Double-chin on ONE Side of Face. What is my Best Option? (photo)

I would get that fullness evaluated by a head and neck surgeon to rule out a growth that needs removal.  I would not worry about electrical stimulation.

Evaluation sooner rather than later is the rule of the day for you!

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank-you for sharing your question.

I would recommend an in-person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon.  If clinically indicated, an MRI would be helpful to determine if this asymmetry is due to an enlarged sub-mandibular gland or if it is in fact a fatty deposit. Correction of a double chin due to excess subcutaneous fat can be treated either though a surgical or non-invasive approaches. Liposuction of the chin and neck produces consistently good results for appropriate candidates. We are very excited with the development of several non-invasive techniques for correction of a double chin. We offer the Cool mini as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for the right candidate. Generally, two treatments are required separated by 4-6 weeks.  We also offer Kybella which is another non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Generally 3-6 treatments are needed separated by 4-6 weeks.  If there is mild to moderate skin laxity, combining the treatment with Ultherapy is an excellent option. 

Best regards,
