Thank you for your question regarding Kybella. The results you are experiencing are normal for the Kybella procedure. You can expect to have swelling for 4-6 weeks following your treatment. You will typically be the most swollen for the first three days after your first treatment. I hope this helps.
This is a totally normal and expected occurrence after Kybella and it means that it's working. I'm sorry your provider didn't inform you about it. The bullfrog swelling can last for about 5 days and sometimes unto 2 weeks. It's all a sign that it's working. Good luck. Best, Dr.Avaliani
Every patient in my NYC demonstrates what I call the "Jello"TM. jiggle after Kybella injections. This is normal. As the fat cells get dissolved, the triglycerides create inflammation and that's how the body destroys the fat cells. Inflammation causes temporary fluid retention which causes the jiggle. Usually this is gone by two weeks but some slight swelling is common for four weeks or even moreThe information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.

The sensation of fullness and jiggling under the chin after Kybella definitely occurs in some patients. Over the next week this will resolve. It won't be permanent. Thanks for sharing.
In my experience, those that swell more tend to have better results as the fat in the under-the-chin area "melts" away more aggressively. So as you're looking at your "jiggle" try to remember that point. If you're extremely concerned, it's a good idea to reach out to your injector. Swelling is a completely normal part of the process and it is true that some people swell tremendously. Perhaps continued icing and an anti-inflammatory like Celebrex might be useful.
It is normal to experience swelling and bruising after Kybella injection that people usually describe as jiggle and jello. This will be gone within 1 to 2 weeks. If it doesn’t resolve, contact your provider for follow up. Good luck!
Thank you foryour question abbeypad. Kybella isthe first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment forthe double chin. Swelling is completely normal for the first 1-2 weeks after a Kybella treatment. Many people describe it as a pelican or bullfrog look. Some people wear a turtleneck or scarf to cover it. Pleaseconsult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
It is completely normal to experience some bruising and swelling following your Kybella. Although it may feel like a "jiggle", it's actually swelling. Give it time to resolve. You should see a difference in 6-8 weeks. If its not enough then you will need another session.
Swelling post injections can be quite dramatic in the first 24-72 hours. It is actually a great sign that the Kybella is working. The major swelling should start to go done after 3-7 days but some smaller residual swelling my last for even a few weeks after. Ice can help with discomfort.
Prednisolone created condition in human body to gain fat cells. I would advise you not to undergo Kybella treatment.
It should not be the case with Kybella injection that exercise may alter results, still I advise you not to work out until your swelling goes down. If swelling and bruising is present, I advise you to take care of yourself and ease on daily activities. Good luck
Kybella is an acid made in our body, stored in gallbladder and released into stomach when we consume fatty foods. We already have it and there are no studies showing it causes cancer. You can definitely have Kybella with one Kidney as long as you are a candidate, Best, Dr.Avaliani
