Kybella® Injection Consent
Kybella® is an FDA approved cosmetic injection indicated for improvement in the appearance of submental fullness associated with submental fat in adults.
The results of Kybella® are not immediate. At your first treatment visit you will receive a series of injections in the submental area. At the time of injection and for several days following the injections you will have swelling in the submental area. Kybella® will cause the fat cells to diminish gradually over the course of the next month following your injection in the treated area. A series of treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal results and these will occur at no sooner than the one-month interval. Your doctor will decide the appropriate number of treatment sessions and the amount of Kybella® you will need at each session.
Side Effects:
Side effects of Kybella® may include: bruising, swelling, numbness, induration, marginal mandibular nerve injury, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), bleeding, tenderness or discomfort, tissue necrosis, hyperpigmentation, redness, or alopecia at the site of injection.
Alopecia: Kybella® injections could cause small patches of alopecia in the treatment area. Pre- Instructions:
You should not be pregnant, nursing an infant, have a history of a bleeding disorder or infection of the area to be treated. The morning of your treatment you should take ibuprofen if you are able to tolerate this medication. Also, you should tell you physician if you take any blood thinners or aspirin or have a history of any issue with lidocaine or epinephrine.
Post Care Instructions:
•Ice packs may be used to the treated area during the first 12 hours – ice for 15 minutes on every hour

•Avoid heavy exercise the day of your treatment

The medical director will review all treatments planned for clients. The safety of all procedures are outlined in the protocols manual on site. The well-planned protocols establish safety and allow delegation to the RN to perform.
