I first had Coolsculpting to treat submental fullness/under chin area, after which I had one vial of Kybella to treat a very small amount of uneven fat that remained. It's been 2 months since the Kybella treatment and I have about half inch of hard, puffy skin under my chin. The skin looks puffier than after the Coolsculpting had resolved.
