Question

I'm 44 and have some fat under my chin that I want to get rid of. My options are kybella, carboxytherapy or coolsculpting. I don't care about costs or recovery time. Which would give the best results?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

"For a double chin, InMode FaceTite with VASERlipo would give you the best result.

With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift / neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, Halo, or Erbium) and microneedling RF (Fractora, Morpheus8, PiXel8, Intensif) to improve the crepey skin and wrinkles. Overall, the neck can be treated with a combination approach:

1. Microneedling and laser treatments for texture
2. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau to help platysmal bands
3. Intensif, Fractora, PiXel8, or Morpheus8 microneedling RF for crepey skin and lifting
4. Injectable fillers like Belotero, Restylane Silk, Versa, and Juvederm Volbella to improve lines and folds
5. Face/neck lifting if sagging is prominent or premature, with or without platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. Renuvion (J-Plasma), ThermiRF, and InMode FaceTite/AccuTite for internal tightening
7. Ultherapy and Thermage for external tightening
8. Regular Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, or InMode Forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO NovaThreads or Silhouette InstaLift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production

When considering the treatment options for reducing fat under the chin, such as submental fat, it's important to note that the effectiveness of each procedure can vary depending on individual factors. However, I can provide some general insights to help you understand the potential benefits and considerations of each option: Kybella, Carboxytherapy, and CoolSculpting.

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid to dissolve fat cells in the targeted area. It is typically performed as a series of injections, and multiple treatment sessions may be necessary. Kybella can be effective in reducing submental fat and improving the contour of the chin and jawline.

Carboxytherapy involves the injection of medical-grade carbon dioxide gas into the treatment area, which is believed to stimulate blood flow and improve fat metabolism. While some practitioners suggest that carboxytherapy can be effective for reducing localized fat deposits, the scientific evidence supporting its efficacy is limited. Further research is needed to establish its effectiveness compared to other treatments.

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells. It has been FDA-approved for treating submental fat and has shown promising results in reducing chin fat. CoolSculpting typically requires multiple treatment sessions and may have some associated side effects, such as temporary numbness or mild discomfort.
Ultimately, the best treatment option for you will depend on various factors, including your specific anatomy, the amount of fat to be treated, and your desired results. It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced medical professional, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, who can assess your condition and provide personalized recommendations based on your individual needs.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

You are a perfect candidate for Kybella.  You may need a series of injections but its permanent and it works very well with no downtime but perhaps a bit of swelling.   
Best of luck!
