Experienced immediate mandibular paralysis after Kybella. Should I be trusting this Dr to perform the second treatment?

Asked By:barneyjim92 in Wakefield, RI

Received first Kybella treatment yesterday, experienced immediate paralysis of mandibular nerve. During very start of procedure, tasted a strong metallic on underside of mouth exactly where she was injecting product. I told her immediately that I was tasting it. She stated the reasoning was because of it being a shallow fat area. She suggested Botox to even it out. Shoul I run far & fast from this Dr? Now drooling when I drink/eat & awful crooked smile, hoping no permanent nerve damage done.
