What to Expect
Pre-Treatment
Before your Kybella treatment, a consultation is required to assess your goals and determine if you’re a good candidate. Patients should avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol for a few days to minimize bruising. It’s also recommended to eat lightly before the procedure and arrive with a clean, makeup-free face.
Post-Treatment
After Kybella treatment, mild swelling, redness, or tenderness under the chin is common and usually subsides within a few days. Patients can return to most daily activities right away but should avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours. As the body gradually eliminates destroyed fat cells, results become more noticeable over the following weeks.
