I'm 41, had this done last year when I was 40. I think I need a neck lift or surgery to remove the excess skin; or are there any minimal surgeries I can consider instead of a neck lift? Most of the skin is the dreaded turkey gobbler starting to happen. More pictures of before and after are on my profile. I have a lot of excess skin under my chin from the neck lipo that didn't tighten. Do I need a full on neck lift or are there other smaller surgery options available?
Answer: Small Surgery Options I am disappointed by your surgeon to hear that your are not pleased with the results. I suggest you consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon

Answer: Turkey Neck from Liposuction Unfortunately is common to end up with a "turkey neck" after liposuction under the chin. There are a few reasons for this, but the most common is that fact that the surgeon did not take the time to adequately assess the quality of the facial and neck skin beforehand. As a general statement, once a person enters his/her 40s, there has been enough laxity of the skin and muscle so that simple under-the-chin liposuction is not a favorable choice. This can actually make the neck appear worse afterwards. In your case, based on your picture only, I would recommend a full lower facelift/necklift to tighten up the muscles/skin and give you back your facial shape and profile. Depending on your surgeon, this procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and oral sedation (as we have done in our office for almost a decade).

Answer: Neck lift after lipo You are a great candidate for a neck lift and a face lift. It appears you have mild laxity under the chin, in the nasolabial folds and the jowls. All of those areas will be improved with the surgery. Fractional carbon dioxide laser would enhance your results further, but you would need surgical lifting as well for optimal results.

Answer: Neck Lift surgery can help A Neck Lift can most definitely help your situation. The advantage of a Neck Lift is that neck muscles can be tightened in order to provide more contour to the area, and excess skin is also removed where necessary so you won't have to worry about a turkey gobbler any more!
