Plastic Surgeon Dr. Dean Kane of Baltimore Answers Question Regarding Double Chin Issues

Q. My now “wobbly” double-chin is causing me to look far older than my 66 years. Every photo I have made, I have to “hold up” my extra ‘chins’ in order for the picture to look fairly good. I would love to have cool-sculpting performed on my extra chin(s). Approximately how much does this cost and where is the nearest place to Laurens, SC, can I travel to have this procedure? Am willing to pay up to $2,000.00. A. ​CoolSculpting has designed a superb applicator for a non-surgical submental fat reduction called CoolMini. It is within your price range and may be performed once or if you wish more reduction twice. We have had terrific results greater than the “up-to-20%” improvement ratings declared by the manufacturer. CoolMini may also be angled from the submentum toward the jowls the use of 2 applicator sessions creating a double improvement of the “double chin” and reduction of the loose or hanging jowl. When 3 applicator sessions are used, the fat under the chin and jawline reduction with improved definition has also been remarkable. In our experience, it will take 3 months to obtain your greatest enhancement but you will see improvements in 4 to 6 weeks. If this isn’t enough, you may repeat the procedure and “double-up” the results. If you are committed to non-surgical options and remain with loose skin, ThermiTIGHT has significantly shrunk and tightened the lower face and full neck skin. ​ Other options exist! Only consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon experienced in surgical, non-surgical and minimally invasive options, like Dr. Kane,  to examine you and provide the best unbiased recommendations for YOUR needs. ​ ​Good luck with this!!
