I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (autoimmune thyroid disease). Are Kybella injections OK for me?

Asked By:Linda385 in San Mateo, CA

I am a 56 year old woman, and I'm considering getting Kybella injections to reduce my post-menopausal double chin. I understand that the thyroid gland is not near the injection site. However, I am concerned about the immune response after the injections, because I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease). My thyroid disease is stable; I take Synthroid daily and my blood tests are good (except for the thyroid antibodies of course) . Should I be concerned about Kybella?
