Kybella’s safety and effectiveness were firmly established in multiple large studies involving over 1,000 patients. Those who received Kybella saw more frequent reductions in fat and an improvement in the appearance of the jawline. In fact, 79 percent of people treated with Kybella were satisfied with the appearance of their chin and neck following the procedure. Patients reported feeling younger and happier and shedding feelings of embarrassment or self-consciousness. Kybella is an FDA-approved treatment that is proven to work safely.
There could be rare side effects from Kybella, including a nerve injury in the jaw that could cause difficulty swallowing or muscle weakness. However, the more common side effects are generally temporary and include swelling, bruising, numbness, redness or pain in the injection site. Only small amounts of fat are dissolved with this treatment, directly where the injections are applied; you don’t need to worry that Kybella will affect other areas of your body.
