I am strongly interested in getting two treatments of Kybella (4 vials total) done, my only setback is that I plan to try to conceive in the next year or two. Being that Kybella is a relatively new product, there are no studies that link Kybella to its effects on pregnancy. Is it worth injecting this new "naturally occurring acid" into my body without knowing how it could effect a future pregnancy? Thank you.
Answer: Will Kybella Affect a Future Pregnancy? Kybella Is Natural and Has No Long-Term or Systemic Effects Kybella is made of deoxycholic acid, which our gall bladder secretes naturally. When injected into the submental fat, Kybella works its effects in that area and is then metabolized by the body as if it were endogenous (produced in the body) deoxycholic acid. It doesn’t linger. It doesn’t change the blood or body chemistry. It is not contraindicated in women of child bearing age. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will help you get all the answers you need to move forward with Kybella or to choose another effective fat-removal technique, such as liposuction or CoolSculpting.

Answer: Kybella injections prior to trying to conceive I would not recommend having Kybella treatments while you are trying to conceive, but I do not think there would be any harm in having the Kybella now and conceiving in a year or two. If you are not comfortable with that, you could always have liposuction instead.

Answer: There is no real clinical information on this question. I recommend simply having neck liposuction, which does not require multiple treatments over time. A single neck liposuction is much more effective than multiple Kybella treatments. You get your result with a single treatment with a brief recovery period. Because of the lack of information about how Kybella could effect your efforts to become pregnant, don't do Kybella while trying to conceive.

Answer: Kybella and pregnancy Dear nejsisjsnd:The deoxycholic acid in Kybella is secreted by your gall bladder to digest fats in the food you eat, and is also present in your blood in small quantities. It is understandable that you are concerned, but there is absolutely no reason that Kybella should affect your ability to conceive or bear children.All the best,Dr. Clark
