Neck rejuvenation - will Smart Lipo work? (Photo)

Thanks for posting photos. You best option is a full open neck lift because of the excess skin demonstrated in your posted photos. All the other non or minimal invasive options are a waste of $$s and your time. Expect fee in $10,000+ ranges.

You already had a procedure that reduced subcutaneous fat on your neck and you didn’t like the outcome. That should tell you that fat removal on your neck isn’t really what you need or is some thing that is helping you.

On your picture you have a large skin fold in the middle of your neck indicating significant skin laxicity.

You’re not overweight and don’t appear to have a significant problem with subcutaneous fat in this area.

Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel why don’t you simply schedule consultations with some highly experienced top-notch board-certified plastic surgeons in your community. Look for providers who have been in practice for a few decades.

You may not want to have a neck lift but that doesn’t make you a candidate for Liposuction. Any problems created with the use of Kybella will not be corrected by using Liposuction. Permanent fat removal is just that it is permanent.

Correcting uneven contours due to an uneven fat distribution with Liposuction is very difficult and there is always a chance of making things worse.

For you and all patients I recommend multiple in person consultations. For whatever procedure the surgeon recommends I would encourage you to ask them to show their entire collection of before and after pictures for that procedure to get an idea of what average results look like they’re ideal outcomes and results that were less than and to get an understanding of how many of these procedures that provider has performed.

I do not recommend Kybella for a multitude of reasons and most plastic surgeons are not fans of the treatment.

Best,
