When should swelling resolve after fat dissolving injections in the face?

Hi.  On average, I have seen swelling last between 1-2 weeks when a lot of product was used to dissolve the fat in a large area.  Try keeping your head elevated when you sleep (to be at about a 30-45 degree angle), and ask your PS if a compressive strap, cold compresses, herbal aids like Arnica or Bromelain are ok to use.  Be sure to limit your head down positioning, and activity in general (BP elevation leads to more lymphatic flow/swelling).  Best wishes,

If you received Kybella, it can take up to a week for swelling to begin to subside, and take about six weeks for all swelling to go down. If you continue to have swelling after a week, I would contact your injector to speak about your issue.

If you had Kybella injections, swelling can resolve in as little as 3-4 days, or less commonly up to 2 weeks(rare). Most commonly, I find that swelling comes down in 5-7 days.
