I am very unhappy with neck lipo results. A year ago I opted to have neck lipo. I was 30 with good skin. I have expressed concerns multiple times to the surgeon about the uneven looking results, particularly noticeable if I look up. I feel it is unnatural looking as there is no fat directly under my chin and he didn’t touch the sides of my under-jaw. He insists this is a good result.
