I'm not fat, but I could probably lose 10-15 lbs. Would this reduce my neck sag? I am 35. I find myself elongating my neck and turning my head to a slight angle in all my pictures to eliminate this sag in pics. I'm starting to become very self conscious whereas only 2 yrs ago I had no concerns. An older friend of mine suggested hemerroid cream to tighten up the skin.
Answer: What Can I Do to Fix my Neck, is It Simply a Matter of Losing Weight? In short, it might just be a matter of losing weight, yes. If you feel you can do that, you should feel empowered to try. That said, many active people have certain stubborn areas of fat that do not go away with their exercise regimen and diet, and conservative liposuction of those areas is a wonderful procedure for them. At 35, you are unlikely to need skin removal but this could be evaluated in the office.Best of luck with whatever you choose!

Answer: Smartipo works great for fat under the chin Thanks for your question. Small areas of excess fat under the chin in patients with good skin tone and no muscle laxity do well with liposuction. Looking at the picture I would offer liposuction to help. There are also laser-assisted liposuction treatments such as Smartlipo which is a great way to treat the area without having to go to the operating room. I offer Smartlipo and have treated similar patients with very nice results. Seek out a plastic surgeon board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with experience with this problem and be sure to see examples of patients the doctor has treated with similar issues. I hope this helps. Good luck. By the way, you should only seek out the procedure once you are at a stable, realistic weight for you. If you can lose 10-15 and keep it off then great, but if not, then be realistic and see someone when you are at a weight that is normal for you.
