Hello, I am 5ft 9 174 lbs. I have had this double chin problem for a very long time . Recently I tried cool sculpting. At first it appeared to reduce my double chin but as time went on it came back. The specialist informed me I have loose skin . Is getting a neck lift the only option for this? What kind of cost should I be expecting for this surgery? If not surgery route, should I try kybella. Would losing weight to 160lbs help reduce this problem at all? Appreciate your honest feedback.
