Was treated with Kybella. There was no burning/pain w/ injection. Did it not work? There is significant swelling (Photo)

You don’t have to experience pain or burning for Kybella to work. Post injection swelling is very common. You have to give the swelling time to come down before deciding if Kybella helped or not .

No, lack of pain doesn't mean it won't work. Kybella take 1-3 treatments every 6 weeks.  Patient will develop swelling and possible bruising after each injection that may last a few days.  The benefit of Kybella is each treatment is quick and completed in the office. However, some patients need more than one treatment to get desired results. Hope this helps.

Lack of pain doesn't indicate you won't have good results. It will take several weeks for results with Kybella. Kybella also needs a combination approach and a series of treatments. For best results with Kybella, I recommend a combination approach with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is an alternative for contouring the chin, if you're a candidate. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
