I had my first Kybella treatment 16 weeks ago to my jawline/neck area, no problems but the normal swelling etc Yesterday I had a 2nd round - injected to the area on jaw at the end of my mouth Since then, normal swelling, but I am unable to whistle, rinse w wash, form the letter f or o, q or u without distorting my face. Like a stroke victim Is this normal, temporary, will it go once the swelling goes, is there anything I can do to aid my recovery and get back to normal. Should I be alarmed?
