Is there any harm to wearing a chin strap after getting Kybella?

 While a chin strap is not necessary after Kybella, some patients feel that the gentle pressure it exerts makes them feel more comfortable and helps to resolve some of the postprocedural swelling. I tend to be conservative when administering Kybella because I don’t want my patients to be swollen for more than 5 to 7 days. Thus, most of them choose not to use chin straps and simply manage the swelling with ice packs. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will allow you to talk about what’s worked best for his or her patients and decide if a chin strap would beneficial. 

By chin strap, I think you mean a soft neoprene like chin strap like we use after liposuction of the chin. If that is what you mean, I don't think there is any harm is wearing a chin strap.  I just want to be sure we are not talking about a tight chin strap that goes on a helmet or something like that which could leave a dent in the swollen chin if it is worn too long. 

I don't recommend the chin strap because the extra pressure might be unpleasant. It won't harm your final results and might keep the swelling down.Good luck, Dr. ALDO
