I am looking to get CoolMini on my chin/neck area but I have 6 titanium dental implants in my lower jaw. Advice?

Question

I had a consult with a doctor & they have never had anyone with implants before but said their concern would be that the very cold temp. might cause extreme pain if it reaches the metal. I consulted with my implant Dr. and he said that since the implants are fused into the bone that it shouldn’t be a problem because the cold is affecting the soft tissue. Both scenario's sound completely logical but neither of them have actually known anyone that has had it done. Anyone know if this would be safe?

Thank you for your question. Without pictures, it's difficult to tell if you're a candidate for a Coolmini, but you should be able to have the procedure with dental implants. Coolmini is a great alternative to undergoing an invasive procedure, such as liposuction. There is no down time, no risk of infection and you can achieve up to a 40% reduction with a retreatment of the same area. CoolMini is the applicator attachment that is best for targeting under the chin.  I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a Coolsculpting-certified practitioner to determine if you're a candidate. All the best, Dr. Dr. Aggarwal

We have had many Coolsculpting patients with various types of dental implants and other hardware and implants in the face and then have been treated with no problems whatsoever.  The cold is confined to the treatment area which is limited to soft tissue.  You shouldn't have anything to worry about if you undergo Coolsculpting. Best of Luck

Your dental implants should not interfere with Coolsculpting under the chin. The treatment would help rid of fat deposits under the chin and contour your jawline. It is a non-invasive procedure with no down time and for you I would recommend re-treatments to get maximum results. I would suggest seeking a certified CoolSculpting center near you and getting an in-depth consultation. Best of luck!

Hello,
Should not make a difference, if you have any pain or discomfort you can stop the procedure.  Hope that helps. Dr Violetta Mailyan
