It was painful and burning. I did not expect to be so red that I look like someone threw hot water under my chin though . I'm swollen, looks like I'm a bullfrog, but I'm very concerned about being so red.Will this ever go away ? I'm so regretting this right now. He only injected a small amount because I didn't have a lot of fat. It looks horrible and I'mScared to death I will stay this way!Any advice would be so welcome!Thanks in advance :)
Answer: Post injection redness Every patient heals at her own rate, but generally, the swelling, redness and pain resolve within about 2- 4 weeks. Hopefully, you will be on the shorter end of that healing cycle.

Answer: Kybella Swelling Thank you for your question. Your concern is quite common and during the consultative process you should have been made aware that you could have significant swelling, bruising, redness, numbness and pain. The swelling, bruising and pain usually resolve by the end of two weeks. Numbness can sometimes persist for months. Keep in mind it usually takes a series of 2 to 4 Kybella treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to achieve an acceptable result. As an alternative to Kybella, I often suggest the FaceTite procedure from InMode. It is a one time procedure that destroys the fat cells while tightening the skin. We combine this with Venus Legacy treatments to accelerate the healing process. I suggest you consult with your provider and let him know of your concerns. The good news is that your response correlates to cellular death of the fat cells in the treatment area.
