What will happen if I don't wear my foam pads with my compression garment to work but then wear it full time at home?

Liposuction of the neck would help address the fat excess in the neck region.  I would also consider platysmaplasty as it would likely further contour the neck and improve its appearance.  Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
