I had kybella injections on Friday July 7th so I'm nine days out. It seemed that the bull frog neck was shrinking but today I woke up to more swelling. Is this normal? I've read all the posts on here and haven't encountered this question.

Answer: Post Kybella swelling I'm sorry you've seen swelling after you thought it was over, but occasionally we have patients who experience that as well, but not all. Sometimes it cycles like that off and on, but after 2-3 weeks at most that shouldn't be a problem, at least until the next treatment, and most patients have less swelling as they progress through the treatments. I hope you have great results. Dr G

Answer: Swelling after Kybella I am sorry you are having so much swelling. We find that this component of Kybella is variable from patient to patient, so that some barely swell for a few days and others report significant swelling for up to two weeks. I think this is probably normal for you, but would give your provider a call if you are having any other symptoms, such as pain or facial asymmetry, or if it continues to increase. We have seen very nice results with Kybella in appropriate patients. There is typically less swelling with the 2nd and 3rd treatments. We do recommend seeing a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon for treatment, as they can assess your eligibility as a good candidate as opposed to needing surgical treatments. Good luck!
