I’m frustrated with my double chin. I had one consultation at a clinic that offers Coolsculpting but they said my issue is more loose skin and tried to sell me on Forma skin tightening treatment in addition to one session of Coolsculpting. I’ll try to get a second opinion but wondering if it’s obvious to any providers here how I could best get a taught appearance under my chin. I’m in London and they don’t do Kybella (Belkyra) here yet. 36 years old.
Answer: CoolSculpting and Skin Tightening For Double Chin Hello and thank you for your question and pictures. The issue with your double chin, like most people, is a combination of fat and loose skin. I think you would benefit the most from a treatment such as ThermiTight which can both melt fat and tighten loose skin and most often needs only a single treatment session. This will save you a significant amount of money compared to CoolSculpting, Kybella, and Forma. Make sure you see an experienced physician who has multiple treatments for the double chin to ensure you are getting an honest, unbiased opinion. Best wishes.

Answer: Chin Sculpting Options Thank you for your question and photos. Based on the images, I would address two concerns: submental fat underneath the chin as well as skin laxity. I would probably recommend liposculpture in the treatment area to address the submental fat and combine this with ThermiTight, a skin tightening device that can be used at the same time. These procedures have some downtime, and thus, if you would like a non-invasive approach, I would recommend two overlapping CoolMini cups. CoolSculpting not only helps get rid of fat, but also causes some skin tightening. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist with extensive experience in chin contouring to ensure your procedure is safe and successful.

Answer: Multiple options Traditional tumescent liposuction suction could remove the excess fat and also tighten the loose skin of your neck. This addresses both your anatomical concerns in one treatment. Liposuction of your neck and jawline can be readily accomplished under local anesthesia. Your downtime would be as little as 1-2 days with bruising lasting 7-10 days. Please seek out a consultation with a plastic surgeon experienced in all aspects of facial rejuvenation. Best of luck.

Answer: I think you have a laxity issue with a small amount of additional fat. Hello and thank you for the good pictures. I think you have a laxity issue with a small amount of additional fat. With these two issues in mind, Kybella would not be your treatment of choice. MiniFX would be very nice for you. The bipolar radiofrequency would tighten your skin and the fat busting would help your small amount of fat. I hope this helps your decision making process.

Answer: Coolsculpt for double chin Hi there,Based off of your photos, you have a combination of skin laxity and fullness. Coolsculpt is a great non-invasive fat reduction treatment. It will help to get rid of the fullness, but it will not address the skin laxity. A synergistic approach using both Coolsculpt as well as some type of skin tightening method will be the best treatment plan for your specific concern. There are many different skin tightening options out there, such as Radio Frequency or Ultrasound technology. If you're not comfortable with the treatment plan your service provider suggested, I recommend having one or two more consultations other offices nearby before making a final decision.
