10 days post treatment of Kybella, is there any benefit or issue with messaging the treated area?
Answer: Massaging after Kybella With the swelling that happens after a Kybella injection, it is tempting to want to massage it away, no question about it. Interestingly, massaging the area initially likely increases the amount of overall swelling that you will get. Once the swelling has settled after a few days, massaging may help it dissipate faster, but there is no good evidence to support that.

Answer: Is there any benefit to massaging the area treated by kybella? Thank you for your question! Your provider may briefly massage the area with arnica cream immediately after treatment for comfort but not for purposes of making the product more effective. After treatment we do not ask that patients massage the area. We recommend using ice or a vibrational device for temporary discomfort only. Kybella spreads very well so there is no benefit from massaging the area. It will not make the product work faster, better or improve swelling and therefore is unnecessary. I hope this answer was helpful. I have included a video with additional information regarding your question below. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Home Care after Kybella Treatments Bruising, swelling and mild discomfort can be expected following your Kybella treatment. These issues should resolve within 72 hours. You will be asked to avoid exercising during this time and to take it easy in general. This is just a precautionary measure to reduce overall bruising and swelling. We like to recommend anti-inflammatory medications and localized ice with a chin strap to minimize discomfort#Kybellainjections #afterKybella #doublechintreatments

Answer: Massaging after Kybella. Immediately after Kybella injections minimal manipulation to the area is recommended, definitely no massage, I would say for at least 48 hours. There have been no studies to show whether massage makes any significant difference in how well Kybella works, Massage may help speed up lymphatic drainage and help with swelling, but will not make the healing process and tissue remodeling occur any faster on its own.
