Which procedure would be better to get rid of a double chin? (Photo)

The best non invasive way to minimize submental fat is with sculpsure. Kybella treatments are painful with a lot of swelling and bruising and may take up to 3 treatments. Coolsculpting , in my opinion, does not achieve as good a result as the new sculpsure applicator for the neck. The best results are with liposuction using microcannulas and can be performed under local anesthesia.

Thank you for your question. Kybella is an innovative injectable that can dramatically reduce submental fatty tissue, sculpting the chin in a quick office visit with no downtime. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy.
Best wishes,

My favorite procedure is Precision laser assisted liposuction of the neck, because it is fast, definitive and helps shrink the skin.  Loose skin would not be a problem for you, but for some patients it is beneficial to be able to shrink the skin as well as remove fat from the neck.Another good alternative is Kybella, which usually takes several treatments.  This involves injection of a fat-dissolving enzyme under the skin.  It is quite successful, but you have to wait a while until the fat is absorbed.  It is also accompanied by some swelling and mild discomfort during the first week.

Thanks for your question and photos. There are a few options available that could potentially correct a double chin and define facial features. Non invasive solutions include Kybella and laser treatments, which in my opinion have less than optimal results. Surgical option would be liposculpture of the areas of concern and complimenting that with a small chin implant for a more defined jaw line and profile. Best to get an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss individual procedures that suit you.

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 needs to be combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting for good results. A chin implant would give more definition. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The available methods to reduce a double chin would include CoolSculpting, Kybella and liposuction.  Liposuction can normally produce the most improvement in one session, Kybella normally requires multiple treatment sessions and CoolSculpting frequently needs more than one session to obtain the desired result.     All of these options can produce improvement so it is just a matter of cost and time.  

At a complimentary consult we would assess the area under your chin.  Coolsculpting will reduce the fullness under your chin.  BAsed on the evaluation in our office we could tell you if you need more than one treatment with Coolsculpting.  WE could also use Exilis ultra to smooth the area, tighten the skin and reduce the fullness in addition to Coolsculpting.  Thanks for your question and good luck.

SculpSure would be an excellent treatment choice to diminish the fat and sculpt the area.Best to you,

Thanks for your question. I find that my patients get the best results for submental (double chin) fat reduction when combining treatments. While there are many treatments to reduce submental fat, I concentrate on making the whole area look tighter, smoother and more lifted. While we offer other options, SculpSure is my choice for treating the double chin, which I combine with Ultherapy and Botox. Ultherapy will help tighten the skin in the area and Botox will smooth the wrinkles around the neck area. This will give you an improved, natural appearance of the area.

SculpSure for neck contouring: Remove unwanted stubborn under chin fat in 25 minutes Get a New Neck without downtime, any time of the day or time of the year!No NeedlesNo SurgeryNo suctioningNo downtimeNo ScarsThe applicator was specifically designed to target the selected fat area without affecting nearby nerves and/or blood vessels. During clinical trials the temperature and the spread of heat was very carefully monitored to ensure its safety and efficacy before bong fully cleared by the FDA. The timing between heating and cooling of the under chin applicator is different between the timing of heating and cooling present in the body applicators. SculpSure is designed by the same company which created SmartLipo, so you can be absolutely assured that the absolute highest safety standards were applied in the creation, research, and development of SculpSure treatment for various body parts. Under chin area being very important.
