I'm 12 days out and still have a jiggly, swollen neck.
Don't look for dramatic improvement until the 5th week or so! I'm 8 weeks post-treatment & my chin/neck area look amazing. It takes a while for all of those destroyed fat cells to be tea sorted by the body. Drink apple cider vinegar water to help your body digest the fat cells!

I had Kybella and in 55. I think patients should be told the recovery isn't that quick I never had pain but the swelling was embarrassing 2 weeks for me also because of age now the fat pocket is gone but now my skin is saggy . I wish I would have had a neck lift with lipo instead. Kybella is for younger gals I believe.
Yes! I'm 50 & had the same type of swelling. I'm 7 weeks post, & love my chin/neck. At day 21, I was sure it was working (earlier I had doubts!) by week 5 I started noticing dramatic change & today I feel Ike I won't even need a second treatment. I read the treated area will continue to improve for up to 3 months. I look younger than I did ten years ago!!!

Unfortunately yes it is ! I was disappointed with kybella I had 2 treatments and now my neck is saggy looking. I think it's crazy how they say no downtime because unless you don't care about looking like a bullfrog it's embarrassing !
So your neck is worse since treatment ??
Kybella does nothing for the neck only the fat under the chin but the area where the fat was dissolved is droopy it's because of age I wish I would have saved the $$ and had a lower face lift but my Dr. told me in the consult that 55 was his cutoff age for kybella so I knew going in I probably wouldn't get the results I wanted ! Sorry I get side tracked so the answer to your ?? is no my neck is the same but under the chin is loose and saggy !
I think it depends on your skin laxity. I'm 50 & my skin actually tightened up after my Kybella treatment. My neck & chin look amazing!
Really ? I asked my Dr. If Kybella would tighten my neck and he said no. Hmmm

Is this normal?

I'm post 8 days. I wish I took pictures from day 1, to tell if the swelling went down at all. Friend (those I show) say it's not as bad as I think. I feel like my grandmother who had a Gouda ???? I'm getting nervous it'll never go down!

A Goiter, lol. The neck is such a sensitive area, it will take time for the swelling to go down. Can't wait to see pictures a week or two from now!
Excuse my spelling. Lol
