I recently had CoolSculpting done on my thighs and banana rolls. I was pleasantly surprised that I only needed one treatment, but I still want more fat reduction. The medical assistant said it would be bad to do another treatment because I don't have enough fat per se to be suctioned. She recommended BTL Exilis on my thighs and Kybella for my banana rolls. Do you think I could just do the BTL for my thighs AND banana rolls and get a great result? Can you use BTL on your calves? I have big calves.

Answer: Kybella for Banana Roll -- combine with Exilis, Venus Legacy, Thermage, Ultherapy vs. VASER HI-DEF, ThermiRF, Renuvion, BodyTite
There is a descent amount of swelling and inflammation associated with Kybella treatment and so I would probably wait until after your dental work and jaw surgery before proceeding with Kybella treatment.
It can take up to 8 weeks for the inflammatory results after kybella to resolve. Allow a little bit more time to resolve. Consider placing aloe vera to the area of irritation. If symptoms worsen contact your Doctor.
Waiting longer than the recommended 6-8 weeks after your first treatment will not effect the results of your future treatments! Definitely wait for a time when you are okay with having some swelling with a risk of bruising!
