I am getting Kybella in 3 weeks. I would like to know what I should do in advance to get ready.
Answer: Kybella Prep Thank you for your question. There's not much prep involved with Kybella. Stop taking aspirin or ibuprofen a week before your injection. This will help with bruising, which is very minimal to nonexistent with Kybella injections.

Answer: Prepping for kybella I recommend that my patients stop aspirin and NSAIDS (motrin, advil, etc) for 2 weeks before. I also have my patients stop fish oil/omega oils which can also have an aspirin like effect and increase bruising. My patients have found that taking an over the counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (one brand name is Zyrtec) each day for one day before, the day of and the day after can help with the swelling. Some patients have taken Benadryl instead-but be aware that benadryl can make you sleepy. Clear your social calendar (or have a sense of humor about swelling) for the 3 days after because the neck swells as the Kybella goes to work on the fat and you may feel a little like a pelican! Really though it's not that bad-just be prepared for some swelling. Good luck - our patients have been really happy with the Kybella so far.

Answer: To get ready for Kybella, I would refrain from ... Aspirin, fish oils, and herbs or medications that effect bleeding... and have some ibuprofen as that is what my patients need for soreness. This procedure should be comfortable and get excited, because it works!

Answer: Prepping for Kybella in 3 weeks. Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and congratulations on your upcoming Kybella treatment. Because Kybella is an in-office, minimally invasive procedure there is little that you need to do to get ready, but it is advisable to stop any unnecessary blood thinners for two weeks prior to limit your bruising potential. You may want to consider starting arnica/bromelain supplements to further limit this risk.

Answer: Kybella Hi,Nice thing about Kybella is that no prep is needed. Make sure you are not on blood thinners or long term aspirin to reduce bleeding.
