How does weight loss and gain after neck lipo affect the results? For instance, I lose 10-12 pounds during the summer for beach time and during the winter I gain the ten pounds back.
Answer: Weight fluctuations and body contouring Significant weight fluctuations after body contouring procedures will "undo" the results. Even if you have not had surgery, weight fluctuations makes skin "age" faster, as the repeated stretching of the dermis damages elastic fibers, and results in less elastic skin. Skin naturally looses elastic properties as you age, so any process that speeds up this occurrence makes you seem to age faster. The main examples are: smoking, sun exposure, and major weight fluctuations. 10 lbs is not a significant amount of weight for most normal sized individuals, so this is a bit of a theoretical discussion. (But if you want to know the details, then yes, it does effect the results.) Dr.B

CONTACT NOW Answer: Weight change after neck liposuction Thank you for your question. You may find with small degrees of weight fluctuation (e.g 5 lbs), your chin liposuction results do not change much. With larger degrees of weight fluctuation (e.g 20 lbs), your results will likely change. You still have fat underneath the platysmal muscle. If this reduces considerably with weight loss, then you may find you start to develop a hollowness under your chin. Likewise, you may find that with large weight gain, that your fullness is returning. As with other body parts, the stability of the result does follow weight changes.

Answer: Weight change and lipo results Great question! Fluctuations in your weight may result in sagging of the skin and negate the result or leave you with a different problem, namely, the excess skin which is more difficult to correct. Some patients are more sensitive to weight fluctuations than others.

Answer: Repeat weight gain and loss can reduce benefits and results of Chin Neck Liposuction
Small weight gain and loss usually does not affect the results of Liposuction of the Chin and Neck. However if you are a small person, a 10 pound weight shift can be significant.
Generally it is best to maintain a constant weight to maintain the best results after Neck or Chin Liposuction.
Weight gain results in stretching of the skin due to the addition and enlargement of fat cells under the skin. Over time repeated changes in the skin can result in skin laxity which adversely affects the results of Neck or Chin Liposuction

Answer: Weight loss and gain may affect your cosmetic surgery results Hello - The fluctuations in your weight may stretch the skin in your neck to the point that it may begin to sag. Therefore, I would recommend trying to stay at the same weight if possible. Otherwise, when the skin doesn't retract back after liposuction you may need a lift sometime down the line.
