I am in my 30's and had an RF type of laser lipo under my chin almost 2 years ago now, I only had a small fat pad to begin with and my skin texture was good. After the lipo I am now left with a lumpy looking contour, the skin is now lax and looks wrinkly in the area where the chin meets the neck and the platysma band is now slighlty showing because too much fat was removed. I also have a lot of hollowness when I swallow. I tried juvederm but it looked terrible so i had it reversed. Please help
