Kybella treatment on the neck / chin. Will there be any black/blue marks or bruises?

 Everybody reacts differently, but Kybella is injected under your skin and so will cause swelling and bruising that should resolve within a few days. To be safe, give yourself a week after your treatment before scheduling a major event like a date. After you see how you react to Kybella, you can modify your downtime for your next treatment. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will give you a better idea if you are a good candidate for Kybella.

Every patient reacts differently. There will definitely be some post injection bruising and swelling. For most, this will clear up in ten days to two weeks, but for others, it can take longer. Also, keep in mind that you will need at least 2 Kybella treatments scheduled about 6-8 week apart in order to get your desired results. It takes time, but it is extremely effective for the right patient. 

Dear Kelly.001:Swelling after the first Kybella is typically quite visible for two to three days. If you look closely, you can see it for about two weeks but generally after the first few days others don't see it.  With the second treatment, swelling is much less visible.Bruising is very rare, in my experience. Our protocol using potent arnica and bromelain with vigorous icing minimizes both bruising and swelling. If a patient were to experience bruising we would offer laser to quickly resolve the bruising, but have not had to do so as yet with any of the many patients I have treated.All the best,   Dr. Clark
