Are there any long term effects of Kybella? Such as cancer or any thing bad like that. Can Kybella be taken with one kidney?

Question

Anna Avaliani, MD · Answer

Kybella is an acid made in our body, stored in gallbladder and released into stomach when we consume fatty foods. We already have it and there are no studies showing it causes cancer.  You can definitely have Kybella with one Kidney as long as you are a candidate, Best, Dr.Avaliani

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

There is no longterm evidence that Kybella leads to cancer. You already have the active ingredient of Kybella in your body. It is a naturally produced bile acid which your body uses to break down dietary fat.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, there is no long term risk with Kybella and you can have Kybella with one kidney. That being said, with Kybella a combination approach would be best to get the most improvement. I recommend Kybella with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is an alternative for contouring the chin, if you're a candidate. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

There is no evidence that Kybella causes cancer or any serious conditions. It is naturally occurring in human body like deoxycholic acid. You can have Kybella injection with one kidney. It is important to choose experienced provider. Good luck!

Alex Eshaghian, MD, PhD · Answer

Thank you for
your question sonofcamel. Kybella is
the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for
the double chin. There are no known long term effects such as cancer of Kybella. Having one kidney is not a contraindication to having a Kybella treatment. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
