I had two treatments of Coolsculpting over the past year and the doctor told me I do not have enough fat left for the device so she recommended one Kybella treatment to fine tune the results and finish off a small area under my chin. Has anyone mixed these two treatments and how were the results?

Answer: Combining CoolSculpting & Kybella Thank you for your question. While it is probably safe to follow CoolSculpting with Kybella, the more important question is making sure that you have the right diagnosis. Sometimes submandibular glands and neck muscles can masquerade as residual fat. In this case, Kybella is unlikely to help and may actually be harmful. This is one of the challenges and limitations of non-surgical treatments...they are modestly effective, but often leave patients dissapointed or spending more out of pocket than a more definitive procedure would have. To be certain, seek a second opinion from an independent physician prior to undergoing another treatment. Best wishes.

Answer: Kybella and Coolsculpting This is a reasonable approach - to use Kybella for the "clean-up" areas remaining after Coolsculpting. Alternatively, a little liposuction under local anesthesia could be performed.
