How should I prepare for my Kybella appointment?

Arrive with a clean face and avoid makeup. We recommend not wearing jewelry around the neck or large earrings, as you’ll need to remove them before treatment.

How can I reduce the risk of bruising?

To reduce the chance of bruising, avoid alcohol and blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil for 24–48 hours before treatment, unless medically necessary.

Can I take anything before my appointment?

Consider taking arnica tablets a few days in advance to support your body’s natural healing process and minimize bruising and swelling.

Pre Care

Kybella

Please do not arrive on an empty stomach. Come with a clean face, free of makeup, and hair secured away from your face so your provider can treat you comfortably and precisely.

Please Note

Special Events

Please avoid scheduling important events within four weeks of your appointment. Swelling and bruising can last up to 3 weeks, and it may take up to a full month settle completely.

Dental Appointments

Avoid dental appointments for 2 weeks before and after your visit.

PRE-CARE POLICIES

Before Appointment

To help minimize bruising and swelling, begin avoiding blood-thinning medications, foods, and supplements—unless prescribed for a medical condition.

Common blood-thinning items to avoid include:

Advil, Ibuprofen, and Motrin
Almonds and almond milk
Fish oil
Garlic and ginger
Green tea
Salmon and sushi
Workout supplements and other nutritional supplements
If you regularly use pain relievers, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is safe to use, as it does not thin the blood. Always consult your physician before making changes, and avoid Tylenol if it is contraindicated with your medical history or current medications.

Before Appointment

Avoid alcohol, as it can increase the risk of bruising.
Begin taking Arnica to help minimize bruising and swelling—unless you are allergic or it is contraindicated with any of your medications or medical conditions (including high blood pressure).
Arnica is available in our office, at Vitamin Shoppe, or on Amazon. Please follow the dosage instructions on the label, and consult your provider or physician if you are unsure whether it’s appropriate for you.

Your happiness and confidence are our top priorities.
