I had my 1st treatment of Kybella and I was wondering if I need to wrap my face to reduce swelling. I’ve been applying Ice as instructed will wrapping help with swelling?
Answer: Swelling after Kybella injections Hello and thanks for your question. Icing the area after your Kybella injections is really the best way to manage swelling and soreness. I don’t typically tell my patients to wrap after their treatment, as this has not been shown to help and may even hinder the healing process somewhat. The best thing you can do after this procedure is be patient. It takes a bit of time for swelling to subside and the results of the treatment to become evident. Also, keep in mind that most patients require a series of two to four treatment sessions to achieve their full goals.

Answer: Kybella Dear foodie4life, Kybella typically takes 3 to 5 treatments to work. This is why I've stopped carrying Kybella in my office. I recommend neck liposuction more often then any injectable procedure for the neck now. It provides superior results gives me more control over the area than any injectable. It also costs about the same as what you paid for your first kybella session. The liposuction can be done under local while awake in the office and recovery is about the same as kybella.

Answer: Kybella and swelling No, studies, have shown that wrapping the face does not really reduce the swelling. Ice and keeping the head elevated for the first day will help. Unfortunately, swelling with Kybella is the norm. Just look forward towards the result!
