Kybella is administered as an injection intothe fat tissue in the submental area (under chin). Multiple injections arerequired with each treatment. Total treatment time will take about 20 minutes.There may be some mild discomfort during the injections.In our practice, we use ice to numb the area along with a topical numbing cream before the treatment and after the treatment we suggest adequate hydration equivalent to approximately half body weight in ounces to improve lymphatic circulation.#Kybellaaftercare #Chinfattreatments #postKybella
Kybella is an FDA approved injectable to reduce the fullness beneath the chin. Swelling and firmness are very common. These are typical side effects and are actually the desired results because they are temporary and the product is in the area and working well. This represents an inflammatory process and drinking water will help to speed the recovery.
Drinking water is a terrific way of keeping yourself and your skin hydrated. However, upping your intake of water will not help eliminate fat from your body after Kybella treatment. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks before your final results are visible. Please see a board-certified dermatologist to talk about how to use Kybella to treat a double chin.
Bruising,swelling and mild discomfort can be expected following your Kybella treatment. Theseissues should resolve within 72 hours. You might be asked to avoid exercisingduring this time and to avoid strenous exercise for the week following Kybella injections. This is just a precautionarymeasure to reduce overall bruising and swelling. Proper diet and hydration also help to enhance skin healing in general.#Kybellatreatments #doublechintreatments #Kybellatreatments
Good hydration is always importantand recommended after any procedure. However, there are no studies to verifythat fat cells will clear more quickly because of it.
Swelling and "hardness" are very common temporary side effects following treatment with Kybella. While drinking plenty of water is healthy for your body overall, the amount of water that one drinks has no known effect on reducing the severity or duration of the local, mild side effects that typically occur following Kybella treatment.
I appreciate your question.Drinking water has not been found to remove the fat more quickly. Ultrasound and massage can help.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
I find that radiofrequency treatments help the kybella and/or massaging. But I have not found that drinking or eating anything special helps. Best, Dr. Emer.
No. As long as you're staying regularly hydrated (not overhydrated) your neck will heal normally. There is no way to speed up resolution of the swelling or removal of the fatty tissue. Stay normally hydrated and follow your doctor's aftercare instruction. Best of luck!Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
Thank you for your question. After a Kybella treatment, I often find that cooling for the first 24 to 48 hours, compression, and lymphatic massage are the best options to help decrease the degree of swelling. The lumpiness may take several weeks for it to fully resolved. I would wait until everything has fully resolved before your next Kybella treatment.
One. The results most typically are notable starting 1-2 months after treatment, and continue to improve for 3-5 months after treatment. It first appears to improve on both sides of the neck, below the jowls. The fat under the chin is the slowest to keep improving.I have...
