Kybella to the neck?

As the principal investigator for the FDA trials on Kybella,
and with over 400 treatments performed, we found that Kybella injections result
in significant improvement in the appearance of convexity or fullness
associated with submental fat. In these clinical trials, patients did not wear
a compression garment, and some patients did experience some swelling. The amount
of swelling is directly related to the amount of fat present and the amount of
kybella injected. In other words, if you have a large amount of fat under your
chin, you would require a greater amount of kybella to treat the area
effectively, and the greater the subsequent inflammatory response with
swelling. I currently recommend that patients wear a compression garment for a
few days to help with the post-procedure swelling. The procedure is very well tolerated by patients, fast, and
can be performed in clinic. Prior to any
intervention, however, a proper physical exam is necessary. I recommend
visiting a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who is experienced with
Kybella injections.

 Thank you for your question, both compression and Arnica are great options to help manage the symptoms after Kybella. I would also recommend that you do icing or cold compresses. If your office also offers lymphatic massage options, then I would also take advantage of this. 

Thank you for your question in regards to Kybella. It is to be expected to swell after Kybella injections. A compression garment is not necessary, although arnica may be applied to help subside with any possible bruising to the injection site. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

The first treatment with Kybella tends to have the most swelling. Minor bruising is not uncommon. Neck compression garments and arnica (topically or orally) have not been shown to reduce swelling or bruising, but some patients do feel that arnica tablets, in particular, may help. Being upright and exercising may also help. Good luck. 

Kybella does not require post treatment wrapping or compression although it could not hurt if you wanted to do this.  Applying arnica can help with bruising.

Thank you for
your question ms.latinmorena. Kybella is the first and
thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double
chin. Wrapping the area after the treatment helps to reduce swelling. Arnica is thought to decrease bruising which can occur with any injection. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

You can certainly wrap your chin if you'd like, but I don't find it necessary. Ice can help with the pain or discomfort and yes, arnica good for any bruising.Kindly,Kouros Azar

No harm in doing either but I usually don't find it to be necessary.  Arnica is very safe and can help bruising to resolve more quickly.  Some patients like wearing an elastic neck support but its up to you whether its worth the aggravation.  One thing that might be helpful next time is to take ZYRTEC (CETERIZINE) which is a non-sedating, over the counter antihistamine, with one pill the day before, the day of and the day after.  Easy to do and seems to help.

Thank you for your question. There is no harm in wrapping your chin, although I
don’t think it is necessary. Some patients alleviate the soreness with an icepack
but it just depends on each person.

Thanks for your question. These treatments should not be a problem after Kybella treatment. You might add an ice pack intermittently to help reduce any pain or swelling.  However, keep it short (5-10 minutes) to reduce any freezer burn/frost bite.All the best, Steven Camp MD#HappyCamperMD
