Will my Skin Tighten After my Neck Liposuction? (photo)

Dear Shez,

I am so sorry to hear about this.  It does appear that you have some loose skin and possible a scar band.  Unfortunately, the only definitive way to treat that excess would be to remove it.  This will result in an incision in the area of removal if it is done directly in the area.  The other way to potentially address it would be to perform a standard facelift incision and loosen the skin of the neck so that it can be re-draped (pulled) tight back toward the hairline and ear.

Seek several opinions from board certified plastic surgeons in your area.

Best wishes.

Although at 6 weeks post-op there is still time for improvement (skin contraction/tightening), you may require more of a formal neck lift to remedy this problem.  Depending upon direct physical exam at about the 12 week period, this may mean either direct skin excision under the chin or redraping the skin back and taut from an incision around the ears.  In my experience, if a surgical procedure does not work the first time (done correctly) then it probably will not work the second time around.  Glad to help... @drryanstanton
