Neck Lipo or Lift for Me? (photo)

I'm a 26 yr. old mom of 2. I'm 5'6 and have been under 130 lbs. my entire life... until late in my pregnancy with my second child. I currently weigh 155 lbs. and my baby is now 2. I got out of the military to become a stay at home mom/mil wife right before his birth, so excersize has been harder to do on a reg. basis. I know for certain I'm having a BA done, but I also want to deal with my neck while I'm at it. I just want to know the correct procedure for me.. and a guesstimate combined cost

Neck lift or liposuction?

At 26, you still have good skin elasticity. This makes you a great candidate for liposuction of the submental/jowl area. This is generally a simple procedure that can yield a fantastic result for the right patient. I would recommend visiting a board certified facial plastic surgeon. He/she may use computer imaging software to morph a photo of you and give you an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Neck lift or liposuction

Dear MiyokoLee88, A neck liposuction can be done with minimal downtime or discomfort The cost depends on whether you would like to do it under local anesthesia or have an anesthesiologist present The cost can range from 2-6K, but your decision should be based more on surgeon preference than price because each plastic surgeon is different Best regards, Nima Shemirani

Neck lipo

From the photos you posted, it looks like you could benefit from liposuction of the neck, but I would need to examine you in person to do a proper exam.

Necklift or Lipo for 26 Year Old

Generally speaking, fullness under your chin in a young adult can be managed nicely by liposuction performed under local anesthesia in the office. The skin is usually elastic (firm) enough to redrape smoothly inward to follow the fat removal, thus creating a more defined and smooth neck angle. Although it is hard to be exact from your photo, if your chin seems a little small, then adding projection with a chin implant will also improve the appearance of your neck area. A... more

Treatment options for neck

From your photos I gather that neck liposuction with a conservative chin enhancement using an implant would provide your with meaningful benefit and excellent longevity. Of course, best advice can only be provided after a thorough examination. See an experienced facial aesthetic surgeon!

Neck liposuction

With a younger patient, the skin in the liposuctioned area tends to be tight enough that a separate skin tightening procedure does not need to be done. You would have a nice result with liposuction and maybe some non-invasive RF tightening. The exact surgical plan can only be delineated with an examination and prices are set once a plan is in agreed on. All the best.

Neck Lift or Neck Liposuction?

It is difficult to say the best procedure without having the opportunity to examine you, but looking at your photographs you seem to have a little excess fat under your chin. Based on your age you should have pretty good skin tone and would likely be a good candidate for neck liposuction.

Neck Lipo or Neck Lift?

From your pictures it looks as though you have good skin quality (it is not saggy) but a bit of excess fat. This will usually respond very well to liposuction. In my experience I recommend SmartLipo, as it will have a certain degree of extra "tightening" effect.

Neck Lipo or Lift

It is very likely you can achieve the results you want with simple liposuction and it would be easy to do at the time of the BA. BUT it is not possible to be sure of this without an exam so be sure the BA doctor has a good wide experience in facial rejuvenation other than liposuction and is a board certified plastic surgeon.

Neck liposuction would make a great improvement.

Liposuction under local anesthesia for the neck and jawline would make a great improvement and be easy to undergo for roughly $2500 on special and you are back to work in 1 day. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD
