I've read many answers that the more inflamatory response the better your end results, but I have also read others suggesting solutions to aid swelling (arnica, compression garments, etc). Do you feel that the results will be greater if you just accept the swelling or is it ok to take measures to get it down? I would hate to do something to heal faster that actually diminishes the final results I could possibly achieve. My consultation suggested 3 vials for my first treatment (32yr old, slim).

Answer: Kybella swelling Hello,I typically do not recommend the use of compression garments after treatment. Usually a cool compress and symptom treatment with acetaminophen or ibuprofen will help with any discomfort. The swelling may persist for several days.
