Should I get neck lift post 2yr chin liposuction? (photos)

Question

I am 5’7 180 pounds 25 years old. I have had these collar bone lines and a fatty neck since I was very young. In 2019 I had a chin lipo procedure but gained 30 pounds since then so the fat has returned. I am planning to start a new weight loss journey which is a separate matter. The question is, should I get a neck lift to resolve my fatty neck and collar bone area? Should I get another chin lipo procedure? Please let me know what you recommend.

Hi. Great question. I think often times over looked by many surgeons is addressing the deep neck anatomical structures that contribute to your blunted cervicomental angle. This results in a less sharp appearance often referred to as tech neck, turkey neck, etc. The anatomical structures in question include the interdigastric fat, digastric muscles themselves and the submandibular glands. Without going into whether or not you are a candidate (need a good in person exam) as a general rule, liposuction does not address any of these structures. Technically speaking if one were to perform liposuction, a dangerous after effect is contour defects if you are too aggressive. You already mentioned you have horizontal lines you are unhappy with. In my mind the only way to definetively control the situation, especially because you already had chin liposuction is to do deep surgical work on the neck. To continue to redrape the skin and "iron" it out. All this is done through a relatively small submental incision. Let me know if you want to chat further about recovery etc. It's a great procedure. You need someone who is very comfortable with the anatomy and can guide you appropriately! Best of luck on your search!
