Considering Kybella or chin liposuction for sub-mental fat? I have Hashimotos hypothyroid.

Thank you for your question Bumpy17. Kybella is a non-surgical treatment to address the double chin. Any time a treatment is performed, one must be careful of the structures in the area. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a condition of the thyroid gland, which is in the neck, near the area where Kybella is injected. Per the manufacturer's guidelines, those with conditions in the neck (difficulty swallowing, thyroid conditions, enlarged lymph nodes) are cautioned when having Kybella treatments. An absolute contraindication to Kybella is an infection in the area. Please consult with a doctor for specific advice. Good luck!

Thryoid conditions are NOT a contraindication for getting Kybella treatments and the injections will not interfere with any medication supplements you might take. Kybella is injected directly into ONLY the subcutaneous fat under the chin so it will not affect your thyroid at all.
