Im 5'5 and weigh 105 lbs but I have a extremely noticeable double chin when I just barely look down. By doing my own research thus far I am interested in possibly CoolSculpting or Sculpsure. What do you, the Doctors recommend as the best treatment for my case? How many treatments required and what is the cost? Thank You

Answer: Cool Mini and Kybella for Excess Fat Under the Chin Hi and thank you for your question! An in-person consultation is the only way to determine if you are a good candidate for the cool mini, because the measuring tool has to be placed under the chin. If the device doesn't fit appropriately than you could choose to do Kybella as an alternative. Both are good options for fat reduction and contouring the neck/submental area. Good Luck!

Answer: Don’t forget about fat dissolving injections! Coolsculpting is an excellent treatment for permanently removing fat under the chin, but don’t forget about fat dissolving injections! They are both excellent options, and both have their place in my practice. There are a number of reasons to use one instead of the other. Firstly, do you have enough submental fullness to fit the CoolMini vacuum applicator? If you do not have enough, the applicator may not stay in position during the treatment, and your results may be less than optimal. Although it is difficult to tell from your photo, you may fall into this category. The benefit of CoolMini is that there is less “downtime” than you will experience following fat dissolving injections. The swelling following fat dissolving injections can be quite severe for the first 24-72 hours, although this is actually a good sign that the treatment is having its desired effect. I would recommend a review with an experienced injector and Coolsculpting specialist who can assess you in person (as a two-dimensional photo doesn't tell the "full 3-D story" of your face), discuss your goals, and formulate a treatment plan. I would also suggest a review at a clinic where both Coolsculpting and fat dissolving injections are available, so you get an unbiased opinion!
