Will these ridges, folds, bumps 6 months after chin and neck lipo get better? (Photos)

Question

I had chin and neck lipo with a doctor in bangalore 6 months ago. He has great reviews on this website which is why I chose him. There is and has been a lot of folds and dents which 6 months later are very much there. He doesn’t respond. I live in Spain and cannot go back to india. I’m worried that this won’t ever settle. Can any doctors give me their opinions on what I should do? Will it get better? Can a revision help?

However after 6 months these ridges are supposed to have disappeared; I wonder if you received the so called "superficial liposuction", it is a very dangerous one associated with these complications.Other techniques associated with such poor results are the laser, ultrasound or other source of energy asissted liposuctions.In case the problem does not subside and after cooling down the tissues you need a comprehensive face and neck skin cover revision.

The folds in your neck may continue to improve with healing over the next 3-6 months. Consider neck massage with your thumbs, from your chin backwards with your neck extended. An examination would be necessary to provide more definitive information. Wishing you well. Dr Joseph

Thank you for sharing photos.The folds and ridges in the neck are may get better within the next 3 to 6 months as with any procedure, it can take up to a year for everything to fall into place. I recommend some ultrasound treatments and/or gentle massages with a warm compress in the area to see if this improves.Best of luck!
