2 Kybella treatments 3 months ago: now I have a lump under my chin that won't go away.

Question

It has been there for three months, is that normal? I am very worried about this.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question! Lumps or nodules after Kybella treatment are normal and are related to the inflammatory response that develops as your body eliminates your fat cells following Kybella treatment. Sometimes, these lumps or nodules can last several months. Personally, I have had a patient that had a nodule that persisted for 4 months before resolving on its own. I have never seen permanent lumps following Kybella treatment. If you are concerned, I recommend following up with the practitioner that performed your Kybella treatment.I hope this answer is helpful! Best of luck.

I don't think 3 months out you should have a lump in normal situations.  You need an exam to make sure it is not a reaction to the injections, a lymph node from the irritation, etc.  Good luck.
