How are Renuva allergic reactions treated?

Question

Hi, I'm considering Renuva as a permanent solution for a small indentation left by Kybella. I've am concerned about an allergic reaction being a possible side effect. How are patients treated when this is the case? Does the product need to be surgically removed? Thank you.

I haven't had any of my patients experience an allergic reaction to Renuva, but if you have specific concerns because you have allergies, please speak with your doctor to find out if Renuva – which is only in the hands of elite medical aesthetic injectors – is the best treatment for you.  Renuva is the ideal solution to correct the indentation you have experienced from Kybella. When injected, Renuva creates a honeycomb-like matrix that is replaced with your body's own fat, over the course of three months. This creates beautiful and natural looking results, since the fat that remains is entirely yours!  To dissolve the fat in the area Renuva was injected, your doctor can inject deoxycholic acid.

Really great questions! Renuva is an ideal solution for smoothing small body indentations, like the one you have experienced with Kybella. 
 
 Since Renuva dissolves after three months, leaving only your body's own fat cells, your doctor would have to have inject more deoxycholic acid (Kybella) into the area where you want the fat cells dissolved.
 
 If you have concerns about your allergies and whether or not Renuva is right for you, it's important to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon about your concerns. They will be able to help you make the best decision to achieve your desired results.
