Kybella and nerve damage. Day one and my smile is really off on right side.

Asked By:britterfritters in Salt Lake City, UT

I had Kybella injected under my chin by a licensed nurse. I noticed on the right side my muscle near my mouth feels weak and my smile is very off. It's only been day 1 and the nurse told me this can be normal. Because it's not having the same effect on the left side of my face. when I smile the tendon or muscle on the ride side of my neck seems like it bulges out. It almost feels like when you go to the dentist and they hit your nerve with lidocain and you can't feel that side of your face.
