Question

Chin/neck liposuction, tracheal shave

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

It is possible that you still have some swelling in your neck 4 weeks after the liposuction to your under chin and neck area.  I would recommend waiting at least 3 months after your surgery before you begin to consider any other treatments to the area.  It is also difficult to evaluate the neck for a tracheal shave without a side view of the neck.  Many men like a prominent adam's apple, unless they are transitioning to a woman.

Matthew Bridges, MD, FACS · Answer

You only need a tracheal shave if you are transitioning to a woman.   Your jaw definition from the front looks excellent.   We certainly can't assess your neck contour without a side view.
