Kybella Care Guide
Kybella permanently reduces fullness beneath the chin, but it comes with more noticeable swelling than most injectables, so a little planning around your sessions makes recovery much smoother.
Why Aftercare Matters for Your Results
Because Kybella works by breaking down fat cells, swelling is a normal part of the process. Following aftercare guidance helps manage that swelling comfortably while your results develop over the following weeks.
Pre & Post Care Tips
Swelling is common for several days after each session, with visible results typically beginning 4 to 6 weeks after your first treatment.

Any Questions?

Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours following your session. Skip alcohol for at least 24 hours to help minimize swelling.
