I’m 35 years old so I though my skin would still have good elasticity after my chin lipo, but I seem to still have loose skin. I had my procedure 3 moths ago. Is a neck lift my only option?
Answer: Necklift is good option Hello. Though most patients see their results after liposuction at 3 months, you may want to wait a couple of months more to ensure no further improvement is seen. If not, then you may want to explore other options to tighten the neck. In my opinion, a neck lift will achieve a greater improvement than other minimally invasive options. It's not a bad idea to explore Ultherapy, Thermi RF, etc. Just keep in mind you need to balance the quicker recovery/less risks with less dramatic results. Make sure you see a board certified surgeon with experience in facial rejuvenation. Take care.

Answer: Skin Tightening for the Neck with Kybella, Ultherapy, Thermage, PDO Nova Threads, Exilis, VASER, ThermiRF, neck lift, J Plasma, Honestly there are several options you can consider. In my opinion, a combination approach would give the most improvement. Kybella, PDO Nova Threads, Ultherapy and/or ThermiRF treatments (Venus Legacy) are non-invasive options that would do well in combination for skin tightening for the neck. VASER with ThermiRF is a great alternative for contouring and tightening the chin and neck and can be combined with a neck lift at the same time, if you're a candidate. See a cosmetic dermatologist for a long-term treatment plan. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Loose skin three months after chin liposuction. Is a neck lift my only option? A thorough in-person examination of the neck is going to be required since this is a revision procedure. The skintone of the neck will be the driving forces to can be accomplished.

Answer: Loose skin 3 months after chin lipo. Is a neck lift my only option? Hello Marcyisland,Starting around age 35 the skin begins to loose its elasticity. For some patients at 35 there is sufficient elasticity that isolated liposuction can be performed. In others, unfortunately, the skin lacks the elasticity. I would recommend waiting until about 6 months to allow for any tightening to take place. Once you hit the 6 month mark that is about as good as it will get. At that point you have several options. The gold standard is a neck lift, but if you are looking for less invasive options then I like the Embrace RF system which combines FaceTite (subcutaneous radiofrequency and external radiofrequency) and Morpheus8 (microneedling with radiofrequency) to help tighten the skin. I would recommend you consult with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon. That way you can learn about the surgical and non surgical options. I hope this helps and good luck.

Answer: Necklifts can be appropriate for patients under 40 While it may sound unusual, it is sometimes perfectly appropriate to recommend and perform a neck lift, or even a lower face and neck lift, in younger patients.
