So far I've had two lipo procedures in my sub mental area. The second was to remove additional fat and even out the fuller appearance on my left side. I don't believe the second procedure did much in the way of correction as my left side is still fuller 2 years post op. I sent these photos to my surgeon and was told it was fibrous tissue that needs to be surgically excised. This worries me based on the lack of resolution from the second surgery and the 4 cm long scar I now have. Any advice?
Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Submental Area What you are seeing is the result of excessive resection of midline fat and inadequate treatment of the entire neck including the superficial/deep fat and deeper neck structures including the muscle. I would recommend an open submental incision neck lift to repair this problem. I recommend seeing a plastic surgeon who has completed at least 6 years of plastic surgery training (ideally 7 if an aesthetic fellowship was completed).

Answer: Have an ENT evaluate the submandibular gland The area you are mentioning is very close to the submandibular gland, if you have had 2 surgeries in the area and the bulge feels soft, you may need to have the gland evaluated or reduced, fibrous scar tissue is tight and feels like a hard knot. If the area is soft, I bet it's a gland issue.

Answer: Is Is this post-lipo fibrosis if the tissue doesn't feel firm? Based on the nicely posted photosI do not think this is just fibrosis. Best to have in person examination with ultrasound examination ($500). I think ultrasound guided lipo with possible My Ellevate neck lift suture will correct ($8,000). Best to be seen in person.
