Kybella is an injectable treatment used to reduce submental fat, often referred to as a "double chin." It contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. The results of Kybella treatments are generally considered permanent because the fat cells that are destroyed are not expected to return.However, pregnancy can lead to significant changes in a woman's body, including weight gain and fat distribution. While Kybella results are not typically erased by pregnancy, the changes that occur during pregnancy can affect the appearance of the neck and chin area, potentially making it necessary for additional treatments in the future.During pregnancy, many women experiences weight gain, and this can include fat deposits in various areas of the body. Depending on an individual's genetics and how their body responds to pregnancy, they may accumulate fat in different areas, including the submental area (under the chin). If this happens, it could impact the overall aesthetic results of the Kybella treatment.It's important to note that Kybella is not recommended during pregnancy, as its safety for pregnant individuals has not been established. If you're considering Kybella or have already had the treatment and are planning to become pregnant, it's advisable to discuss this with your healthcare provider and the provider who administered the Kybella treatment. They can provide guidance on how to manage any potential changes in your appearance during and after pregnancy and whether additional treatments might be necessary in the future.
