I'm 31 & have always had a round face (despite being relatively slim with weight/height of around 105lbs/5 ft 1). Over the last year or two, I have noticed what seems like jowls around my jawline. I am not sure if they're jowls or excess fat (or if that's the same thing) but the lack of definition & bulges is really getting me down! I have heard CoolSculpting could be an option but would like to know how bad my problem is & if would require 2 treatments/tightening treatments too. Thanks all!
Answer: Contouring the Jawline Patients interested in contouring their jawline have a few different options available for them, including CoolSculpting, Kybella, and liposuction. CoolSculpting, using the new CoolMini applicator, has helped many patients in reducing submental fullness. Sometimes, patients can benefit from multiple treatments in this area. Kybella and liposuction have also shown great results for patients. To determine which procedure is best for you, consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to communicate your concerns and aesthetic goal. Good luck!

Answer: Contouring the Chin with Coolsculpting versus VASER, ThermiRF, Kybella, Thermage, Ultherapy, Exilis, PDO Threads Although effective, I find that most of my patients who have done a coolmini end up wanting liposuction to get more contouring. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates but Kybella can be used as an alternative with or without thermage/ultherapy/exilis. See an expert for a formal evaluation. PDO threads also help and give immediate lifting. Best. Dr. Emer.

Answer: Options Hello, Thank you for your question. It can be difficult to asses from those pictures, so i highly recommend that you visit a cosmetic dermatologist in your area for a full consultation. That being said, based on your concerns coolSculpting may be an option if there is enough fat in the area, however that can't be decided through those pictures. There is another treatment that may be better suited for you, Ulthera. It is a device that combines ultrasound technology with heat to stimulate a collagen response. This will help to lift and tighten the area, creating a stronger jawline. You should see great results, especially because you have youth on your side. Again you should consult a doctor before doing anything, so that you spend your money wisely and get the best treatment! Good luck!

Answer: Defining my jawline - will Coolsculpting do it? Thank you for your question. Your profile does not display enough submental fat which is required for the Coolsculpting procedure and is very hard to make that decision without evaluating you in person. It is possible you might benefit from skin tightening treatments, have a consultation with an expert physician/surgeon who can guide you in the right direction. Best of luck Dr. Shanthala

Answer: Coolsculpting I would see an experience physician for an in person evaluation. You look like you need more skin tightening of the lower face. From the photos it doesn't appear that you have a significant amount of submental fat.
