Is it possible that the swelling from Kybella can actually stay forever and make your chin worse than before you did it ?

Thank you for your question. Swelling, redness and bruising are minor side effects that subside within a few days. Your post-procedural experience is very common. Please remain patient and follow your surgeon's recovery instructions diligently. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Best wishes,

Your physician should have pre-warned you. The bullfrog neck swelling is expected and normal. It can be disconcerting if you didn't expect it. Swelling subsides - along with any bruising - over a week or a bit longer. Drink lots of water and treat your neck tenderly. 

Swelling can lead to scarring so it is possible to get a "worse" outcome from kybella theoretically I have just never seen it.  RF treatments, ultrasound and massage all should be used post kybella to reduce swelling.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I have never seen a patient where swelling from Kybella did not go away.  It is normal to have swelling after the treatment and for some people this can last a few days but for others a week or so.  Sometimes, a compression garment can be used on the neck to help reduce some of the swelling.  

Thank you for
your question leenie. Kybella is
the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for
the double chin. Swelling is normal for the first 1-2 weeks after a Kybella treatment. Patience is important. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
