Kybella – Pre-op and Post-op Care Instructions
by BodySculpt NYC Body Sculpt - Plastic SurgeryKybella is a deoxycholic acid injection treatment that helps improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (double chin). It can literally dissolve fat in the submental/double chin region and significantly improves definition in jaw and neckline. Experienced plastic surgeons offer customized Kybella double chin treatment in Manhattan NYC, NY.
How the Treatment Works
When Kybella is injected into the fat underneath the chin, it destroys the fat cells in that area, which results in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot store or accumulate fat. So no further treatment is needed once you achieve your aesthetic goals.
In order to find out if Kybella is right for you, the surgeon will examine the area under and around your chin to determine amount and distribution of your submental fat. A single Kybella treatment involves multiple small injections under the chin. The injection process will take almost 15 to 20 minutes. The number of injections needed would depend on the amount of fat under the chin and your desired profile. In fact, as everyone’s chin profile is different, the number of treatments required would vary from patient to patient.
An experienced healthcare provider can determine the number of treatment sessions you would need based the amount of excess fat in the area and your personal treatment goals. Up to 6 treatments may be needed and each treatment session may be administered at intervals no less than 1 month apart.
Pre- and Post-operative Care
Following your surgeon’s pre and post operative instructions is important for a comfortable recovery and optimal results.
Pre-operative Care
- Prior to the treatment, you need to inform your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you had or plan to have surgery on your face, neck, or chin, cosmetic treatments on your face, neck, or chin, medical conditions in or near the neck area, trouble swallowing, and bleeding problems.
- This treatment is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Avoid taking all blood thinning medications and supplements one week prior to Kybella treatment to reduce risks of bleeding. Very high doses of some vitamins and supplements can thin your blood and increase the chance of bleeding.
Post-operative Care
- Avoid alcohol for at least 6 hours. Over-the-counter oral pain medication or anti-inflammatory can be taken as advised. Applying ice or a cold pack to the treatment area for 10 to 15 minutes will help manage the discomfort.
- Avoid doing exercises for at least 24 hours. In addition, you should not rub, massage, or scrub the injection sites for 24 hours after treatment in order to maximize your results and prevent adverse effects.
- Avoid doing facials, chemical peels or laser treatments for 14 days after the Kybella treatment.
Kybella treatment is available in established NYC plastic surgery practices. An expert NYC plastic surgeon can customize the treatment depending on your personal considerations. In an AAAASF-accredited practice, you can expect excellent treatment and care till full recovery.
