What are the risks for this treatment? Side effects? I was old the ingredients of Kybella your body produces naturally.
Answer: What Are Risks for Kybella With Bra Fat? Kybella Can Remove Bra Fat Safely The FDA has only approved Kybella as being safe and effective for submental fat (double chins). However, a number of my colleagues and I have found it useful in off-label treatments as well. Off-label does not mean that it is not safe; it just means that the safety has not been verified by long-term prospective studies in that area of the body. However, as you noted, Kybella is composed of deoxycholic acid — a substance found naturally in bile, which our bodies produce. It will not harm you. Side effects for bra fat treatment are similar as that for the submental treatment: some soreness, swelling, bruising or tenderness that will resolve in a few days. Swelling can sometimes last a couple of weeks. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will determine if you are a good candidate for Kybella bra-fat treatments.

Answer: Kybella for Bra Fat Hi and thank you for your question! Kybella is FDA-approved for treatment of submental fat. The active ingredient of Kybella - deoxycholic acid - is naturally present in our biliary secretions, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the agent is harmless and Kybella injection should be performed by experienced physicians to minimize the risk of tissue injury. In theory, Kybella can be used to dissolve and reduce fat under the skin in other parts of body (off-label used), but specifically for reducing the bra bulge I recommend other treatments such as SculpSure which can reduce the fat significantly in a series of treatment with less risk of complications. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Kybella for bra fat While Kybella is only FDA approved for under the chin, it is often used "off label" to treat the bra fat and is very effective. It will probably take more than one session so keep that in mind. The risks are minimal but you can expect to have some bruising and swelling following your treatment. See a really experienced injector to be assessed in person and discuss.

Answer: Kybella: treating bra fat Thank you for your question. Kybella is great for bra fat. It is FDA approved for fat reduction of the double chin area but many plastic surgeons use it off-label for reducing small areas of fat, including the bra-fat area. Similar risks of injevting under the chin apply but injection of bra fat, in the hands of experienced injectors, will be more commonly associated with swelling and possible bruising afterwards. Multiple treatments may be needed depending on the volume of fat you want to reduce. Please see a qualified and experienced injector to see if Kybella would work for you.

Answer: Kybella- underarm area (bra fat) Thank you for your question. Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid which is a molecule that is normally produced in the gallbladder. It helps with the breakdown and absorption of fat. It is currently FDA approved to be used in the submental area or "double chin". It has been used "off label" in the underarm area or "bra fat" and under the buttocks. Unfortunately, long term risks cannot be established at this time, since it has not been studied for a long time yet. The short term side effects are pain in the injected area, swelling and you could develop some redness or bruising which resolves in around 4 days. Off label treatment in these areas have great results and reduce unwanted fat. I would recommend you get a consultation with a physician who has experience with this product and who knows how to inject it and how far you can go in the underarm region to prevent any unwanted side effects. I hope this helps, Dr. Linette Rivera- Bella Mia Medical.
