Kybella vs. Coolsculpting Mini: Which treatment has better results for fat under the chin? (Photo)

In my practice the best outcomes are from vaser/thermi combination but non invasive options like coolmini and kybella can be done to get some improvement but rarely can they contour and shape the jawline.  Best, Dr. emer.

Thank you for this excellent question. I am excited that we have three options on the market now and I expect many patients will be using one or all three treatment modalities. The Coolsculpting mini will get a broad reduction of the submental fat but has a little more difficult to customize the procedure as there is only one applicator size. Kybella allow for a customized treatment for every patient based on their physical exam. The Profound SubQ allows for some tightening of the neck tissue in addition to fat reduction.  I would visit a plastic surgery a practice that offers multitude of non-surgical options and who can also discuss with you the surgical options.

Thank you for your question. Kybella is the most effective treatment in contouring the jawline because it addresses the problem by addressing submental fullness (or double chin) due to submental fat. I suggest you consult with an experienced board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

This is most likely a matter of opinion.  Personally, I prefer Kybella for the reason that I think it can be delivered more precisely than CoolSculpting.  CoolSculpting comes with a one size fits all neck device to freeze the fat.  Fat which is supercooled with go away.   Kybella can be dosed so that more is give in areas where you have more fat and then tapered into areas where there is less.  For this reason I believe you can achieve more precision and therefore a better result with Kybella which can be adjusted to precisely fit your neck shape and size.

Thank you for
your question Anna B.. Kybella is the first and
thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double
chin. Cool Sculpting is also used for this purpose. I find that those with a minimal amount of fat respond better to Kybella than to Cool Sculpting. Both treatments require a series of at least 2 treatments. I have not seen Kybella migrate to other areas. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
