What would be better for a double chin Coolsculpting or Kybella?

Both Kybella and CoolSculpting are great ways to remove a double chin without surgery. I’d recommend Kybella when you have just a small amount of fat you’d like to melt away that doesn’t fit into a CoolSculpting cup. Each Kybella injection removes about 20% of fat and also contracts your skin. CoolSculpting might be the better choice when your double chin is large. Each treatment usually does best in a series. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will help you decide which nonsurgical double-chin removal process is best for you.

Thank you for your question.  A photo would be helpful.  Good candidates for kybella have good skin tone and fullness in the sub mental region. You will need 3-5 treatments of kybella for good results. Each treatment usually requires 2 vials of kybella.  Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best Wishes

Our facility has had an extensive experience with both Kybella and with 2 coolsculpting devices.  In my opinion, the active ingredient in kybella causes a  higher degree of skin tightening than we previously thought.  Therefore, I favor it as a nonsurgical fat reducer and "double-chin" solution because it tightens better than coolsculpt.Obviously, Kybella does not replace a facelifting procedure if that is needed -- but our results with it have been extremely promising as a nonsurgical option.Best of luck!

I appreciate your question.

Both devices are very successful at treating submental fat.  The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.  Both procedures are safe and effective with minimal downtime. 

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.Best of luck!

Thank you for your question, moeh25. Kybella is the best treatment for "double chin" fat. It is a quick non-invasive treatment with minimal recovery time of little to no discomfort and can provide tremendous results for contouring and improving your jaw line. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,
