No fat reduction under the chin after losing 50 lbs?

I have lost close to fifty pounds over the last year. I have noticed fat reduction in every place on my body except under my chin. I suspect that heredity has something to do with it, my father has a similar facial profile. I am a 39 yr old male. Opinions?

A: Liposuction of the neck

You seem to be an ideal candidate for liposuction of your neck. Of course, you need to be examined and have a full evaluation. Some areas of the body are just more resistant to weight loss and for you its just under your chin. Good luck.

Neck liposuction is an ideal answer for you. It is not uncommon to have areas in the body where fat loss is very difficult.
