There are several options available to reduce the appearance of a double chin. These include:
- Belkyra
- Coolsculpting
- Liposuction
COOLSCULPTING
What is Coolsculpting
The CoolSculpting�, fat-freezing procedure is a non-surgical fat-reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat that resists all efforts through diet and exercise. The results are proven, noticeable, and lasting�so you�ll look great from every angle.
How does the Coolsculpting Treatment work?
During your treatment, a gel pad and applicator are applied to targeted areas for applicators that use vacuum action. The surface skin and fat are pulled into the applicator, similar to if you pinched a section of your skin and lightly pulled. You may feel pulling, tugging and mild pinching.
Controlled cooling is then delivered to the targeted fat, so you may feel a cooling effect. Afterwards, patients are able to return to normal activities with minimal downtime.
Risks/Common Side Effects
Common side effects following Coolsculpting� include:
- Temporary redness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Skin sensitivity
These symptoms are caused by the body�s reaction to cold temperature exposure. As the treated tissue heals, these symptoms go away gradually after a few weeks.
LIPOSUCTION
What is Liposuction
We do not offer this treatment at CosMedics. Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure in which fat is suctioned out of the body from specific areas.
Risks/Common Side Effects
- Risks include infection, scarring, delayed wound healing, bruising, or bleeding.
- Issues specific to this surgery are asymmetry, numb skin, and contour irregularities.
- Rare complications are fat emboli and injury to the overlying skin.
