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 givetrue advice would be an in-person exam. Both procedures are safe and effective with minimal downtime. Please see a board-certifiedplastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.Best of luck!Dr. Schwartz
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,
Great question! Both CoolMini and Kybella are great treatment options to rid the "double chin" area. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to better evaluate the area and explain which treatment will work best for you. Good luck in your search!
Both are equally wonderful, and effective, options to rid the dreaded "double chin"! It's best to consult with your surgeon for evaluation as to which procedure would be best suited for you. Good luck!
Coolsculpting and Kybella are both now available for non-invasive fat reduction of the neck. The 2 procedures are very different. Coolmini uses cold-induced fat cell reduction via an applicator that sits in place for about an hour. There can be some numbness and mild swelling. Depending on the amount of fat and distribution, patients may need multiple tips and treatments. These treatments work well in those with a moderate amount of fat. Kybella is an injection that breaks down fat cells. It is a relatively quick procedure; however, there is generally more swelling in the first few days than with coolsculpting. Results tend to be best with patients with minimal fat that need some additional tightening; there seems to be more tightening from these injections than from coolsculpting in my opinion. For best results, go to a provider who is well verses in the non-invasive and invasive procedures to get a more realistic view of expected results with each modality.
Fantastic question!There are multiple factors that go into answering this question...If there is a lot of fat, liposuction is your best bet. This can be done in-office under local anesthesia.If surgery is not something you are comfortable with, Coolsculpting would be your best bet financially... as long as the Coolsculpting applicator fits and you are okay with more time to see full results (than liposuction). If your jaw is too small or the amount of fat too little, the CoolMini may not fit.Lastly, if you have a small amount of fat and the CoolMini applicator doesn't fit your face, I would go with Kybella. There is a significant recovery period with Kybella and the product is not cheap. That is why I reserve it for people with a small amount of submental fat.My best,Dr. Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram
Thank you foryour question moeh25. Kybella is the first andthus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the doublechin. Cool Sculpting is another treatment for this area. I find that those with mild to moderate fullness benefit most from a series of Kybella treatments while those with severe to extreme fullness benefit more from a series of Cool Sculpting treatments, sometimes followed by a series of Kybella treatments. Pleaseconsult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
