Necklift and fat pad removal or just chin lipo? (photo)

February 27, 2025
Asked By:Makemebeautiful123 in Palo Alto, California, USA

Dear doctors , I recently had a consultation with a plastic surgeon because my double chin bothers me. Although I was interested in double chin liposuction, he recommended a neck lift instead, suggesting that removing the fat pad would be a better approach. I’m 32 years old and weigh 110 pounds, so I was a bit surprised by his recommendation. What are the pros and cons of a neck lift versus liposuction? In what cases do you recommend a neck lift for younger patients? Do you think it’s necessary in my case?
