Kybella® is a cytolytic drug indicated for improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated with submental (neck) fat in adults. The safe and effective use of Kybella® for the treatment of subcutaneous fat outside the submental region (neck) has not been established and is not recommended. Kybella® is injected into the fat under the chin (no more than 50 injections or 10mL under the skin). Kybella® injections can cause tingling, swelling, itching, skin tightness, and headache. These side effects typically resolve without treatment and do not commonly result in patients discontinuing treatment BRUISING AND SWELLING- Kybella® injections commonly cause swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area. You may have bruising within a week or more of having any injectables, so time your treatments with your schedule accordingly. Although wound healing after an injectable procedure is expected, you will want to keep ice on the treated area until it subsides. You may be asked to take a medication to reduce or prevent bruising such as Arnica Montana. Contact your provider if bruising lasts longer than a week or anytime if you are concerned. DAMAGE TO DEEPER STRUCTURES - Deeper structures such as nerves, blood vessels, and muscles may be damaged during treatment with aesthetic injectables. The potential for this to occur varies according to where the treatment is being performed. Injury to deeper structures may be temporary or permanent. UNSATISFACTORY RESULT - There is the possibility of an unsatisfactory result from aesthetic injectables. Aesthetic injectables may result in unacceptable visible deformities, loss of function, wound disruption, skin death, and loss of sensation. The procedure may result in unacceptable visible deformities or asymmetry in the treatment area. You may be disappointed with the results of Kybella®. The effectiveness of Kybella® may eventually subside but is not know when or if ever that will occur at this time. It is possible that Kybella® cannot be removed or corrected once inside your neck or body. ADDITIONAL TREATMENTS MAY BE NECESSARY - In some situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal results with a single aesthetic injectable treatment. Multiple sessions may be necessary. Should complications occur, additional injectables or other treatments may be necessary |
