I have what feels like a rope along the crease of my chin and a cellulite look which I believe is fibrosis on my neck. Please help! Thank you!
Answer: Neck revision Thank you for your question. I would like to know when you had your surgery. If the answer is before 6 weeks I will wait is longer that that you may need surgery to corrected.

Answer: Fibrosis of the neck after liposuction or neck/face lift Unfortunately this condition is seen occasionay, in patients who had fat removal from neck in particular with liposuction. It may be individual reaction, constitution (patient will have similar result after liposuction elsewhere)? Massage, ultrasound application, diluted Kenalog injections into affected area as well as Botox injection 25-50 U seem to help. It may take 1 year or longer for condition to improve and stabilize, but it will. Good luck.

Answer: Contour of neck Thank you for the photo, but without more information it is difficult to assess. If this procedure was done recently, within the last 6 months, it is quite possible this is just post op edema still and will improve as time passes. Either way, I would let a year pass before considering any revisions if needed.

Answer: Liposuction: Skin fibrosis Dear larubia14, Thank you for your question. It is difficult to make an accurate assessment and recommendations based on photographs alone. I recommend you seek re-evaluation with your surgeon who can perform thorough evaluation and discuss with you the best treatment options to address your concerns. Depending on how far you are out from surgery, you may benefit from massage therapy versus skin rejuvenation treatments such as PRP injection, microneedling, laser, and radiofrequency therapy.

Answer: Neck liposuction swelling The time frame is important in this case. If within 3 months massage (?lymphatic massage) would be helpful. Some authorities would recommend arnica montana orally. Localized spots would probably respond to steroid injection. Time is also your ally.
