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: Swelling With Kybella? Most Swelling Dissipates in Days; Use Less Kybella There is some individual variability when it comes to any procedure, including removing a double chin with Kybella. However, I have not had a problem with my patients experiencing long-term swelling because I am careful not to administer too much Kybella in one session. I was involved in the initial trials of Kybella and noticed that large doses could create the “bullfrog effect” you referred to. I have patients control this swelling with ice and anti-histamines. I would contact your treating physician about the delayed onset swelling to see what may be accounting for this. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist who has proven good results with Kybella will give you the best results.

Answer: Swelling is normal for 1-2 weeks after kybella What you are describing is normal. Swelling can fluctuate after you have had kybella. But do not worry, the swelling will resolve. One thing that makes it easier to tolerate the swelling is that the fat reduction will be permanent!

Answer: Kybella Recovery Hi and thank you for your question! Swelling following Kybella treatment is common and some patients might experience delayed swelling although increased swelling a week later is not that common. Still if this is the only issue you are experiencing and the swelling is gradually improving, you can wait and watch. As always, a quick check and follow up with your provider is the best course of action. I hope it helps and good luck!

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.

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!
