I just found out I am 6 weeks pregnant. Two weeks ago I had Kybella injected into my chin and am now concerned about the potential impact on my then 4-week pregnancy. I know there hasn't been many studies on this so any input from the community of doctors is greatly appreciated.
Answer: Kybella in pregnancy Hi, it is scary when we don't know we are pregnant and have had stuff done. But you should be fine. It is true not enough or anything is known about kybella and pregnancy. But what is known is that generally things don't affect a fetus at 4 weeks. Think about all those unknown pregnant moms smoking, drinking, drugs etc. usually the embryo goes untouched that early in pregnancy. The effects of "stuff" can occur after 8 weeks. So considering kybella was local, you should be fine. But I personally would not recommend any injectable cosmetic products during pregnancy to be on the safe side. The stress from you worrying will be a lot worse. So take a deep breath and know you haven't done anything to hurt your unborn child! Good luck with your pregnancy and see you back in the world of cosmetics in 9 months!

Answer: Kybella and pregnancy It would not be recommended to undergo Kybella with a known pregnancy because there are no studies to investigate this interaction, but I doubt that you did any harm to your unknown fetus when you had your treatment. The Kybella should stay just locally where it was injected and not travel to your fetus.

Answer: There should be no harm on your baby or pregnancy since Kybella is localized treatment that only affects 1 centimeter squared ar There is no research how Kybella affects pregnancy or if it affects pregnancy at all. We all avoid performing injections during pregnancy because of liability if something goes wrong and there is nothing to prove if it is correlated or not. There should be no harm on your baby or pregnancy since Kybella is localized treatment that only affects 1 centimeter squared around its injections site. I advise you to contact your ob-gyn and run some tests. Good luck!
