It is not advisable to use thermal energy device near metal plates as it can conduct heat. Unless the surgeon is confident that he will not go near the area where the plates are, I suggest using traditional liposuction technique to be safe.

More important than removal of fat from the neck is what you are going to do with skin redundancy created from fat removal. Please consider a virtual consultation from a high def expert.

Having had a previous broken jaw with open reduction and internal fixation using titanium hardware should not be a major issue in regards to having Liposuction.

The form of Liposuction is irrelevant but who does the procedure has a major impact on what results will look like as well as the ability to make an accurate assessment and prediction of the kind of results you should expect.

She got the most talented and experienced local board-certified plastic surgeon for chin and neck liposuction by having multiple in person consultations.

This will allow you to vet each provider, get a more accurate assessment and a better understanding of the procedure including implications of your medical history.

Best,

Dear Thriving,
Thank you for showing your X-ray. Metal screws are deep in the bone and a gbit of the muscle. Liposuction and skin technologies are in a plane more superficial to this.
Through minimally invasive surgeries with Vaser and Renuvion I have been able to define the jawline, jowels and neck.
Happy to help.
