My husband, 53, and in good health with little excess body fat, is considering having a small, fatty pouch under his chin done with Vaser Hi Def lipo. The doctor said he'd use a smaller cannula than the one he'll use on my husband's abs/flanks. Wouldn't my husband need a Neck lift to help the lipoed area reattach smoothly? Should he "pass" on the neck lipo?

Answer: Usually at his age you need a facelift to get rid of the extra skin. The problem with only doing any type of liposuction under the chin in patients in their 50's or more is the skin bunches up or sags and looks worse than before. Get a second opinion from an experienced facelift specialist--you get what you pay for!

Answer: Neck lift vs lipo under the chin A neck lift addresses fat above and below the platysma muscle. The vaser lipo will not be able to address submental fat. This is very common in men. Additionally, adjustments of the muscles by tightening the platysma are performed on a neck lift, which vaser lipo cannot do. A well-performed neck lift would be the better option than neck liposuction. If your husband has excess skin in his neck, then a full face/neck lift will have to be performed.
