Currently there are no studies showing the results of what may occur; however, I agree that there is a low probability that could happen, and I also agree that there could be some local venous irritation, but that the small amounts placed in the correct position would likely dilute in the blood stream rather quickly. It is important to note that Deoxycholic acid is released by the gallbladder to break down food and absorbed by the intestine, so there are tiny amounts that are already present in your system.
There’s no documented case reports to my knowledge of this happening. It’s highly unlikely this scenario would occur and it’s probably not something that should be on the top of someone’s list of concerns. Should it happen the medication will be diluted as it travels through the vascular system and will be processed by the liver.It’s possible that it could cause an endothelial irritation causing a blood clot to form.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD

Dear fatRanger, Kybella typically takes 3 to 5 treatments to work. This is why I've stopped carrying Kybella in my office. I recommend neck liposuction more often then any injectable procedure for the neck now. It provides superior results gives me more control over the area than any...
Hi and thank you for your question! While Kybella is primarily used for excessive fat under the chin, in some patients it might also be used to reduce fat extending to the jawline or jowls. Injection of Botox for jaw slimming (or treatment of TMJ/bruxism) is done into the masseter muscle and...
For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest...
It appears you have a small amount of submental fat under your chin that would respond well to either Kybella or other measures like CoolSculpt mini or even micro-liposuction. Kybella is an injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid to destroy the fat cells, creating a more defined jawline...
Kybella is only approved to treat submental fat under the chin. I do not believe it would be effective in this area. It could require so many treatments that it would be much more expensive than liposuction and it could injure a nerve in this area. Instead, I would recommend liposuction to...
