Aqualyx for double chin area or liposuction? (Photo)

Question

I have a double chin which I want rid of, I am only slim however it will not budge! Nowhere in my area offers 'cool mini' and kybella is yet to be approved for use in the UK so aqualyx and or lipo are my only options! I have asked about lipo and have been told the area is too small - any reccomendations are welcome

You appear to be a great candidate for Aqualyx. Though a treatment may still not be FDA approved, that does not necessarily mean it is ineffective or unsafe. It can take years for a treatment to become FDA approved and it is a very complicated process. What you should be more concerned with, is who the treatment is being offered by and the circumstances it is offered in. Always ensure the treatment is performed by an experienced surgeon in a clinical environment. You can ask about the surgeon's experience of the particular treatment and find out how many times they have performed the treatment, in addition to any unwanted side effects they may have encountered to give you a better idea. You can also ask to see before and after photos. Be weary of any treatment that is discounted or on offer, as price can be a reflection of quality. Aqualyx is a great non-surgical alternative to Liposuction if you do not have much fat under the chin. It works by liquefying the fat cell, destroying it permanently. The fat cells are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system (i.e. through urination).

Liposuction of the neck offers a one time permanent fat removal in the neck. For many examples, please see the link and the video below
