Interested in Kybella for cheeks. Would compression be recommended?

SoCal212Aug 14, 2021

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!

Kybella injections go pretty quickly. I find that patients can be quite comfortable with the application of ice before injecting. Another option is to use a multi-injector, so that multiple injections can be done at the same time.

Kybella is uniquely developed to chemically destroy fat under the chin. CoolSculpting uses fat "freezing" to reduce the amount of fat as well, without the need for injections. Both have proven results. Kybella tends to be well appreciated by patients who are suitable candidates.
