Before Your Appointment

• Consult & Camera Angles – Bring side-profile photos so we can chart the exact bulge that bothers you.
• Pause Blood Thinners – Skip aspirin, ibuprofen, fish-oil, and alcohol for 48–72 hours to curb bruising.
• Neck-Wear Check – Leave turtlenecks and snug collars at home; you’ll want room for a light ice pack afterward.
• Schedule Smart – Swelling peaks at 48 hours and can linger a week, so avoid big events until day 7–10.
• Honesty on Medical History – Thyroid surgery, scar tissue, or prior liposuction under the chin? Tell us; it changes dosing strategy.
  

Aftercare and What to Expect

• Marshmallow Phase – The area can puff up like a marshmallow for three to seven days; that swelling means the fat-cell walls are breaking apart. Cool packs (ten minutes on, ten off) help.
• Heat & Sweat Timeout – No hot yoga, saunas, or high-intensity workouts for 24 hours; heat widens vessels and amps swelling.
• Hands Off – Resist massaging; the drug needs to stay where we placed it.
• Series Strategy – Most clients see best results with two to four sessions spaced six weeks apart. Each round removes another slice of the fat layer until the contour clicks into place. 
• Long-Term Payoff – Once fat cells are cleared, they’re gone for good. Keep your weight steady and enjoy a permanent profile upgrade.
