Can You Reduce Neck Fat with CoolSculpting Treatment?

Everything in this world changes, including our physical appearance. As time goes by, you may find yourself wondering, “Why do I have a double chin?” or “How can I reduce neck fat?”. If so, you’re not alone, and we have some answers.

Struggling with excess fat under the chin and around the neck area is a common issue, which can easily lead to self-consciousness and a desire for a more defined profile.

In the hunt for a slimmer neck and jawline, options like neck lift surgery and CoolSculpting have gained popularity. These are two very different cosmetic treatments, both with their own set of benefits and drawbacks to consider.

Read this blog to gain more detailed explanations of your fat reduction options so that you can make a more informed decision about your appearance.

 

What Causes a Double Chin?

Before exploring solutions, let’s understand why a double chin develops. Several factors contribute to the accumulation of fat in this area. Including:

• Weight gain due to excess fat around the neck and chin accumulating
• Platysma muscle starts to sag
• Weak chin muscles
• Small chin shape
• Genetics
• Age increases cause the skin to lose elasticity and lead to sagging neck skin (aka, ‘turkey neck’)

This can give the appearance of a double chin, even in individuals with a healthy diet and weight. Similarly, if you lose weight, you may find that the fat may disappear but the excess skin remains. But, is it possible to reduce neck fat?

 

Can I Reduce My Neck Fat?

As technology and science evolve, there are more possibilities than before. So, if you’ve been wondering, “Can I reduce neck fat?” the answer is yes!

Neck fat reduction is achievable through various methods, including both surgical and non-surgical options, to help you remove neck fat conveniently and enhance your facial profile.

If you have never had any cosmetic procedures performed before, you may seem confused at first. But don’t worry, we have simplified your options to make them easier to understand – keep on reading!

 

Neck Lift Surgery vs. CoolSculpting

Whether you prefer a surgical procedure or a more natural approach, there are options available to reduce your double chin. Both of these options are effective yet very different in their approach.

To best understand what the best treatment is for you, speak to a qualified surgeon or anaesthetic professional, or book a consultation.

 

Fat Neck Reduction With Neck Lift Surgery

For those seeking immediate and dramatic results, surgical neck lift procedures are available. This procedure involves making small incisions to tighten the underlying muscles and remove excess skin to create a more sculpted neck and jawline. This process is often referred to as ‘neck liposuction’.

The benefits of double chin surgery include a dramatic improvement in neck contour and the elimination of excess fat. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks to consider, such as infection, scarring, and general anaesthesia complications.

 

Fat Neck Reduction With CoolSculpting

If you prefer a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime, CoolSculpting is an excellent choice. This innovative and FDA-approved method freezes away stubborn submental fat cells under the chin to achieve a slimmer neck appearance.

The frozen fat cells are then naturally eliminated by the body over time, which results in a more contoured and defined neck to provide natural-looking results.

CoolSculpting has gained popularity due to its effectiveness in reducing fat without surgery, minimal discomfort during the procedure, and no downtime afterwards.

Due to its powerful ability to get rid of excess skin, sagging skin and neck fat, without having to actively lose weight or undergo surgery, CoolSculpting is becoming a hugely popular method.

 

The Benefits and Drawbacks of CoolSculpting for Double Chin and Neck Fat

Like all treatments, procedures and services, we like to weigh the benefits and drawbacks, so why should it be any different for CoolSculpting? Let’s start with the benefits of CoolSculpting:

 

The Benefits of CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting can be an exciting aesthetic treatment for many reasons. Fat reduction is one, but that’s not all. Additional benefits of CoolSculpting include:

• CoolSculpting is non-surgical, requiring no incisions or anaesthesia
• Minimal discomfort is experienced during and after the procedure
• It offers a noticeable reduction in neck fat
• Results are gradual and natural as the body naturally eliminates fat cells
• Treatment can be customised for specific areas, like the neck and chin
• There is no recovery time which gives you the freedom to immediately return to normal activities

 

The Drawbacks of CoolSculpting

Although the risks of CoolSculpting are not as severe as those of surgical treatments, there are still drawbacks to consider when choosing to remove excess fat from your neck. Some of the common risks to take into account include:

• Temporary side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area
• Rare complications may include skin sensation changes or fat growth in treated areas
• Unsuitable for some medical conditions or unrealistic expectations
• Treatment costs can vary and may not be covered by insurance
• Multiple sessions might be needed for desired results, which can increase the overall cost and time commitment

Managing your expectations for CoolScultping treatment is essential. As it’s a natural procedure, you must be aware that the results can take time to show. In some cases, a few treatments are required to achieve your desired outcome.

For a complete understanding of how your treatment plan may look so you can make more informed choices, speak with a professional or book a CoolScultping consultation.
