Is it safe to have Sculptra & Kybella side-by-side for uneven skin contours during the same treatment session?

I had botched Lipo on my butt and thighs in 2006 in Costa Rica and am finally spending the $ for revision after years of research. I am tired of being disfigured . I have 3 seasons 6 weeks apart planned for filling the indentations with sculptra and dissolving the bulges/ uneven protruding contours with kybella starting Tuesday. I just want to know if it's safe to do both procedures in the same general areas -side by side -& if sculptra is safe for inner thighs
