Fat Grafting for a Complicated Liposuction Defect On Chin/Neck? Recommendations? (photo)

Can anyone recommend a surgeon who is highly skilled in fat grafting for complicated issues? I had laser lipo under my chin and the results are not very good, uneven and too much fat removed.

Fat grafting after laser lipo to neck

Fat grafting will give some improvement but even in the best of hands it is pretty much impossible to give you an idea of how much. typically I advise patients that it will be better but will probably not meet their expectations. Multiple transfers can get more improvement. The problem is that only a tiny amount of fat can be placed or you will get a fullness that will not look good.

Fat Grafting to Liposuction Defect of Neck

I have used fat grafting for virtually every type of defect. Fat grafting is reasonable to reestablish the volume in the area. Fine tuning due to dermal changes may be necessary with Belotero or Restylane. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials to help with this situation.

Fat grafting within scars

Fat grafting within scars can be unpredictable in their survival, and more than one session might be required. Multiplanar injections would give you the best chance of success. If you give us your location, we might be able to give you a recommendation for a surgeon.

Laser liposuction can have some unwanted collateral damage.

The picture demonstrates what appears to be some intradermal scarring created by thermal damage to the dermis. This damage is permanent.

Fat Grafting for Neck Skin Irregularities

The most relevant question is whether fat grafting will be successful for your specific neck problem. Skin irregularities in the neck are notoriously difficult to improve and skin release alone will not provide a long-term solution. Adding fat into the neck to improve these irregularities is a logical approach but is tempered by the issues of getting it even (very difficult), how well the fat will survive and whether the skin should be released either concomitantly or after fat grafting. more
