If cool sculpting is performed by expert physician, then it is safe for the chin area with out any complications regarding the thyroid. I recommend mentioning your complete medical history to the treating physician. Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction for the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the patient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressive in the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.My best,Sheila Nazarian, MD, MMMBeverly Hills, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

The new CoolMini won't be in the same area as the thyroid and won't affect a person with Graves Disease. The thyroid is much lower.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend speaking to the physician who did your sclerotherapy treatment as every physician has their own protocols. Regards,
This is an extremely rare side effect from coolsculpting. I have never seen it in my practice. The only way to treat this is with liposuction. You should be re-evaluated by your treating physician who can determine if this is truly paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. Coolsculpting has a p...
