Hi I had Kybella injected yesterday and immediately after the injection I felt a tense pull under my left and right side of my chin and the left side tendon in my neck was so tense that I could not smile on my left side. It got better after a couple hours but my smile on my left hand side is very lifted and when I talk with expression my mouth is crooked and I feel tension down my left side of neck pronouncing some words. How long will this last and will taking inflammatory medication help?
