Hi, i want to know what could restore my face. i had kybella in my double chin and my cheeks (i know, bad decision) now my face looks chubbier than before. I don't know what is the problem, my doctor said that it's probably a inflammatory reaction, but 3 month post treatment i doubt that it's inflammatory reaction. Could it be skin laxity? Now my cheeks are permanently swollen, but i dont think it's fat, feels more like jelly What could help me? maybe Skin tightening? Thanks
