34 y.o. M actor with submental fat. DR 1 said neck lipo. Dr. 2 said that people really platysmaplasty/muscles tightened. Dr 3 said that his "neck lift" removes fat UNDERNEATH the muscle. This sounds best. He warned me against Lipo, said it creates scar tissue, complicates future surgeries. Questions: What are the + and - of neck lipo vs platysmaplasty vs. neck lift? What about 1 surgery that removes fat underneath, tightens muscle, then lipos fat above? Want tightest jawline possible.

Answer: Lipo likely not enough Its difficult to say anything without pictures. I find that all 3 are necessary if you truly want definition of the neck and your best possible result. Its the way I've done the majority of my surgeries on patient's who request and need this.. If you want to have a tight jawline, you need to remove the fat, tighten the platysma in the midline as well as the sides, hence, the platysmaplasty with a neck lift and lipo. Its best to seek an experienced surgeon for a personal consultation.

Answer: Neck Liposuction VS. Platysmaplasty--VASER / THERMIRF for NECK Contouring IS BEST It's hard to determine without pictures. I do a combination of VASER Hi def lipo with ThermiRF for fat reduction, skin tightening and contouring and my patients LOVE the results. Please see an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.
