Can anyone tell me if the substance in Kybella would affect the the thyroid? (Photo)

Kybella when injected by an experienced injector should not effect the thyroid except in rare instances. Liposuction can also be done in this same region.

Thank you for your question, Sundawn. Kybella is the ideal solution for providing a tight jaw line via its ability to vanquish fat. Kybella offers a short treatment time and a minimal recovery process. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

I appreciate your question.

From your photos, it appears that you would be a be a better candidate for liposuction and skin tightening /radio frequency laser treatments to accomplish your goals.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

I suggest a formal consultation, in my practice we would do a combination of liposuction and thermiRF to remove fat and tighten skin.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Kybella is an FDA approved injectable medication that permanently removes the fat beneath your chin. It is a safe medication and the procedure to introduce it is also very straight forward. The thyroid should not be involved with the injections and the literature does not reveal any side effects that impair the thyroid.
