Is it safe to get kybella if you have heart problems like cardiomyopathy and prolong qt?

Thank you for your question heatherfoyou. Kybella is the first FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double chin. The safety and efficacy of Kybella has not been studied in people with heart conditions. So unfortunately we do not know the answer to your question. However Kybella dissolves the fat in the neck and it is thought to be completely eliminated from the body within 24 hours. The active ingredient in Kybella, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring substance that we produce in the liver. Please consult with a cardiologist for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Kybella is a fabulous injection for the area of fat under the chin.  There is no contraindication with these cardiac conditions but I would discuss them at length with your treating physician during your consultation.  I often combine Thermage with Kybella for the best skin tightening and neck contouring.
