Can I work out/do cardio a day after kybella?

Kybella
destroys fat cells getting rid of unwanted double chin fat.

Bruising,
swelling and mild discomfort can be expected following your treatment. These
issues should resolve within 72 hours. You will be asked to avoid exercising
during this time and to take it easy in general. We suggest avoidance of over-the-counter supplements such as green tea, Omega 3s as well as aspirin products to minimize bruising and swelling.#Kybellainjections   #Kybellaaftercare   #Kybellatreatments

I give my patients a detailed instruction form after the Kybella injections. I ask them to do not exercise for 24 hours. After that time they can resume normal physical activity.

After injecting Kybella, expect swelling and possible bruising for several days. I advise my patients to apply ice to the area for the first 24 – 48 hours. I would also advise my patients to avoid any strenuous exercise for 4- 5 days following the injections. We do not want to increase the amount of blood flow to the injected area which then could increase swelling and delayed healing. 

Bruising, swelling and mild discomfort can be expected following your treatment. These issues should resolve within 72 hours. You will be asked to avoid exercising during this time and to take it easy in general. This is just a precautionary measure to reduce overall bruising and swelling.   The less micro-bruising in the first 72 hours, the faster the healing process! #Kybellabruising  #doublechinfat   #Kybellaworkouts

Thank you for your question.  Exercise after Kybella will induce more swelling to the neck region.  It should not affect the results, but it will make the post-injection period more noticeable both visually and from a sensation standpoint.  If you can wait even a few days to a week to allow some of the swelling to resolve, you will be in a better place. 

Kybella treatments are great at helping to dissolve double chins.  The treatment does put more volume in the neck area and this swollen area would take a week or more to resolve. Although working out the next day would not likely affect the result, it may feel strange to work out with the swollen chin typically seen after the treatment. I hope this was helpful.

Swelling is one of the most common side effects following treatment with Kybella and typically lasts 5 days to 2 weeks; but can be present for up to one month.  Several of my patients have reported a "jiggling" sensation of the chin area when walking following Kybella treatment, due to swelling.  Other possible side effects include temporary numbness, a feeling of difficulty swallowing (due to swelling), and bruising.  Regarding exercise following Kybella treatment, I advise my patients that they may want to take it easy, avoiding very strenuous exercise, for the first 5 days or so following treatment.  Typical timing would be that if you are treated on a Thursday, you can resume your usual activities by the following Tuesday.  Mild to moderate exercise may be fine after 48 hours, but that will depend on how much swelling you have.  In my practice I recommend performing Kybella treatments approximately 8 weeks apart; and swelling typically diminishes with each successive treatment.

It is best to avoid strenuous activities while the treated area is still healing. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

Every injector has his or her own post injection protocol, but I advice my patients to avoid strenuous exercise for the first 2-3 days following their Kybella treatment. It just helps to reduce swelling and improve healing. 

I would wait a few days before running or engaging in high impact cardio. My patients report that the bouncing motion, which causes the chin to shake is very uncomfortable for a couple of days. If you want to do yoga or other low impact exercising the next day, that should not produce the same issue.I would recommend you ask your doctor this question. It is a good, fair question, and s/he may have a different answer based on your specific situation.
