A doctor lipo'ed under my chin back towards my neck. I only wanted right under the chin but he did my neck too. He took off too much at the curve where the underside of the face and neck meet. He also took more off one side than the other. It looks bad and I am very young! As a result now when I look up you can see the platysma bands and it makes me look old! I've tried botox but it doesn't help. I never had this issue. Can undergo fat grafting back to this area to fill it in and fix the issue?

Answer: Fat grafting Thank you for your photos. Fat grafting may be an option if you have fat which can be taken from another area. The important thing when fat grafting the neck is to do very small amounts. This means you may have improvement but not have a very dramatic difference after fat grafting. Larger amounts of fat grafting can look unnatural in the neck and may make the neck appear soft and irregular. Fillers are another option. Fillers are dissolvable in case you do not like the look. You may also benefit from J Plasma tightening of the neck skin to remove some of the laxity and banding of the skin. Hope this helps! Johnson C. Lee, MD Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: High definition VASER liposuction It is hard to answer your question without a consultation. There are many factors that are important including skin laxity, amount of skin, and excess fat in the area. You are encouraged to consult a board certified plastic surgeon. That being said, The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
