i had been icing after the procedure and for 3 days after. noticed my skin was gel like on day 3 and the ice burned my skin. I was very nervous contacted the office but they said it was normal. redness has not gone away.
Answer: Kybella Thank you for your question, chispa.8. Your post-Kybella skin is desensitized and requires time - albeit very short - to recover. I am glad that you contacted the office right away - it was the right things to do. Please continue to follow your board certified facial plastic surgeon's recovery guidelines diligently and carefully. Best wishes,

Answer: Kybella / Liposuction/ Radio frequency/ Cool Sculpting / CoolMini / Neck Laxity / Botox / Double Chin Treatment I appreciate your question. It is likely just a superficial tissue injury as your ability to sense temperature can be affected after a procedure like Kybella for the first week or so. Please see your physcian to make sure there is not something deeper injuried. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz

Answer: Icing after Kybella Coolpacks and ice can be very helpful after Kybella injections for swelling; however, it is very important to not have long, direct contact with ice as this can cause frost-bite reactions. If this is the case, the redness may last for some time and can be followed by hyperpigmentation. It is important to follow up with your physician to be evaluated. In the meantime, keep the skin well moisturized and avoid anything cold to the area.

Answer: Ice burn on neck after Kybella I'm sorry you had this experience. In general I advise patients to be very cautious when applying cold OR heat to any part of the body where a procedure has just been performed. Your ability to sense temperature can be affected after a procedure like Kybella for the first week or so. It is actually much easier to burn yourself with ice packs and heating pads than people think. I would recommend scheduling an appointment with the doctor who injected your Kybella to have them evaluate the severity of the burn and determine if any further treatment is necessary. It's always better to be safe than sorry. Best of luck!

Answer: Kybella it sounds like you gave yourself a bit of frost-bite... it will go away. You should know that your skin will be numb for a while after Kybella... do not put ice directly on your skin during this time.My best,Dr. Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram
