CoolSculpt Mini with one paddle directly underneath the chin or one on each side where they overlap in the middle?

The answer depends on the patient’s anatomy. For some patients, placing just the CoolMini applicator under the chin would be enough to kill the unwanted fat. Wider or fatter necks may require multiple applicators and overlapping placements.  Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert at CoolSculpting; he or she will recommend the best placement for your individual needs.

Hello and thank you for your question. Recommendation on which method to use depends on your anatomy and only after a consultation by an experienced and certified practice. Most practices offer complimentary consultations and this is where a proper treatment plan can be customized for your specific goals. You may want to learn more about Kybella too. It's an FDA-approved injectable to dissolve fat underneath the chin. We often do a combination therapy of CoolMini + Kybella to achieve optimal results (fat reduction and contouring). Hope this helps!

Without a picture it's hard for me to advise. It's all based on your assessment to begin with. If you go to a great and certified center (you can see that on coolsculpting.com) they should advise you correctly. I can tell you most clients benefit from 2 applicators overlapping slightly in the middle. Find a provider you trust and I bet you're feel comfortable. Remember most clients need this done twice as well!

Hello, Thank you for your question. One of these applications is not necessarily better than the other by itself. It’s dependent on what the patients needs. Some patients may not have enough in the area to treat with two cycles. Please consult with a local physician in person to determine the best course of action. Good luck! 

This is difficult to answer without pictures, because it can vary. I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates, but Kybella can be used as an alternative and needs to be combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting for good results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
