Long Term Impact of Chin/neck Liposuction?

October 9, 2013
Asked By:Trugoy99

I'm a 42 year old physically fit male. I'm quite lean but have always had quite a flabby neck below my jaw. I enquired about liposuction and was told to expect loose skin in about ten years that could require surgery which because I have shaved thinning hair would be difficult to disguise. Can someone advise on the extent to which liposuction predisposes a patient to potentially equally unsightly loose skin later in life please?
