I first had Coolsculpting to treat submental fullness/under chin area, after which I had one vial of Kybella to treat a very small amount of uneven fat that remained. It's been 2 months since the Kybella treatment and I have about half inch of hard, puffy skin under my chin. The skin looks puffier than after the Coolsculpting had resolved. Can I massage or do anything to reduce this condition? Is it normal to have this result after 2 months since initial Kybella treatment?

Answer: Hardness This can be improved with massage and continued compression at night. The hardness forms as a result of healing tissue and ideally and generally it does not stay. At times the swelling is bad enough that small doses of steroid can be injected to improve it. If you had the procedure done by a board certified doctor I recommend going and seeing him or her so that they can evaluate it. Good luck

Answer: Hard lumps after Kybella Occasionally when fat is destroyed it forms hard lumps which usually resolve on their own over time. In my practice, I use Cellutone after every Kybella treatment to break up the fat and get the lymph flowing. This would likely help you now, even though it has been 2 months already. Zimmer makes a similar shock-wave device. Either one should help.
