Double-chin on ONE Side of Face. What is my Best Option? (photo)

Hello and thank-you for sharing your question.

I would recommend an in-person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon.  If clinically indicated, an MRI would be helpful to determine if this asymmetry is due to an enlarged sub-mandibular gland or if it is in fact a fatty deposit. Correction of a double chin due to excess subcutaneous fat can be treated either though a surgical or non-invasive approaches. Liposuction of the chin and neck produces consistently good results for appropriate candidates. We are very excited with the development of several non-invasive techniques for correction of a double chin. We offer the Cool mini as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for the right candidate. Generally, two treatments are required separated by 4-6 weeks.  We also offer Kybella which is another non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Generally 3-6 treatments are needed separated by 4-6 weeks.  If there is mild to moderate skin laxity, combining the treatment with Ultherapy is an excellent option. 

Best regards,

Kybella is an FDA- approved treatment for treating chin fat. Sagging skin and muscle atrophy would not be affected but Kybella can help contour the asymmetry when subcutaneous fat is evident. Often 2 or 3 treatments are needed to completely contour the chin and remove the unwanted fat. A skillfully trained provider can determine if you are a candidate for Kybella vs other surgical neck procedures.#Kybellainjections    #doublechin   #fattreatments

Kybella is an exciting new FDA- approved
treatment for submental fullness, or double chin. Kybella (Deoxycholic Acid) is
injected into the fat pad under the chin for permanent results. Often 2
or 3 treatments are needed to completely contour the chin and remove the
unwanted fat. A skillfully trained provider can determine if you are a candidate
for Kybella vs other surgical neck procedures.
The
procedure is safe and effects are evident even after one treatment!  if the asymmetrical side is subcutaneous fat, then Kybella can help to contour.
