Am I a good candidate for CoolMini on my double chin? (Photos)

Hello,Thank you for your question and picture. Based on what can be seen it appears that you may be a good candidate for the CoolMini. However, you will need to consult with a local provider in person to determine if there is enough pinch-able fat in that area. They may be able to try attaching the hand-piece to determine if it will fit on you. If CoolMini isn't the right option for your, you may also look into Kybella. Good luck! 

Hello and thank you for your question. I would recommend Morpheus8 for under your chin. It will help dissolve fat and contour the jaw area. I would recommend doing a series of 3 treatments once a month.

Thank you for your question!
We offer the CoolMini as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for the right candidate. For fat localized to the sub mental chin, a single applicator per session may be required.  If there is significant fat more laterally in the neck, 2 or 3 overlapping applicators may be required to produce the optimal result.  We also offer Kybella and often use the two to develop customized a non-invasive alternative to surgical options. I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who offers all these options to discuss what is best for you.

Thank you for your question. From the photos you provided, it appears that you would be a good candidate for the CoolMini; howver, you do need an in-person assessment to determine if there is enough pinchable fat to fit in the applicator. People often use the CoolMini to get more definition in the chin area like you mentioned. If it turns out that you are not a candidate for CoolSculpting, there are other options out there that may be a better fit for you. Be sure to see a reputable provider that offers many different treatments. I hope this helps. Best of luck to you!

We often use Cool Mini in our practice to give patients a more defined jawline.  Rather than the traditional placement of the applicator, Cool Mini can be placed in a V pattern under the chin/jawline for a more defined look.  Not everyone is a candidate for this procedure and it really is best to get a face to face consultation to determine if there is sufficient fat and that the applicators can be placed properly based on your anatomy.   

You appear to be a candidate for CoolSculpting. The treatment would help rid of fat deposits under the chin and contour your jawline. It is a non-invasive procedure with no down time and for you I would recommend re-treatments to get maximum results. I would suggest seeking a certified CoolSculpting center near you and getting an in-depth consultation. Best of luck!

you may be a candidate if there is enough fat to pinch into the devise.. if there is then cool mini would be appropriate.. I prefer lipo over kybella because the recovery is actually easier , it takes one treatment and i can also treat under the mandible

Hi. From your photos I do not think there is enough pinch-able fat to fit into the CoolMini applicator. I would recommend you meet with a provider for an in person consultation to assess the area. At the consult that provider will apply the template to see if you are a good fit. If you are not another option for you is Kybella which is an injectable medication used to reduce fat cells. Kybella typically takes 2-5 treatments spaced one month apart, but is another great option to shape the sub-mental area. Hope this information was helpful! 

The issue with cool mini is that the applicator has to fit the pocket of fat.  If it doesn't, you may not get a good result.  Consider kybella if you are not offered cool mini.  It can be customized to your anatomy without any difficulty and is a series of treatments/injections to dissove fat under the chin.

It is difficult to evaluate your candidacy for treatment without an examination. If there is submental (under the chin) fat identified then you may be a good candidate for either Kybella or CoolSculpting. While Kybella and CoolSculpting will both reduce the submental fat, they do so in different ways and with different post treatment experiences. My preference is to initially utilize the CoolMini on appropriate candidates and then use Kybella, if needed, for fine tuning. I recommend a consultation with an experienced CoolScultpting/Kybella provider so you may gain insight to the best treatment options after an in-person examination.
Be Well
