Speak with your surgeon as we each have our own post op protocol. I recommend ice, elevating the head and sometimes, mild compression. Advil etc. fine. And no, treating the swelling will not adversely affect your results.
Thank you foryour question jackiep5225. Kybellais the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatmentfor the double chin. The most frequent side effect is swelling which I have seen in 100% of cases. I recommend that my patients apply cold compresses such as ice packs and sleep on an extra pillow overnight to reduce swelling. Some doctors use straps that wrap from under the chin to the crown of the head; this works well too. Pleaseconsult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
