CoolSculpting and “fullness in the throat” as a side effect. What is this, exactly?

Question

I see that “fullness of the throat” is listed as a side effect after cool mini for a double chin. What is this exactly?

Thank you for submitting your question. With regard to "fullness in the throat" after undergoing a CoolSculpting treatment to the chin area, this is describing how local swelling can be perceived by the patient. After CoolSculpting, the treated area can swell slightly, which can make the chin area or upper throat feel tight, swollen, or full. This is usually very short-lived and resolves quickly once the treatment is done. Your plastic surgeon can review all of the potential side effects with you at your consultation. Good luck and thank you again for reaching out.

This may refer to the swelling that may be possible on the treatment area together with bruising and tenderness but this is generally very temporary. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

Hello and thank you fo your question. The”fullness in the throat” refers to the possible swelling one might experience. If swelling does occur the affected area could feel tight but normally doesn’t last for long. I hope this helps calm your fears. Its best to get an in person consultation and discuss your concerns and expectations with your medical provider. Best wishes.
