Neck liposuction and fat transfer

Dear Ntx, This is the normal course after neck liposuction, it will improve Wear the band around the neck to keep the skin tightly against the muscle underneath Before making a rash decisions, it is best to wait about 6 months Best regards, Nima Shemirani

100 cc of Fat Removed from Neck

Given your history and your medication regimen, your skin may indeed carry different properties than what one would expect for a 31 yo. At any rate, no one's skin will retract completely until about 3 months after surgery due to immense swelling and bruising that typically occurs due to liposuction of the neck.

Chin Liposuction

Your results from your liposuction will not truly apparent for several months. Wearing your garment is critical. It is a bit unusual to have fat injected into the chin area. Typically an implant or movement of your own bone gives longer standing enhancement. Dr. ES

Thanks doc The thing is that I dont feel any fat in my neck but it seems that the volume of the skin still the same. They say that the skin will tight by itself but as I have anti rejection medication to take (due to a kidney transplant I had back to 2001) I m afraid that my skin wont tight back as it used to. My doc provided me with a garment I wore for one week he then told me to get rid of it. I dont know what to do. Should I put the garment back? Is it 100percent sure that my sking will be tighten soon? I m 31 and it seems that my skin has the elasticity of an old man!
