After chin liposuction 2 1/2 years ago I have wrinkly skin and little bands. Is my neck normal? (photos)

Hello and thank you for your question. The quality of the skin as well as neck bands are in normal result of aging and weight loss, even if moderate. Having previously undergone neck liposuction, which removes the under-skin fat that rests on top of the muscle will make the muscle (platysma) bands more visible. However, what you are seeing is a result of gravity, time, weight loss, and loss of skin elasticity. If bothersome to you, these can be addressed with a neck lift. I recommend seeing a board-certified Plastic Surgeon to help better guide you on your journey!

It's not uncommon to have some skin texture changes and irregularities following liposuction or other similar procedures, especially as the body continues to age and change. Factors such as weight fluctuations, age, and genetics can all play a role in how your skin heals and maintains its elasticity post-procedure.

If you're unhappy with the appearance of your neck or chin, there are indeed options available to you. Non-surgical treatments such as laser skin tightening or radiofrequency treatments can help to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. There are also surgical options such as neck lifts, chin augmentation or further liposuction that may be suitable depending on your specific concerns and overall health.

However, it's important to discuss these concerns with your surgeon or a qualified plastic surgeon. They can assess your specific situation and advise on the best course of action. Weight fluctuations can impact the results of these procedures, so it's also important to maintain a stable weight as much as possible.
