Kybella and CT scan

Question

I just had my first Kybella treatment done a day ago. She used three vials . My question is I have a ct scan scheduled for 4 days from now to check on some abdomen pain .. will having to drink that dye contrast drink interfer at all with Kybella?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, this shouldn't negatively impact your results. Keep in mind, a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with non-invasive options like Kybella. I recommend Kybella with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is a great alternative for contouring the chin, if you're a candidate and can be performed at the same time as a neck lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

No, the CT scan will not interfere with your results from Kybella. Most people need more than one treatment with Kybella and it can take several weeks for results. Hope this helps.

Jennifer Reichel, MD · Answer

There should be absolutely no reason that the contrast dye for a CT scan would interfere with your Kybella treatment. It may be a good idea to let your doctor (that is following you for the abdominal pain) know that you had kybella - but it won't interfere with a CT scan being done on the trunk.

There is no correlation between having Kybella treatment before or after a CT. Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a bile acid naturally found in humans.

Hi there and thanks for your question. No, drinking any contrast solution will not have any affect on your kybella results.  Best of luck and hope you feel better!
