I had Kybella injections on Friday evening and experienced significant swelling Saturday and Sunday. Today the swelling appears to be subsiding somewhat. The pain was not bothersome-I took nothing for pain. My Doctor and his staff were wonderful. I was given lidocaine before the procedure and felt nothing during the Kybella injections. The swollen area is jiggly like there is liquid in it. Feels like its working but I have managed expectations and do not expect complete results until I have undergone another session or more with Kybella. So far, I must say, its not that bad. The swelling it the worst part. I did have a little red bruising but nothing significant.

I hope you will post before and after pics if you are comfortable doing it. I have a very bad double chin which has increased with weight gain. I also had it when I was thin. It looks like a bullfrog from the side and can also be seen from the front now too. I"m afraid of more swelling to that area will make my skin loose...

I was concerned about loosening skin as well but I have discovered that many doctors/patients report some unintended skin tightening after Kybella. We shall see. I'm told it depends on skin elasticity too. I think everyone experiences a lot of swelling from kybella.

Please can you post before and after photo's maybe in a few weeks time? I am researching this procedure to decide whether to go for lipo or kybella.

Had it done Friday and Tuesday-Swelling is going down!

So this swelling doesn't last forever. Yippee!! Still very noticeable to me anyway. No pain to speak of but too swollen to see results yet. Fingers crossed.

Still swollen

veronica121October 26, 2015

Though the swelling has decreased a little every day or so, I still have a gobbler that I didn't have before. Hope it goes away soon. Numbness and pain not a bother but I still feel it, if I touch that area.

When did the swelling finally feel like it was mostly gone?
And... How did this turn out for you overall?
