Are you troubled with “double chin” and wondering what your treatment options are? The Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville created this infographic comparing Kybella and CoolSculpting®. Kybella is an injectable treatment, while CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling. Both procedures are non-surgical options that can be used for the treatment of submental fat. For more information on either of these procedures, please contact Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville.
