Would CoolSculpting be beneficial for my jawline area? (Photo)

Hi there, and thanks for your question!

Based on the photo provided, it does appear that you would be a candidate for CoolSculpting under the chin. You will see up to a 25% reduction of fat in the area. Many young people choose this treatment becase there is no downtime or scars and the results are permanent. I Recommend that you consult with a local provider in person to determine what the best course of action would be.

Best of luck!

Coolsculpting, or CoolMini to be more precise, is intended to treat the excess fat under the chin area. The technology is not currently intended to treat the actual jawline, though.

Based on your photos, I believe you might be a good candidate for CoolMini, the handpiece used with the CoolSculpting device to reduce fat and sculpt the area under the chin. The size and shape of the handpiece allows it to conform nicely to the natural shape of the chin, ensuring the most efficient fat reduction possible. The procedure does not require any anesthesia or downtime. You may need more than one treatment session to achieve full results. Another option is chin liposuction. This procedure is done using local anesthesia and requires a few days of downtime afterward. However, the results can be dramatic after a single treatment session. Whichever procedure you choose, make sure it is performed by an experienced, board-certified dermatologist with extensive training in the procedure to ensure an optimal outcome. 

if you want contouring on your jaw you really need face tite (see link) and some fillers on the jaw and chin.  coolsculpting will do very little for shaping your jaw and.or tightening.
With significant neck sagging you would need a neck/face lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). at the same time lasers (fraxel,  co2 or erbium( or microneedling RF (fractora, intensif) can be . performed to improve the crepe skin or wrinkles.  You need a formal consultation, as the neck can be treated with a combination approach:
1. micro needling and lasers for texture
2. botox, disport or xeomin to help platysmal bands
3. intensif or fractora RF microneedling for crepe skin and lifting
4. fillers like belotero, restylane silk, juvederm volbella to improve lines and folds
5. neck/face lifting if sagging is prominent or early starting +/- platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. J plasma/Renuvion, thermiRF, inmode facetite for internal tightening
7. ultherapy and thermage for external tightening
8. regular Venus legacy, exilis ultra, or inmode forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO novathreads or silhouette instalift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production

If there is fat in the area and you fit the applicator, CoolSculpting is a wonderful procedure for you. You may also do Kybella which is okay for application on the jawline area. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

Thank you for your question. 
While it is difficult to say without a more thorough investigation into the particular case, I frequently recommend CoolSculpting to my patients who have under-the-chin issues like the one you describe.

Thanks for the photos-it really helps to understand your problem better. From what I can see, you have very small amounts of fat deposition that are preventing good jawline definition. CoolSculpting works great when large amounts of fat are present but not as well when there are small amounts present. You might see a small improvement in the area directly under your chin, but not in the area directly over and under your jawline and mandible bone.  Kybella is another non-surgical option that works better when there are smaller fat deposits present although it is not FDA approved for areas except under the chin, although some physicians will use it more under the jawline and mandible bone. A really good minimally invasive option would be FaceTite since this can be used to provide customized fat sculpting and skin tightening of the entire jawline and under chin areas. There are only a few days downtime and results are seen much more quickly than with CoolSculpting where final results for a single treatment can take up to 4 months. I would recommend getting consultation with a physician who is experienced in all 3 modalities, including FaceTite who can personally assess your face and neck and advise you as to the best treatment to help you achieve the results you desire.

The cool-sculpting applicator does not have the precision of a liposuction cannula. If you have excess fat around your mandible, nothing will define the jawline better than the experienced hands of a plastic surgeon with the liposuction cannula in them. I hope this helps on good luck from New York City plastic surgery

Hi,Thank you for your question and your photo.  Coolsculpting is an excellent means of reducing superficial submental fat.  If your fat is deep to the muscle or you have skin laxity, other measures are indicated.  Keep in mind, it results in gradual improvement and more than one treatment may be needed. I would suggest consulting with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who can offer  multiple options to determine which is best for you.Good Luck,Beverly Friedlander, MD 

Hello and thanks for your question. I would say coolsculpting could be an option but also in combination with filler to strengthen and tighten the jawline. We would also often combine this with energy based devices such as Ultracel to really lift and sculpt the lower face.  Best wishes
