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: Treating double chin? Kybella, coolsculpting or liposuction candidate Both Kybella or neck liposuction are good options and will improve the double chin. It depends on your lifestyle and personality which would be better for you. Kybella is best for patients that: 1) Do not want surgery 2) Are not surgical candidates 3) Not willing to wear a compression dressing around the face for 1 week 4) Patient- The results of Kybella will take months Kybella take 1-3 treatments every 6 weeks. Patient will develop swelling and possible bruising after each injection that may last a few days. The benefit of Kybella is each treatment is quick and completed in the office. However, some patients need more than one treatment to get desired results. Neck Liposuction is best for patients that: 1) Want a single treatment 2) One recovery time- Downtime for neck liposuction require wearing a wrap around face for 1 week. 3) Less painful 4) Quicker results 5) Cost is a concern Neck liposuction is a quick surgical procedure that can be complete while the patient is awake. It cost around the same price a Kybella and can be less in patients with heavier necks. The single recovery of neck liposuction may be a better option for some patients. I hope this helps.

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.
