Question

Do people who have lipo of lower neck usually have good results? Do u have to compress lower neck after lipo? Will swelling in lower neck last longer than other areas?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

In good hand results can be dramatics

After liposuction in the lower neck area, compression garments are often recommended to help reduce swelling, support the treated area, and help the skin conform to the new contours. Wearing compression garments can also aid in minimizing bruising and promoting faster healing.

Swelling duration can vary from person to person and also depends on the specific area treated. The lower neck area might experience prolonged swelling compared to other parts of the body due to gravity and the nature of the tissues. It’s common for swelling to subside gradually over several weeks after the procedure.

I hope this helps, 
best of luck !

Liposuction of the upper neck under the chin (near the jaw) usually has better results than the lower neck (closer to your chest). If the lower neck needs liposuction, this usually needs to be done at the same time as a necklift to lift up and tighten the skin and remove the extra skin left behind.
All areas that get liposuction need compression after to minimize swelling and help the skin "stick" down.

It's very important to understand that liposuction can only accomplish removal of the fat deposits above the platysma muscle, while a surgical neck lift is required to remove the fat deposits frequently found below the muscle. Please post a full set of facial and neck photographs from all angles to make a determination about how best to proceed

Liposuction results are based on patient’s candidacy for the procedure combined with the skill and experience of the provider
Lower areas tend to have more edema because of gravity.
Liposuction skills very dramatically among the different providers.
The number of plastic surgeons to truly mastered this procedure or in a small minority.
Patients who are excellent candidate can get spectacular results if they select the right provider
Understanding Liposuction candidacy is a fairly complex topic beyond the scope of this forum.
Finding the best provider is more difficult than most people realize. It generally requires interviewing a substantial number of plastic surgeons during the interview process.
I suggest people start the process by scheduling multiple in person, consultations with local providers, who seem to have a lot of experience with Liposuction.
During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of people who had similar facial profiles to your own.
An experienced provider should have hundreds or preferably thousands of before, and after pictures to choose from, and should have no difficult when you at least 50 Sets of before and after pictures.
Continue having consultations until you feel confident you found the right provider. Ask questions you have regarding the procedure during in person consultations.Best,
