I have a scheduled appointment for my first kybella treatment on Monday but have learned that I have a work function that following Saturday, leaving only a few days to heal. Do many patients have significant swelling 5 days after their initial treatment? My double chin and full cheeks has been the bane of my existence, I work out regularly and have a very low percentage of body fat everywhere else except for my face.

Answer: Kybella Swelling Swelling after Kybella is expected however temporary. Patients can typically expect swelling to the treatment area for ~5 days post treatment, with most noticeable swelling occurring on day 2-3. Icing immediately post procedure helps. An oral antihistamine can also be used to minimize swelling as well as Motrin and light compression. I would expect swelling to be largely resolved by your event 5 days after your treatment. Subsequent treatments have less swelling since there is less fat there to enlarge

Answer: Swelling noticeable... We have noticed the swelling is noticeable 3 to 5 days. People who swell more tend to have better results, which I find to be very interesting. If you feel your swelling is not improving talk to your injector.
