I have ring shaped neck fat. What are my options? (Photo)

Question

I have been tested in the last for thyroid issues and have had ultrasound to check for this with nothing coming up, I have gone to other doctors for other treatments (I.e. dental/urgent care) and many have pointed out my neck. I hate it. I’ve had this neck for years and I don’t like the fat. I have lost weight but neck won’t budge. Still have 35lbs to go. Went from 212 to ~165 In a few years.! I have a thin Male cousin whose Toddler daughter suffers from hypothyroid who has the same thing.

First, congratulations on your weight loss! It is not at all unusual to have submental fat under the chin appear even without weight gain and it often doesn’t go away with weight loss. The best treatment for this area is liposuction to remove the fat and create a more defined jawline. I offer liposuction using local anesthesia and just a few days of downtime. The procedure entails micro-cannulas that are inserted into the treatment area to remove the fat from the body. Results can be both dramatic and long-lasting. Make sure you work with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist to ensure an optimal outcome.

you need liposuction/facetite + buccal fat pad reduction and morpheus every 2-3 months, see my IG posts from yesterday and IGTV!

most of my younger patients do buccal fat pad reduction, facetite/liposuction of the neck, and fillers to chin/cheeks/jawline/temples,  to give them a more chiseled face.  see my IG and links. at home derma-rolling should be started to Improve texture and tone and tightening along jawline (see link where we have a recommended daily skincare and weekly MTS + anteageMD derma-rolling protocol).

For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed.  Options include:

1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face
2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping.
3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender
4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined

most of my younger patients consider...
5. deep microneelding RF like morpheus every 2-3 months forever to further improvement tightening
6. early face/neck lift if you want a really tight contour and the most extreme improvement in jawline and neck shaping
7. threads, PDO or Instalift, after neck surgery/facetite to further improve the outcomes and give them long term collagen production and shaping
8. Thermage (radio frequency heating) and Ultherapy (ultrasound muscle tightening) yearly to prevent sagging in the future

See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Based on your pictures you are an excellent candidate for chin and neck Liposuction.  You also are a good candidate for a Chin implant since you have a recessive chin that lacks forward projection.

Best,

You would benefit from a necklift using high defintion VASER liposuction. The Gold Standard for superior liposuction results requires use of the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I perform full body liposuction cases every week. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently resulted in outstanding liposuction outcomes. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of degree of excess fat by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. If skin redundancy is observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
