HOW DO I KNOW IF KYBELLA INJECTIONS IS RIGHT FOR ME?

For those with a major medical illness or disease, you should inform your plastic surgeon so that they can decide if are a Kybella candidate.
Conditions and situations that may mean that Kybella isn’t right for you can include: cancer, injuries affecting the treatment area, blood or bleeding disorders, pregnancy or breastfeeding, any major medical illness that is not managed, or if you are taking blood thinners or medications or supplements that can have that effect.
