Can anything be done about my obtuse neck?

December 24, 2016
Asked By:RWEQ in London, GB

I'm very distressed about my total lack of chin-neck angle. It looks as if I don't have a lower jaw whatsoever, although I look normal from the front. I believe it is hereditary because my mother also has it. I believe I could possibly have a low hyoid bone, and I know there is no way to correct this, but, going by this photo, do I have any options to salvage even a slight angle? I'm 26 years old, not overweight, but fairly high body fat percentage. Thanks

Michael I. Echavez, MD says:

It is possible that you still have some swelling in your neck 4 weeks after the liposuction to your under chin and neck area.  I would recommend waiting at least 3 months after your surgery before you begin to consider any other treatments to the area.  It is also difficult to evaluate the n...

Is this the start of my final result for chin lipo? (Photos)
Jason Emer, MD says:

No, it is still too soon to tell. You may have swelling 3-6 months after your procedure. To speed up healing, you can try hyperbaric oxygen and venus legacy radiofrequency treatments.  We will often do a kyeblla and ultherapy about 4-6 weeks after neck lipo to get more outcome.   Best, Dr. Emer.
