I had Cool Sculpting done to my double chin about a month and a half ago. 2 weeks ago I started noticing flabby skin starting to develop. I'm worried this is a lasting side effect and that it might get worse with time. I am 31, and am not ready for a turkey neck! Can anyone tell me if this is a normal reaction to cool sculpting on the double chin , and if it goes away?
Answer: Will the new loose skin under my chin go away with time? Hello and thank-you for your question.

Answer: Cool Mini Hi and thank you for your question! We are loving the cool mini results and we are seeing skin tightening with this treatment. Its possible there was some loose skin there and its more noticeable right now since the fat is diminishing.? However, The skin should continue to retract, as full results can take 3 months. You may need to consider a skin tightening treatment, if it doesn't resolve completely and its still bothersome. I recommend you go into the practice after the 3 months for follow up pictures an they can compare the pre and post treatment pictures. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens

Answer: Loose skin under neck It is normal for skin to feel a bit loose under chin after fat is removed. Skin has been shown to tighten with coolsculpting, even though it was designed to treat fat. It takes longer for skin to shrink than for fat to go away, so you can expect it to improve. Consider Skin Tyte (infrared light) by Sciton in the interim to tighten up the skin more quickly!

Answer: Skin Laxity under the Chin Hi Jennifer !The great thing about Coolsculpting is that that fat slowly flushes out so that the skin left behind has time to retract. I recommend doing a series of RadioFrequency treatments on the Neck after 3 months to achieve additional tightening. Combine RadioFrequency with a great neck cream like Nectifirm by Revision and you will be in good shape. Thanks for your question!

Answer: Submental Skin CoolSculpting allows the skin to contract slowly, which helps reduce any skin elasticity issues. It has now been FDA cleared that CoolSculpting of under the chin can improve the appearance of lax skin. I would recommend waiting the full amount of time before final results are determined. First round of treatment gives about 20-25% reduction and with a re-treatment, you may see more improvement.
