is it true that Kybella is an acid that destroys any cell membrane it comes into contact with? What happens if the injections are not done properly?
Answer: Risks of improper Kybella injection The biggest risk of Kybella injection in the neck/submental area is nerve injury. Although rare, when injected out of a specific targeted and designated zone, Kybella could cause nerve injury, particularly to the nerve that controls the corner of the mouth. This is thought to be temporary, but could possibly lead to a permanent deficit. There are other risks such as infection, lumpiness, numbness, etc. I have performed Kybella injections many times and think that it is overall a very safe treatment when performed properly.Be sure to see an expert physician injector.All the best,

Answer: Risks with Kybella not always minor Hello,Very good question. Just because a treatment or product is new does not necessarily mean it replaces other options - example liposuction. Also, there are always risks vs benefits that must be evaluated by the patient and practitioner. Comments by the panel members refer to potential negative and adverse side effects as minor. However, we do not consider nerve damage, textural changes, and crooked smiles as minor. The product information supplied by the manufacturer offers more detailed information. In summary, there are always potential risks that must be weighed against expected benefits. Besides product safety, the expertise of the one performing the treatment is equally important.

Answer: Kybella risks, improper injection? Thank you for your question! Minor risks can often times depend on the injection technique and experience level of your chosen provider. Physicians are likely well trained on using the product prior to receiving it and using it in their practice. It is important to seek an experienced and licensed physician, plastic surgeon or dermatologist that understands the facial anatomy to avoid technique risks. Some of the most common risks from an improper injection have to do with nerve damage in and around the jaw muscles. This type of damage causes a temporary and crooked smile. This is not permanent but can last about 4-6 weeks. If caught soon enough it can even be adjusted. The other risk may be mild bruising or small ulceration's in the skin due to improper injection techniques. Keep in mind that some patients may experience mild bruising even if they were properly injected, this is different for everyone. The Kybella injection procedure is quite safe and easy to work with as long as you are an experienced injector who understands the facial anatomy.

Answer: Kybella risks Hello, risks include asymmetry, lumpiness, swelling and nerve injury. The marginal mandibular nerve runs in an area of the jawline. This area should be avoided with kybella injections. If the nerve is affected it is usually temporary and will result in uneven smile. Please go to an experienced kybella provider to minimize your risks. Thank you.
