Which procedure works best to eliminate a double chin CoolSculpting or chin liposuction? (Photo)

Both can be effective for the right candidate.  CS removes less fat than lipo, so often patients need to have it repeated a time or two.  Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.  I've attached a link where you can start your search. 

Thanks for asking your question about your double chin.  This is a frequent question that I get in the office.  The fact is that today, there are multiple different options for treatment of this area from completely non-invasive with no downtime (CoolMini handpiece) to injections with mild downtime (Kybella) to ways to heat the fat and tighten the skin with a needle opening in the skin (ThermiTight/FaceTite) to finally neck or chin liposuction.  There are also many factors that play into which modality you choose from how invasive you want to be, what is your “downtime tolerance”, will you have loose skin afterwards or do you need the skin tightened, and how quickly you want the fat gone (1 session vs. multiple sessions).   I suggest you come into the office for a consult where we can discuss all of these options and have an evaluation.  All the best!

Both CoolSculpting and chin liposuction can achieve great results when trying to get rid of a double chin that isn’t responding to traditional weight loss methods like diet and exercise. But if you’re looking for a nonsurgical solution with minimal to no downtime, CoolSculpting would be the better fit. I would suggest scheduling a consultation with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options in more detail. Good luck with whichever option you choose.
