How can I reduce swelling after getting Kybella?

bwillis92May 23, 2016

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!

Kybella didn't work. What other options do I have for a chin with little fat but weird slope/ no definition? (Photo)

Kybella is a great treatment for submental fat, however patients with a small chin and low hyoid often have very obtuse and full neck. Liposuction or a neck lift may be warranted. Other options include adding a chin implant to neck liposuction.

You don't have to have an actual double chin to benefit from Kybella. Just a small amount of fat can be unflattering and is easily removed with one or two treatments of Kybella's deoxycholic acid – a natural substance found in human bile. The procedure takes less than 5 minutes in most cases. Y...

Both Kybella and CoolMini are terrific nonsurgical solutions for double chins. However, there is no reason to combine these therapies. Either is effective on its own. Both usually require more than one treatment, as they can only remove about 20% to 30% of fat at a time. Please consult a...
