I got smart lipo to get rid of double chin over a year ago it helped a little with the double chin but left a little fat deposit at front of chin, I went back to get it fixed a year later and its been 1 month and fat deposit still there feels hard now like scaring and in addition now I have this tightness below my neck with a scar and shriveled skin, is this normal? is there anyway to correct this without further surgery?

Answer: Smart Lipo x 2 Having a secondary procedure it will take longer to see the final results from the scar tissue that is present. You appear to have developed significant scar tissue or the area has been aggressively over contoured. The best thing to do at this point is massage the area, lymphatic masseuse 3X a week for 2 weeks and also some external RF device such as thermi smooth to tighten the skin. It will take up to 6 months to see the final results

Answer: Submental liposuction Since you are only one month out from your procedure there is still inflammation and healing taking place beneath the skin. What you see right now is not necessarily what your permanent result will look like. I encourage massage at this point to help smooth out the underlying areas of induration. Discussion with your surgeon is recommended to see what his/her recommendations are. Best wishes.

Answer: Unhappy with Smart Lipo Results for Chin--add Thermage, Ultherapy, Exilis, VASER, ThermiRF It's too soon to tell what your final results will be. You will have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. Lymphatic massage and venus legacy treatments can give improvement. Keep in mind, Smart Lipo needs a combination approach to get the best results. I recommend adding thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is an alternative for contouring the chin, but would require more downtime. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: At one month post-liposuction, it's too early to predict results. I definitely appreciate your concern, especially as this was a follow-up procedure to an earlier liposuction that left you dissatisfied with your results. However, even on a small target area like a double chin, it still takes several weeks to a few months or more before you'll see your final contours. Try to relax and let your body heal, and check back with your surgeon if you haven't seen the results you'd hoped for by about 6 months after your Smartlipo™.
