🌿 Kybella Preparation Guide
Kybella permanently reduces fat under the chin (“double chin”). Here’s how to prepare:
A Few Days Before
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, or St. John’s Wort for 3–5 days, unless prescribed.
Skip alcohol for 24 hours prior.
Postpone your appointment for at least 2 weeks if you’ve had a recent dental procedure or active infection.
Let us know if you’ve had recent facial procedures or illness that might affect healing.
Reschedule if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwell.
On Treatment Day
Wear comfortable clothing and a loose collar neckline
Arrive with a clean face (no makeup, lotion, or sunscreen on the chin/neck area).
Be prepared for swelling in the chin/neck that may last several days.
✨ Tip: Schedule Kybella when you can allow for a few days of swelling—most patients plan it around downtime.
🌿 Kybella Aftercare Guide
Thank you for choosing Kybella to contour your profile! Some swelling and tenderness are normal — here’s how to care for your results:
Right After Treatment
Expect swelling, redness, or firmness under the chin — this is part of the process.
You may feel tenderness or numbness for several days.
Apply a cold compress as needed for comfort (10–15 minutes at a time).
First Few Days
Sleep with your head elevated to help reduce swelling.
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 24–48 hours.
Skip alcohol and salty foods, which may worsen swelling.
Do not massage or rub the treated area.
Healing Timeline
Swelling can last several days up to 2 weeks, but gradually improves.
Some firmness or nodules under the skin may occur and resolve over time.
Final results may take 4–6 weeks to become noticeable.
✨ Tip: Kybella often requires a series of treatments for the best outcome — your provider will guide your treatment plan.
