How long should numbness last after Kybella?

Kybella swelling and bruising will last for about 1 to 3 days, but it could be up to a few weeks before the area completely returns back to normal. It is rare, but some patients may experience numbness in the areas where Kybella was injected. However, this will go away in about 3 weeks.

Is Kybella a permanent fix?

Yes, Kybella is a permanent fix. Deoxycholic acid is a bile acid that is produced by your gut. Its role is to process and eliminate dietary fat. However, when it is injected into your chin or neck, it destroys some of the fat cells in the targeted areas. Since adults can’t grow new fat cells, there will never be as many fat cells in the targeted areas as there were before treatment.
