My concerns are: 1) was the kybella injected too high on the side of my jaw? It was 1 full vial. I dont want to have a drastic change or look like I had buccal fat removal since i only wanted have a sharper jaw/under chin. 2) do i risk a slight chance of permanent damage with my crooked lower face?
Answer: Kybella The marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve appears to have been affected by the Kybella. This is almost certainly temporary and will improve on its own with time. You may want to consider having your doctor inject some botulinum to the opposite side to even things out while you wait for the nerve to recover.

Answer: Kybella concerns : 11days post first treatment. 4 vials injected. Advice? Kybella was approved strictly for submental fat reduction, what is called double chin. It wasn’t approved for fat reduction above the jaw line. Your crooked flower face should resolve in a couple of months.

Answer: Kybella Concerns--add thermage, ultherapy, exilis, VASER, ThermiRF I recommend following up with your Doctor. It appears the nerve may be impaired, but this is most likely temporary. It will take several weeks for final results with Kybella. A combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with non-invasive options like Kybella. I recommend Kybella with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is a great alternative for contouring the chin, if you're a candidate and can be performed at the same time as a neck lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Kybella should not be injected along the jaw line. This is precisely how you are marked. Unfortunately Kybella causes a lot of inflammation and it is well described to cause a motor nerve injury. Your photo demonstrates a marginal mandibular branch injury. The good news is that these generally recover. The bad news is that they don't all recover. Kybella is a big bummer of a treatment. I think that as a service, it is headed for the trash heap of history. I would not recommend doing this service again. Do more homework about services. When you see a lot of negative information about a service, pay attention. Generally it can take a couple of months for the nerve to recover. If it does not recover in 6 months, it is not likely to recover. Your treatment was not in an FDA approved area and foreseeable could cause the injury that you are experiencing. Please consider reporting this individual to the Calfornia Medical Board to protect others from this type of misadventure.

Answer: Kybella - the right and wrong way to use it Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a substance that targets fat. Unfortunately, all cells have fat in their cell walls, so it is not specific for "fat" as you know it. Kybella can injure nerves, muscles, and even skin if not injected properly. Kybella should never be injected within 2 cm of the mandible, in order to avoid causing a marginal nerve weakness. It appears that you have this on the left side. While recovery may occur, it is not certain. You should receive nerve stimulation therapy to try and recover function quicker and have botox placed on the opposite side, which was become overactive due to the left sided weakness. Kybella should never be injected into the face above the jawline.For patients with more global facial volume, liposuction is a much better and much safer choice. You should go back to your injector and seek nerve stimulation therapy.
