I am a 25 year-old with some slight genetic chin fat that does not respond significantly to diet/exercise. I would like to have a more defined profile with hopefully little to no scarring or downtime. I am overall healthy, and in a normal weight range (B.M.I of 23). What procedure would I see the best results from?
Answer: Kybella, Coolsculpting, and Liposuction...all good for a double chin! All of the options are good, but liposuction does involve a tiny scar with a few days of downtime. From your photos, it looks like Kybella might be the way to go as Coolsculpting requires excess skin to form a good seal. You don't appear to have a ton of excess skin, just a little excess fat. Kybella is great! It may take several sessions to get your desired results, but the "downtime" is only a few days of swelling with no scars at all.

Answer: Kybella, CoolSculpting, or Liposuction? Kybella, CoolSculpting, or Liposuction All Good for Chin Contouring The nice thing is that you can’t go wrong with either Kybella, CoolSculpting, or Liposuction for chin contouring. All of them work fabulously. You choose the best one based on your needs. If you want immediate results, though with a little downtime and a compression bandage, go for liposuction. If you’re willing to wait, choose a series of either CoolMini or Kybella. Then it comes down to a choice of whether you’d prefer cold therapy or deoxycholic acid injections. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will help you choose the best method for your needs.

Answer: Fat under chin treatment Given your age, skin quality, and amount of submental fullness you would benefit from either Kybella or liposuction. They will both give you permanent fat removal and a more defined jawline. Kybella will require more than one treatment and will have swelling associated with the procedure for 4-5 days after the first treatment. Subsequent treatments will have less swelling and therefore less downtime. The procedure is minimally invasive and no compression neck wraps are required. Liposuction is more invasive, has more downtime, requires compression neck garments, but typicallly requires only one treatment session. Please consult a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced in these procedures. Best wishes.

Answer: Kybella Thank you for your question! You may need a combination of all three. I would start with Kybella first and see if you are happy with the results from that. If Kybella works and you maintain your current weight, no further treatment should be needed. You can always move on to fat freezing if you're not completely satisfied with the results of Kybella. Ultimately, an office visit would be needed and your physician can recommend the best treatment for you based on your goals.
