I used to be extremely skinny, 90lbs at 5'4. When I was underweight, my face used to look very defined and slim. However, now that I've gained weight to 136 lbs, my face looks so much chubbier and irks me. I'm debating if I should starve again to maintain my slimmer face or get buccal fat removal or do cool sculpting on my face. Losing over 30lbs again is a nightmare honestly, but I really want my beautiful face back. Is it possible to do coolsculpting on the face to lose face fat?
Answer: Is it safe to do Coolsculpting on the face? Hi,Coolsculpting has an applicator called the "Cool Mini" which is used for the submental (under the chin) area. That is as close as you will get to the face as far as treatment areas go. Coolsculpt is not FDA approved for any region of the facial area (aside from under the chin).

Answer: Do NOT do CoolSculpting on the face to remove fat only on the neck below the chin for a double chin There is no FDA cleared applicator for the face. The CoolMini coolsculpting is done for a double chin on the fat in the neck below the chin and avoids placement over important nerves that control movement of the chin and lower lip. Facial CoolSculpting is not an approved use and might induce a nerve weakness in the cheek, mouth making it difficult to smile, speak and eat. Please avoid having this done. Some facial procedures are done to sculpt the face but carry risks as well. These are liposuction and ThermiTight. Botox has been used to reduce the size of enlarged chewing muscles but doesn't shrink fat.See a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to evaluate your options.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.

Answer: CoolSculpting Hello,Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting can be used under the chin but not directly on the face. You will need to consult with a local provider in person to determine the best course of action. Good luck!

Answer: Safe to Do CoolSculpting on the Face? CoolSculpting Removes Double Chins If you have a chubby face because you gained weight, your best solution is to contact a physician about a medical weight-loss program so that you don’t feel like you’re “starving.” Depriving yourself of calories only triggers your body to store them. Once you get back to a healthy weight, if you still have facial issues such as a double chin, then CoolSculpting would be a great choice. It’s not appropriate for the cheeks, however. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will let you find out more about how you can use noninvasive contouring to improve your under-chin area.

Answer: Chin Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is indicated and approved for the submental area (or chin) and is proven to give terrific results. Starving yourself for weight loss is never recommended. Best to consult with a physician who will help you with a safe weight loss plan and assess you regarding Coolsculpting options. Best of luck.
