Options for a young (20s) patient with under chin/neck fat --otherwise thin and in good shape. (photo)

Question

I have always carried a lot of weight around my face causing self esteem issues... As I've gotten older and these issues have only become more noticeable I wonder what options I would have to fix a double chin/fatty skin deposits over the upper neck to improve my jawline.

Hello,Thank you for your question and photo. Based on what can be seen here it appears that you would be a good candidate for the Cool-Mini. This will permanently reduce the fat in that area. You may need more than one treatment. However you need to consult with a local physician to determine the best course of action. Good luck!

Thanks for your questions! Being that you are in your 20s you would probably want to go the nonsurgical route for your submental area. CoolSculpting and Kybella are both wonderful options that will help make the area smaller and more defined. You would want to make an appointment with a doctor that has experience with both procedures to determine which one is best for you. CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells and cause them to kill themselves off through Cryolipolysis. It is a slow process, but there will be no downtime. Kybella is an injectable that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat by destroying fat cells. There is some swelling involved, but you will experience some extra tightening of the skin once the swelling goes down. Hope this info helps, good luck with everything!
