Kybella post treatment - can I workout? It is still a little swollen and sore when I touch it. (Photos)

Yes, you can exercise after Kybella. Kybella take 1-3 treatments every 6 weeks.  Patient will develop swelling and possible bruising after each injection that may last a few days.  The benefit of Kybella is each treatment is quick and completed in the office. However, some patients need more than one treatment to get desired results. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the photos, physical activity is fine since it's been a week already. Honestly, it takes a series of treatments to get good results with Kybella. Keep in mind, Kybella is good for dissolving the submental fat under the chin area while contouring the jawline and making the chin more defined, but a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with non-invasive options. I recommend a combination approach with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is the best alternative for contouring the chin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. I hope this was helpful. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello there! There are virtually no restrictions following Kybella after seven days. You will probably not see results until 4-6 weeks post-treatment. Nothing you do can "ruin" the result (unless you gain weight), but there is not much you can do to "speed up" the result. Obviously losing weight may affect this area if you tend to lose weight in the face quickly. In our office we recommend a few treatments of Cellutone post-Kybella. This helps to reduce swelling and may speed up the healing process. Good luck! Sarah RN BSN
