After a thyroidectomy, I have a big double chin. Can I get CoolSculpting for this?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

John M. Hilinski, MD · Answer

From a strict anatomical standpoint, it is probably fine to undergo Coolsculpting of the submental fat excess since it is distinct from the thyroid region. Of course, this assumes you have healed appropriately from the thyroid surgery. Consult a Coolsculpting specialist for specific advice.

Ramandeep Sidhu, MD · Answer

In order to say you are a good candidate for coolsculpting you will need an in person consultation to access the area and determine if its excess fat or just laxity. In general thyroidectomy is not a contraindication for coolsculpting.

It's tough to say whether or not your a good candidate which photos or an in person examination. Having your thyroid removed is not a contraindication for coolsculpting. I recommend setting up a consultation with a provider in your area. Best,~Dr. Sieber
