Neck, Trap, and Buffalo Hump Liposuction? (Photo)

Question

Hi! I’m a 26 year old female that has previously gotten chin lipo twice, a mini neck lift, and buccal fat removal. Unfortunately, I still don’t feel satisfied with my neck and jawline area. I’ve noticed there is a skin and/or fat buildup connected from my shoulder traps area through my neck and jawline, I’m unsure what further procedures I could do to help tighten that area for a smoother neck. What options should I explore?

Dear justanerd2024,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thanks so much for your question,

Liposuction targeting the neck, trapezius (trap) muscles, and buffalo hump can effectively address localized fat deposits in these areas.  Removing excess fat from the neck, results in a more defined jawline and a slimmer, more contoured neck. while the buffalo hump liposuction removes the fatty deposit at the upper back, just below the neck. This can improve posture and alleviate discomfort.

A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential to determine if you are a suitable candidate for these procedures.

Sincerely, 
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

You would benefit from a chin implant.  A chin implant will increase the tension on the skin to perhaps define the jaw better.  You would also benefit from liposuction of the posterior neck.

I would suggest nonsurgical Morpheus skin tightening in those areas.  You should get good results, and it can be repeated as you age.
