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.
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.
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.
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.

Thank you for your question. After reviewing your pictures, I believe the problem is Playtisma muscle banding. This condition will no improve with non surgical treatments including radiofrecuency. If you pinch the bands they feel soft just like skin because the muscle has the same filin...
Thank you for your question. It is very difficult for the platysma to become undone. In theory yes can happen but I never seen that in the thousands of patients that I had operated on. Pictures will help to understand the problem better.
It is difficult to talk about unusual surgical option without series of photos or in person evaluation. It would be possible to remove some skin from the neck after wide undermining using existing or somewhat larger scar. However, if tightening of mucles and fat removal is needed to provi...
Thank you for your question. I wish I have a better news for you but the only solution to your problem that will give a good result be a revision of the face and neck. Any other more limited treatment will only disappointed you so set your expectation very clear with the surgeon
It is difficult to make a recommendation without an in-person assessment. I would need to examine how much of your concern is skin laxity and how much might be due to submental fat underneath the chin. Submental fat is usually best treated with liposuction. Skin laxity can be addressed using...
