Eliminating Submental Fat with CoolSculpting for Double Chin
A study conducted by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) in 2021 showed that 70% of people are bothered by submental fat. This is the accumulated fat under the chin, also known as a double chin. Many factors can lead to a double chin including genetics, aging, and weight gain. Patients can get rid of a double chin through surgical, minimally-invasive, and non-invasive procedures. These procedures include liposuction, Kybella (deoxycholic acid), and CoolSculpting at Aesthetica.
Is it hard to lose a double chin?
It can be challenging to get rid of submental fat because of the unique property of fat cells. The number of fat cells in our body are set at adolescence. As we gain weight, our fat cells expand in size and as we lose weight, they shrink in size; we don’t actually lose them.
Due to the nature of fat cells, it can feel impossible to get rid of stubborn fat pockets with just a healthy diet and exercise. Luckily, modern cosmetic treatments offer ways to destroy fat cells for good and give you the results you may not be able to achieve on your own.
How does Kybella (deoxycholic acid) for double chin removal work?
Kybella (deoxycholic acid) is a fat-dissolving series of injections for the treatment of stubborn fat cells under the chin. Deoxycholic acid is a natural substance in our bodies. This acid permanently destroys fat cells. Once your Kybella (deoxycholic acid) series is complete, those fat cells are destroyed and will not return. This will give you a slimmer, more defined chin and jawline area for months and years to come.

How does CoolSculpting for double chin work?
You’ve likely heard of CoolSculpting for the body, but at Aesthetica, we can also use it for removing submental fat, or the double chin. Our CoolSculpting Elite machine comes with different applicator shapes and sizes to treat a variety of body areas. The applicator we use for the double chin fits over the double chin area. CoolSculpting for the double chin is ideal for patients who want to avoid the surgical and injectable route.
An Aesthetica CoolSculpting Specialists starts the treatment by placing a gel sheet under the chin to protect the skin. Then we place the applicator and it will begin to suction and hold the fat in place. After 45 minutes, the fat reaches a freezing point. Once removed, the CoolSculpting Specialist removes the applicator and massages the treated area.
Patients can go about their normal activities with little to no downtime. In the following weeks the body will gradually and naturally remove the dead fat cells through the lymphatic system.
Does CoolSculpting actually work for a double chin?
CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells beneath the skin without surgery and minimal downtime. CoolSculpting for the double chin can reduce up to 20–25% of fat, helping create a slimmer, more contoured profile.
At Aesthetica, we recommend treating to completion for the best results. This includes a series of three treatment visits, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Many patients begin to notice gradual improvements within a month. Full treatment results are visible 3-6 months once you’ve completed all three treatment visits at Aesthetica.

Surgical route: liposuction for double chin
A third route offered at Aesthetica Plastic Surgery is lipo for double chin. This surgical procedure is performed under full anesthesia. One of our plastic surgeons will make a small incision under the chin. The fat cells are suctioned out using a small canulla and the incision is then closed. Your surgeon can also combine your liposuction for the double chin with Renuvion to help tighten the skin in the area. To learn more about lipo for the double chin, call or plastic surgery office at 801-785-8825.
Which submental (double chin) fat reduction treatment is right for me: Kybella (deoxycholic acid) vs CoolSculpting vs Surgery?
Kybella (deoxycholic acid), CoolSculpting for double chin, and surgery can provide effective and long-lasting results. But, some patients may prefer one treatment over the other. Patients should also take other factors into consideration when deciding between the three treatments.
-Kybella (deoxycholic acid) is a minimally-invasive treatment that has little downtime. Some of the most common side effects include swelling, bruising, pain, redness, and numbness in the treated area. These side effects can last up to 4 weeks. Patients may also experience some discomfort during treatment. We can help reduce your discomfort by applying numbing cream. Most patients require two to four treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
-CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment with little to no downtime. The healing process differs from Kybella (deoxycholic acid). CoolSculpting patients may feel slight numbness and redness lasting up to 4 weeks. During the treatment, patients may experience some discomfort. The discomfort dissipates when the treatment area becomes cold enough. If you’re looking for a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment, CoolSculpting may be right for you. Most patients require three treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. All of Aesthetica’s CoolSculpting packages include three treatment visits to give patients optimal results for their chin CoolSculpting.
-Surgical removal of double chin with liposuction can be performed at Aesthetica Plastic Surgery. This procedure requires patients to undergo anesthesia. Pain, bruising, and swelling is common for up to 4 weeks. Almost all patients who undergo liposuction for the double chin require a single treatment.
