To reduce your risk of complications and improve the effectiveness of Kybella injections, you will want to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least one week after your injections. It is also essential to avoid drinking alcohol and smoking for several days after each injection in order to prevent excessive swelling or bruising at the injection site. Dr. Dina Strachan will provide you with aftercare instructions after your appointment to reduce your chances of experiencing any complications or side effects that may be bothersome.
