Fat transfer to the neck

Hi, Fat transfer to the neck is unlikely to look good. If you are young and have a slim neck, fat in this location will make you look disproportionate.

If you have excess skin in this region as well, a lower face and necklift will provide the most dramatic improvement. Good luck, nsn.
