I had Kybella done 7 weeks ago, still have 2 nodules. Is this normal?

Fat is dissolved by the kybella injections that we perform in our NYC practice. Inflammation is a normal necessary component in the body's response to get rid of the fat. Localized swelling in the shape of lumps and nodules can be felt more readily than seen, in some individuals.  Gentle massaging may help hasten the reduction in the size of the nodules, but they may persist for eight weeks or more.  If nodules are not decreasing in size or if they become painful, one should see their doctor.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.  The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs. 

Yes, lumps are pretty normal and these should not keep you from getting your next Kybella treatment. Kybella is a safe and effective medication that melts fat and requires 2 to 4 treatments for best results.

Thank you for your question. It is not abnormal to have some lumps after Kybella treatment. They will usually resolve with time but may take several weeks. I would recommend massage of the area and discussing it with your surgeon. With time it should resolve and I hope you are happy with the results!

Yes, this can be normal and they will typically resolve in several weeks after treatment. Keep in mind, with Kybella a combination approach would be best to get the most improvement. I recommend Kybella with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is an alternative for contouring the chin, if you're a candidate. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

This is normal occurrence and they should resolve within 8 weeks. If they do not resolve, have a follow up appointment with your provider. Good luck!

Thank you for
your question aaakhgfhc. Kybella is
the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for
the double chin. Hard lumps or nodules can form after a Kybella treatment and go away slowly on their own. This can take a few months. Patience is important. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

It is completely normal to have some lumps, bumps or "nodules" following your Kybella treatment. They should resolve within 6-8 weeks. If not, see your injector.

This is normal occurrence and they should resolve within 8 weeks. If they do not resolve, have a follow up appointment with your provider. Good luck! 

One of the side effects of Kybella is swelling and nodules at the treated area.  These nodules resolve in weeks and I would wait until the nodules resolve before receiving the next injection of Kybella.  Best, Dr. Green

Thank you for your question. The nodules are normal and will resolve on their own in a matter of weeks. Wish you all the best!Dr. Mentz
