Can ArteFill or Sculptra be used to Fill in Irregularities in the Neck After Liposuction?
Can Artfill or Sculptra be used successfully in filling in indentations from over zealous liposuction in the neck region? And if so what are your thoughts about this technique? I am interested in more precision filling then permanent fat grafting that could produce irregularities. Any advice would help!

Neck Options after Liposuction

Can filler be used to fix over agressive liposuction of the neck
Yes, fillers such as Restylane and perlane may be used to fill defects including those left by over agressive liposuction. Other materials including Sculptra may also be used. However, when used in the neck, should be diluted more than usual to minimize the incidence of lumps or bumps. Many issues from liposuction will correct themselves over time but for those that do not, fillers can help
