When the Coolsculpting "Cool Mini" applicator is released later this year, will an off-label use be to reduce unwanted fat around the lower jaw, cheek & jowl area? It seems like this would be a less risky alternative to micro liposuction that has potential side effects such as dents and nerve damage....
Answer: CoolSculpting Mini Applicator is FDA Cleared The FDA recently cleared the CoolSculpting Mini Applicator for use in submental area. The applicator was cleared for specific use following the protocol used in the studies. As physicians gain experience with the applicator, off-label use will increase. I would recommend you find an experienced CoolSculpting physician that is familiar with the anatomy of the neck and jowls who also has experience with surgically treating the areas. The product should be available at the end of October 2015. Trey Aquadro, M.D.Auburn, AL

Answer: Cool Mini treats fat necks / double chins not jowls I would not recommend jowl or cheek treatment with the CoolMini as the applicator is not designed architecturally to fit those areas and there can be temporary nerve weakness possibly despite it not being a surgical treatment or liposuction.

Answer: Coolsculpting Mini Produces Improvement in Your Double Chin That Lasts Hello and thank-you for your question and photos.We offer the Cool mini as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for the right candidate. For optimal results, 2 treatments are generally required. The treatments are separated by 4-6 weeks. If there is mild to moderate skin laxity, combining the treatment with Ultherapy is an option. We also offer Kybella and often use the 3 technologies to develop customized surgical alternative to surgical options. Coosculptin can not be used in the cheek or jowls. Although I would anticipate that you will have a significant improvement in you profile with Coolsculpting Mini, you may consider a neck lift for optimal improvement. I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who offers all these options to discuss what is best for you. Best regards,Andrew Lyos MD, FACS

Answer: Cool mini off label uses Thank you for your question. The Cool-mini applicator is great for small areas of pinch able fat such as the double chin region (where it is FDA indicated) or regions like the armpit/bra fat, back rolls etc..A physical exam would be needed to discuss the suitability of this as option for you in more detail.
