I had my double chin lipoed 7 weeks ago. Now I have this stretching and bumpy neck with things that look like neck bands?
Answer: Neck bands after lipo These neck bands are part of a muscle called the platysma. They've always been there, they were just hidden by the previous fat. Now that the fat is gone, they appear more prominent. The simplest treatment would be to relax the muscles with botox. This will improve your appearance, but require ongoing injections. A more permanent solution would involve some surgery, which can be done under local anesthesia, excision of the bands, or suturing. Fat grafting may also be considered. Consult with your surgeon. I wish you the best.

Answer: Lumps And Bands 2 Months After Neck Lipo The healing process in general can take up to one month for the majority of #swelling to subside, incisions to close, sutures to come out, and for bruising to completely go away.

Answer: Neck liposuction Dear Alexandra67301,I would have to examine you but it appears that this is a contour irregularity after liposuction. This happens often when areas that undergo liposuction are not feathered appropriately.

Answer: Softening bands Although this may relax and resolve over time, try having a Botox treatment prior to surgery. Platysmal bands are common and Botox is often an effective, non-invasive way to make them appear softer and less prominent.
