Kybella has not been testing in pregnant or nursing mothers. Although it is unlikely to have any deleterious effect on the baby, most doctors would likely not perform this treatment at this time since a drug is being injected into the skin. Seek out a couple of opinions about your submental fat. For patients with mild fat, kybella can be a nice option. But for those with slightly more, coolsculpting is often a better choice. For patients with larger amounts of fat, liposuction is still the best option. Best of luck.
Dear earthmamastyle,Kybella typically takes 3 to 5 treatments to work. This is why I've stopped carrying Kybella in my office. I recommend neck liposuction more often then any injectable procedure for the neck now. It provides superior results gives me more control over the area than any injectable. It also costs about the same as what you paid for your first kybella session. The liposuction can be done under local while awake in the office and recovery is about the same as kybella.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
