Would you recommend, Kybella or Coolsculpting for my chin? (Photos)

Question

Im leaning more towards Coolsculpting because of the little to no downtime and also I feel like I don't have that serious of a double chin that I need multiple sessions of kybella. I'm hoping for more of a define jaw and hoping to retrieve that by burning the fat on my chin.

Hello and thank you for your question. If you are looking to dissolve fat and contour the jaw, I would recommend Morpheus8. It is a microneedling treatment with radio frequency. That will be your best bet to achieve the results you are looking for.

Joel Schlessinger, MD · Answer

As with any cosmetic procedure, realistic expectations should be the first and foremost consideration.  We all love the idea of improving ourselves, but if your expectations simply can't be achieved, it leads to disappointment and frustration.  In your case, the chin area looks great as it is.  Yes, if you move your chin and 'crumple' the area, you will see some excess areas that look like fat, but there really isn't any amount of fat there. 
In situations like this, I would just work on this with things like NuFace (electric stimulation) and wait as there may be a time when Kybella is a reasonable thought.  Right now, I think it (or any other surgical treatment)  wouldn't result in any significant improvement and could even lead to a worsening of the area.  Best luck!
