What is the most effective alternative to chin liposuction?

Thanks for sharing.  Kybella is a new FDA appoved non surgical treatment to remove the submental fat.  It is injections that dissolve fat.  Depending on severity one to three treatments may be needed about 4-6 weeks apart.  I'm not sure if this is what you had done already but if not worth looking into.  Consult with a few providers to see if you are a candidate. Best of luck!

Many offices are offering both Cool Sculpting and Kybella for non surgical options to treat submental fat in the chin.  Typically it is recommended that two treatments are done to achieve maximum results with both Cool Sculpting and Kybella.Best wishes to you,

There are three methods that can be used for this:1) Submental Liposuction- Using a suctioning device, called a cannula, a small puncture is made underneath your chin and the fat is suctioned out. This is a permanent solution that has immediate results that get better with time as swelling reduces. This can be done under local anesthesia with minimal downtime. 2) Kybella- This is a chemical called Deoxycholic Acid that is injected into your fat.  The chemical destroys the fat cells. Initially there can be quite a bit of swelling that subsides after about a week.  Multiple treatments are usually necessary. Downtime is related to the amount of swelling you have.3) Coolsculpting- Using a newer attachment called the coolmini, the fat under your chin can be cooled to temperatures that result in the destruction of the fat cells.  Usually two treatments are performed 4-6 weeks apart. There is generally no down time and little swelling.

Hi fjj,It is quite difficult to give a recommendation without at least seeing some photos, but generally, ulthera or thermilift may be good options for a small fat deposit under the chin with mild skin laxity. For more severe cases, I usually recommend neck contouring as it gives patients more value in terms of result.
