These marks can be removed with alcohol swabs. Pleaseconsult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
If they are from the grid used, they should wipe off with alcohol. If they're bruises, it may take a week or more to resolve. Kindly,Kouros Azar
The grid that is used is easily wiped off after the treatment with a little alcohol. This should not leave any residual marks on your neck. If you have tiny red dots, these are likely from the injection sites to place the Kybella in the tissues.
Thank you for your question. Pleasesubmit a photo so that I can see what you are talking about. The temporarytattoo grid used is removed easily and I can’t be certain it’s bruising unlessyou have a photo. Otherwise, please follow up with your doctor.
If you can post photos we can assess the dots from Kybella. The grid should easily remove by washing the area so it sounds more likely that it is a bruise. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
There is really no age restriction for Kybella. Candidacy for treatment is a more appropriate concern. Your physician can determine your candidacy by performing a physical assessment of the area in a consult.
Hi Chloe, it is perfectly safe to take Arnica after your procedure. Although it's used more for bruising purposes some say it can help with swelling as well and shouldn't have any kind of negative effect with your Kybella. Happy healing, Best. Dr. Emer
Thank you for your question. Botox will not help in this area. Good candidates for kybella have good skin tone and fullness in the sub mental region. You will need 3-5 treatments of kybella for good results. Each treatment usually requires 2 vials of kybella. Consult with a board certified pl...
Bleeding and bruising at the injection site only means that a vein was punctured with the needle. The issues you bring up with fillers are related to intra-arterial injections, not injections into a vein. Even if your Kybella injection at this one spot were into the vein, it is unlikely to cause...
Thank you for your question about Kybella.Kybella is used primarily for destroying fat. The skin tightening is secondary. If you lose all the weight, you may not need Kybella. However, you may need a neck lift to tighten the loose skin.To be sure what is best for you, see two or more e...
