What Are the Side Effects of Kybella?

Kybella is an injectable treatment used to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. Here’s an overview of its side effects.

Common Side Effects

• Swelling: Mild to moderate swelling at the injection site is common and typically resolves within a few days. This is a normal reaction as the body responds to the treatment.

• Bruising: Bruising at the injection site is possible and can last up to a week. Applying ice packs can help reduce this.

• Numbness: Temporary numbness or tenderness in the treated area. This usually subsides as the area heals.

Less Common Side Effects

• Difficulty Swallowing: Rare but possible, usually resolving within a few days. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions and consult your practitioner if this occurs.

• Nerve Injury: Rare cases of nerve injury leading to an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness, which is usually temporary. Ensuring the procedure is performed by a qualified professional minimizes this risk.

Managing Side Effects

• Ice Packs: Applying ice packs can reduce swelling and bruising. Use as directed by your practitioner.

• Follow-Up: Regular follow-ups with your practitioner can address any concerns or complications. It’s important to report any unusual side effects immediately.
