The FDA disclosed bruising, swelling, redness, and hardness to be common side effects of a Kybella treatment. Will a person be able to go along with their day after injections like with botox or should they expect to need a few days at home?

Answer: What is the recovery after Kybella?? Ask Dr. Ellen... Great question! Kybella is a simple in office procedure that involves a series on injections to the submental area. The product that is injected is an acid that breaks down the fat cells permanently. During the injections it is common to feel a burning sensation, and this may last for several hours post treatment. I would recommend going home the day of the injections, and returning to work the next day. The area is typically tender to touch, and swollen for about 2 weeks. I recommend doing 3-4 treatments about 6 weeks apart for optimal results. In Good Health,Dr. Ellen Mahony

Answer: Kybella Recovery Kybella recovery is straightforward. There will be some swelling, numbness, and soreness. In some cases, the swelling can be significant. It is up to the patient whether they need to take off from work or school due to social reasons. Most patients go back to work the same or next day as long as they are okay with having some swelling that is visible. It can take several weeks for the swelling to fully resolve, but is much better within 3-4 days.Be sure to see an expert physician injector who specializes in facial aesthetic procedures for any cosmetic injections.All the best,

Answer: Kybella recovery Thank you for your question. Kybella is FDA approved for treatment of a "double chin". We inject Kybella, a synthetic version of naturally occurring deoxycholic acid, below the skin. It dissolves and removes the excess fat. As the fat is dissolved, an inflammatory response occurs and this can take 2-4 weeks to subside. There may be some bruising and redness for up to 1 week but these can easily be covered with makeup. Overall you can return to work immediately and most people would not notice that you have had the procedure. You’ll see some results after the first treatment, but to get the best results, we recommend two to five treatments.
