During my consultation I was told that an applicator right under my chin would not fit, but they could do two applicators overlapping but it may be uncomfortable. It would also be closer to my jaw. Is this safe a safe procedure on someone with my amount t of submental fat? I so read about fullness in the throat as a side effect. Can you explain what that is and how long it may last? Thank you !!!!

Answer: Candidates for Under Chin CoolSculpt You could do CoolSculpt Mini if the applicator was able to fit your under chin and attach appropriately to your fat. But for a 25% reduction in the under chin, your results might not be worth the CoolSculpt chase. You may be a better candidate for Kybella, which is deoxycholic acid, that kills fat cells as well. If you are seeking more jawline definition, I would also have you consider Juvederm Voluma filler to the jawline. You should seek in-person consultation with a board-certified Face and Neck Plastics surgeon who has demonstrated experience with lower face treatments. Best, Dr. Anil Shah

Answer: Cool Mini Works Looking at your pictures I estimate that CoolSculpting with the Cool Mini is a great option. In our practice we have had tremendous success with the Cool Mini applicator. Results have been favorable with minimum negative side effects. If the mini applicator does not fit directly in the center of the chin there is an option of placing them angled and overlapping the applicators in the center. We have done many patients with this approach and have loved the results. Kybella is an option as well but with Coolsculpting there will be less swelling. I would set up a Coolsculpting Consultation with a provider that has experience with both of these options. Wishing you beautiful success, Dr. Tonya Boudreaux
