I got Kybella May 9th. My chin was swollen and I have the "bullfrog" look on my neck. I put the gel and kept ice packs on it like my instructions said. Today it is still swollen but you can tell it's going down. I was wondering if there was something I could do to help the swelling. Thanks!
Answer: Reducing swelling after Kybella At 2 weeks you should be over the worst of it. I have some patients that take 3-4 weeks to get back to where they started. The swelling is due to the inflammation as the Kybella works to reduce your fat. At this point there is not much to reduce the swelling faster- some patients might wear a chin strap.When you go in for your next treatment, try Cetirizine (Brand name Zyrtex) which is an over the counter antihistamine. I have my patients take one the day before , the day of and the day after. This might help give you less swelling. Hope this helps! And get ready, because now that the swelling is nearly over you will start to see the fat reduction and tightening as the area starts to shrink.

Answer: How can I reduce swelling after getting Kybella? Thank you for your question! The most significant swelling should be over by 10-14 days. It takes approximately six weeks for the swelling to subside back to your baseline, but after another eight weeks for visible improvement as the fat continues to melt away. Each patient is different, and their swelling may vary. The swelling is an inflammatory response to Kybella. Be sure to stay hydrated and to minimized alcohol consumption. We recommend icing the area for the first 24- 48 hours. Follow up vials can be injected as soon as 6 weeks, depending on the provider's recommendations and the patient's goals.

Answer: Swelling after Kybella The swelling that occurs after Kybella can take many weeks to fully resolve, and the recovery period seems to be shorter with each subsequent injection. Keeping the head elevated, using a supportive neck strap, and using homeopathic remedies like Arnica or Bromelain may all be helpful to speed the recovery process. Best,

Answer: Reducing swelling after Kybella... Thank you for your question! Swelling will generally peak around 3 - 4 days and reduce within 10 - 14 days. This tends to be more prominent when there is a large amount of fat and if it is your first time being treated. It appears you are likely in the peak of your swelling. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do to aesthetically reduce the swelling during the healing process (2 - 4 weeks). For discomfort due to swelling, I recommend reducing exercise after treatment and icing it to make it feel better. Permanent results from the treatment are seen within 3 - 4 weeks and can continue to be seen up to 6 months. With each subsequent treatment there will be less swelling due to the body having an established tolerance to treatment. If you have immediate concerns or additional questions, I suggest calling the clinic you were treated in for additional post-care information. For more detailed information answering this question, please feel welcome to view the video below. I hope you find it helpful. Best of luck to you and your recovery!
