I have read and understand this document entitled: Informed Consent for Injection of Kybella
I hereby authorize Timeless Beauty Aesthetics, to perform the following procedure: Injection of Kybella.
I acknowledge that no guarantee has been given by anyone as to the results that may be obtained.
I will follow all aftercare instructions as it is crucial to do so for good healing and to minimize the risk of complications.
For purposes of advancing medical education, I consent to the admittance of observers to the treatment room.
Kybella is an FDA approved cosmetic injection indicated for improvement in the
appearance of submental fullness associated with submental fat in adults (double chin).
All other areas that are treated with Kybella are OFF LABEL- this means they have not
been approved by the FDA. However we have had great success with other areas and
physicians are currently collecting data to submit to the FDA in order to get other areas
approved.
________
The results of Kybella are not immediate. At your first treatment visit you will receive a series of injections in the area you wish treated. At the time of injection and for several days following the injections you will have swelling in the area. Kybella will cause the fat cells to diminish gradually over the course of the next several months 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.
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.
