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?
Answer: Neck lift vs neck lipectomy Only on the basis of in person consultation an experienced plastic surgeon could make decision about neck contouring with liposuction or liposuction/neck lift. Considering your age and amount of fat it is very likely that liposuction, possibly with skin tightening, could be acceptable solution. Second opinion consultation is recommended. Good luck.

Answer: Neck lift or neck liposuction for 32-year-old patient A necklift is commonly understood as a submental incision, defatting if indicated and platysma modification, either superior suturing of the medial borders and cutting across the platysma, either partially or completely, or suturing further down and not back cutting.

Answer: Neck lift vs liposuction Hello and thank you for your photos and recent question. Judging from your photos I feel you would be happy with just the liposuction to the chin area. You don't seem to have loose skin to perform a necklift at this time. You could also be a good candidate for facetite. Facetite is liposuction along with a laser to tighten any skin to help give a more defined jawline like a necklift. I wish you the best.

Answer: Neck lift vs lipo I would be cautious doing a traditional or laterally based neck lift at your age. Based on the photos I would not recommend any incisions around your ears. I would focus on less invasive procedures like liposuction that can be combined with some buccal fat contouring. Those two procedures together can have very powerful results on improving the jawline with very little downtime and no external scars.

Answer: Depends on your skin's elasticity! The best option largely depends on your skin's elasticity. Based on your photos, it appears that your skin has good elasticity, meaning liposuction alone may be sufficient. However, the true test comes from physically assessing the skin, so your plastic surgeon will be the best judge.

Answer: Exam it's dependent on your exam findings. My guess is, based off of your photos, your age/weight, that the concern is more your platysma muscle, which would not be treated with traditional lipo, so that is probably why they recommended the neck lift route. you should ask your surgeon specifically about this since she is the one who examined you.
