Am I good candidate for Neck lipo?

Question

I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon. I originally wanted to get a neck lift. But he said due to my young age neck lipo would be a better option for me. I am not over weight I’ve just always had a weak jawline. Im concerned that neck lipo wouldn’t make enough of a difference or may possibly make it worse?

While liposuction alone can create a good effect, I would recommend adding some type of energy treatment (VASER, SMARTLipo, FaceTite) to ensure the skin actually tightens. If you do this, then I would agree in general that you would be a good candidate for this procedure. In this picture the relationship between your chin and nose is blurred, but you may also consider a chin implant.

The photograph is rather limited, but if you're fat compartments in the neck are located only above the platysma muscle, then a liposuction can give you some improvement. If the fat deposits are below the platysma muscle, then you're going to require a neck lift. A platysma- plasty can also be performed when necessary to give more definition to the jawline.
