If I had the kybella treatment done on my neck to remove the unwanted fat will there be any black/blue bruises or marks visible, or swelling that will be very visible on my neck? If yes, how long will the bruises last for? If there will be swelling or visible bruises will that interfere with my chewing, eating, and dining out at restaurants? Let me know?
