Long Term Impact of Chin/neck Liposuction?

I often treat the neck and chin areas with a combination of Ulthera and neck liposuction to yield improved results. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Liposuction does not expose you any long term negative effects when properly done under tumescent local anesthesia with the micro canulas. You look great and stay looking good. Sincerely,

Lipo in the neck of a 42 year old, done reasonably well, will generally not create a significant amount of loose skin.  One can, however, develop loose skin in the next ten years as a part of the normal aging process and not due to the previous lipo.  Best of luck.

      Skin changes will continue to occur with age.  If liposuction is appropriate for you, then this is not unreasonable.  Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

I do not think that having a liposuction procedure predisposes you to loose skin 10 years from now.   As one ages, the skin will become looser,  regardless of whether liposuction was performed.

If you do require a necklift, I would recommend a T-Z Plasty Necklift which is a wonderful technique I use to address loose skin of the neck that keeps the incision within the bearded area of the neck.
