How can I help the swelling from my 1st round of shots?

It is not uncommon to experience swelling after Kybella injections. I suggest head elevation (sleeping in a recliner or on a few extra pillows), compression (Ace wrap or jaw bra), ice, and an anti-inflammatory medicine.

Normally swelling after Kybella injections last about a week. In our practice we use post injection ice and compression. In rare instances we will use a Medrol Dosepak to decrease inflammation. I highly recommend you contact your personal plastic surgeon for his or her advice on your post injection swelling.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your concerns. I would recommend that you do a lot of cold compresses or icing, in combination with compression. Your swelling should be down before your trip.

We use venus legacy post treatments to help the swelling and improve skin tightening after the procedure.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for reaching out.  Swelling typically lasts up to a week with Kybella injections.  Keeping your head elevated even when sleeping will help resolve it.  You should definitely see your provider for an in person exam.I hope this helps :)

Thank you for your question in regards to Kybella. Swelling should start to subside within 7-10 days after your treatment. Icing right after treatment can help with burning sensation and swelling. Avoid strenuous workouts which can make swelling worse, and sleep slightly elevated the help. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Swelling after kybella treatments is normal and will last several weeks. This is a normal response and will go down with time. Head elevation, ice and using a chin strap for compression will lessen, but not eliminate the swelling. These are certainly worth trying before your trip.

Thank you for
your question lorinaha. I understand your concern. Kybella is the first and
thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double
chin. Swelling is seen every time after a treatment. This is good because it means that it is working. I recommend that my patients apply cold compresses such as ice packs and sleep on an extra pillow if possible to reduce swelling. Some people wrap the area overnight. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Ice, mild compression and keeping your head elevated when you lie down or sleep are what I recommend for my patients who are suffering from above average swelling. Anti-inflammatories may help. Speak with your surgeon as to what he or she recommends. Kindly,Kouros Azar

Swelling usually will last about 4-5 days, improving each day. I don't think there is one specific thing that makes the swelling go down faster. Ice packs, chin straps, etc. all can potentially help.
