I really want to CoolSculpt my chin but the chin piece doesn’t fit my shape. Can I try CoolSmooth?

Question

My chin fat seems pretty flat so I think a flat surface would cover most of it. I don’t want to do Kybella or deoxycholate (didn’t work on my arms and got super swollen).

Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS · Answer

The Coolsmooth applicator is too large to fit on the double chin area. If the CoolMini applicator doesn't fir for you then you can consider other options such as Kybella fat dissolving injections or ThermiTight. Sculpsure is another alternative, but in my opinion is not as effective as the others. Make sure you are under the care of an experienced provider. Best wishes.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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 gets better results when combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

There are multiple options for neck fat from invasive to non-invasive.  Depending on the amount of fat and the laxity of the area, different treatments may work best.  For small amounts of fat with a little laxity, Kybella works well.  For more moderate amounts of fat, coolsculpting works better; sometimes multiple tips are needed to contour the neck.  Sculpsure has recently been approved for treatment of necks and can work on areas that don't have enough tissue for coolsculpting.  For people with more fat or laxity, laser liposuction or surgical lifts may be more appropriate.  Unfortunately, the coolsmooth wouldn't work on the neck area.  Meet with a few providers; we wary of medspa providers who are not Board-Certified in Dermatology or Plastic Surgery.  Best of luck.

Hello,Thank you for your question. Unfortunately CoolSmooth is too large for the area under the chin and will not provide a quality treatment. Please consult with a local physician to determine other options. Good luck!

Without seeing you in person it's difficult to say for sure, but if CoolSculpting doesn't turn out to be the best option I would certainly suggest Kybella injections to destroy the fat!
