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

leenie624
I just did my first kybella treatment yesterday. I'm extremely swollen and would like to know approximately how long this lasts? I'm scared that I'll be stuck with this swelling forever! Has there ever been any cases where kybella actually made the patient worse? Please help I'm freaking out
