I am scheduled for a mommy make over (TT and BL) on 2/16. I was thinking I might do the Kybella shots in conjunction with the surgery but was uncertain whether to do them before or after. If I do them before it would be about 10 days before. If after, it would be 10 days to two weeks after. Is there any reason why I shouldn't? Thanks for considering this question.
Answer: Kybella before a tummy tuck I can't think of any reason why you would not be able to have Kybella injected 10 days before your tummy tuck. Most all of your swelling should be down by that point. Assuming that you are otherwise a good candidate for kybella, you should be able to have the injections before or after your surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Kybella Treatment Before Surgery Thank you for posting your interesting Kybella question. It is safe to have your first Kybella, deoxycolic acid, treatment 2 weeks before or after your surgery. As you know, Kybella is a series of injections under the skin to reduce the submental fat or double chin. Since it takes a while for the Kybella to take effect, you might want to get started on your make over before surgery. I recommend that you discuss this with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced and properly trained with Kybella. Best wishes, Dr. Swift
