Kybella/PCGC Aftercare

Essential Aftercare Tips for Kybella

Kybella, a leading treatment for reducing submental fat, offers minimal downtime with effective results. Utilized for chin contouring, the non-surgical approach involves injections that dissolve fat cells, providing a smoother jawline.

  • Avoid extreme temperatures of heat for 24 hours post-treatment (i.e., Jacuzzi, hot showers, etc.).
  • Do NOT consume alcohol or sodium for 3 days post-treatment to avoid excess swelling.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.
  • Sleep on your back with your head elevated to decrease swelling.

What to Expect:

  • You will experience swelling and bruising for 3-5 days post-treatment, which will begin decreasing over a period of a few weeks. Swelling can last 4-6 weeks.
  • Many patients need 2-3 treatments for desired results, please schedule a follow-up appointment 4-6 weeks after your first treatment.
  • Ice packs may be used on the treated area during the first 12 hours. Ice for 15 minutes every hour. However, icing can be discontinued if uncomfortable.
  • Do NOT massage the injection site. Swelling, tenderness, bruising, numbness, and areas of firm nodules may occur and will resolve over time without intervention.
  • Results are not immediate. Results may be seen as early as 4-6 weeks post-treatment, but full results will not be noticed until 12 weeks post-treatment.
  • Numbness can last up to 12 weeks.
  • Do not wrap the treated area, and do not take anything to prohibit swelling the day of the treatment or for the days following treatment.
  • You may feel a sense of heaviness following the treatment, especially when lying on your back. This sensation may make you feel short of breath. However, Kybella® does not compromise your airway. Notify our office if any significant swelling, bleeding, pain, dusky discoloration, difficulty swallowing or smiling, or if fever occurs.
