Have my second round of Kybella tomorrow, I'm getting over a sinus infection and on Z pack (Day 2 of 5) Is it safe to proceed?

Question

Office said it was but I'd like a second opinion...

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

I believe this will be fine as long as you do not skip any doses of antibiotics. However, you should mention this to the physician before moving forward. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

John L. Burns Jr., MD · Answer

Kybella is a noninvasive procedure and therefore you should be fine to proceed while still on Zithromax

Dallas Buchanan, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. If you have an internal infection such as a sinus infection, this should have no impact on a superficial injectable treatment such as Kybella. That being said, there should be no problem delaying the treatment until you feel better if that seems safer to you.Best of luck!

I do not think that there would be any problem having your second Kybella treatment as you are recovering from a sinus infection.  There should not be any safety issue but there certainly would not be any problem to wait a longer period of time if you do not feel up to it at the moment.

Thank you for the question.   I think that it should be fine that you have Kybella while on antibiotics, as the two treatments should not interfere with one another.  That said, I do not like doing elective, cosmetic procedures or injectables in anyone that has any form of illness, as the off chance that there is some unforeseen interaction makes me hesitant to offer it.  I prefer that my patients are healthy at the time of injection, though I think that most providers would offer it and leave it up to the patient.  Good luck!

Lisa Jenks, MD · Answer

It definitely is safe to proceed, meaning that you don't have a higher risk of side effects because you are sick.  However, I prefer for my patients to be healthy when doing procedures such as Kybella and I would recommend delaying until after you've completed the course of antibiotics and are feeling better.
