Hi, just had few treatment of Kybella for double chin an later on the cheeks. After only 2 treatment my double chin disappeared so i decided to try the product on my cheeks. after 2 month cheeks are still looks swollen. Meanwhile the subnasal folds are more evident my doctor injected the product on the inner part of my face (subnasal fold) instead of the outer part (my cheeks) is this the reason? Could it be SKin laxity? fat necrosis? I'm looking for a surgery to restore my face. Thanks, Andy
