Can CoolMini CoolSculpting be used on the side of the neck as well?

Question

I have used this procedure in the usual way with great results but I would also like to use it on the side so that my jaw bone becomes more visible. Can this be done?

Janet Allenby, DO · Answer

Hello,Thank you for your question. CoolMini can be applied in that area, under the right circumstances. You need to have a long enough jaw line, and enough fat. Please consult with your physician to determine if you are the right candidate. Good luck!

Susan Buenaventura, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes you can use cool mini on the side of the neck if your anatomy dictates this.   Be sure to go to an experienced Cool sculpting practice a proper assessment is done.   Planning for coolsculpting is a lot like planning for a surgical procedure.  Good luck!

If there is a lot of centralized submental tissue and the jawline is not well defined, I debulk by doing a singular treatment in the center and then one one each side under the chin. This reduces the initial volume of fat under the chin and the second treatment helps contour the face and define the jawline.

I usually overlap the applicators to treat the side of the neck/underneath the jawline. Usually 2 treatments suffice. Sometimes, I go back with some kybella to fine tune further, if needed.

The Cool mini can be used on the lateral neck for unwanted fat.  Two of the Coolminis are slightly overlapped, treating a broader area than one alone. The procedure is typically repeated in 6 weeks.  I hope this helps.  Lana Long, MD

Yes! We have gotten great results with lateral placement. Of course you will need to be measured by a medical professional to verify that there is enough fat for the applicator to fit. Good luck!

Susan Van Dyke, MD · Answer

The CoolMini is one of the many different sized and shaped applicators used to customized your CoolSculpting procedure.  As long as there is adequate fat in an area and one of the applicators fits the space well, that area can be treated.  The consultation process is very important because the applicators can be fitted to your body and an effective plan outlined.  This can certainly include areas of excess fat on knees, chin, and elsewhere.

The company has obtained approval for some lateral placement with neck/chin treatments. It will depend on your fat distribution. Contact a provider who has been trained about the new technique. Best Wishes, Maurice Vick MD
