I have a double chin it's not terrible but bothers me on pics of me from the side. I am 25 and a slim size 6-8 so I know it's not from being over weight. I think it's probably genetic as my mum has the same thing. What is the best treatment options for this

Answer: Double chin in thin person A double chin can commonly be a genetic trait, especially if you're thin. Sometimes, it is accompanied by a small chin as well. Treatment of a double chin can be performed with Coolsculpting, Kybella, or neck liposuction. Coolsculpting is most popular because it's a nonsurgical option, has little downtime, and gives good results. Neck liposuction is the most definitive and treats the entire double chin area. It has about a weeks worth of bruising and swelling but really no pain but because of the downtime, people often opt for coolsculpting. Kybella is performed less and less because it's a nonsurgical solution but has as much swelling as neck liposuction in many cases.

Answer: Submental Liposuction Submental fullness is a very common complaint and concern. There are many options available on the market today from coolsculpt, kybella and other noninvasive. This can also be addressed more fully with liposuction, using a small incision under the chin. Liposuction is my preferred approach as it can be done under local anesthesia in the office. Recovery is some swelling and bruising for 1-2 weeks. Kybella and coolscupt also cause swelling for 1-2 weeks and often require multiple treatments. Sometimes a chin implant is also essential to improve the jaw line and facial contours. Have a consultation with a specialist that has all of the tools to offer you. If you just see an injector you'll only learn about kybella.

Answer: What can I do for my double chin?? Ask Dr. Ellen... I could better answer your question if there were pictures provided. However, there are several options to treat submental (chin) fat. Since you are young, your skin is likely to be of good quality which makes you a good candidate for Kybella and liposuction. If you have loose or thin skin, then these options may not be the best fit.Kybella is a simple in office treatment that involves injections of an acid that dissolves the fat cells in your chin area. I suggest doing 3-4 treatments 6 weeks apart for optimal results. The downtime associated with kybella is having little-moderate swelling of the chin area for 1-2 weeks. Liposuction involves a short amount of time spent in the OR, and the results are more dramatic and obtained quicker than doing a series of Kybella injections. There is a 2 week down time of limited activity levels, and minimal swelling in the area for 4-6 weeks. In good heath,Dr. Ellen Mahony.
