Interested in Kybella for cheeks. Would compression be recommended?

Question

I know Kybella's use for cheeks is off-label but I've seen some amazing results. The swelling after can be quite intense. I know compression is recommended for chin but would it be for cheeks? Or could this possibly push kybella into other areas? Thanks for any info!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there,

I would recommend compression for the cheek area; it is unlikely that it would push Kybella into other areas. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon for your consultation.
