Question

I had Lipovsek on my neck and it is still creeping? My surgeon said I may need a neck lift but I am not sure if I want him to do this

Thank you for sharing your concern about the results of your neck procedure. It can be disappointing when the results don't meet your expectations, and it's important to explore all your options.

If you are noticing persistent skin laxity or "creeping" after having Liposuction on your neck, a neck lift may indeed be a viable option to achieve a smoother and more contoured appearance. However, deciding to undergo another procedure is a significant decision and should be approached with care.

Here are a few steps you might consider:

Consultation with Your Current Surgeon: Discuss your concerns openly with your current surgeon. Ask about the reasons they recommend a neck lift and their experience with the procedure.

Seek a Second Opinion: It can be beneficial to consult with another board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who specializes in cosmetic procedures. They can provide an independent assessment of your situation and suggest the best course of action.

Evaluate Your Comfort and Trust: If you have any reservations about your current surgeon performing the revision, it's important to feel comfortable and confident in whoever you choose to proceed with.

Consider Non-Surgical Options: Depending on your specific case, there might be non-surgical treatments that could improve the appearance of your neck without the need for surgery.

Taking these steps can help you make a more informed decision about whether to pursue a revision and who should perform it.

If you have further questions or need additional advice, feel free to reach out.

Dear Kirish 123,

Thank you for your picture. It sounds like it looks like that you have excess skin after liposuction. This has caused the wrinkling that you are concerned about. The best option for you is to allow this to continue the soften and then look to have a full face and neck lift

Best wishes!

Hello, thank you for the photo and question. It seems that after liposuction, your skin has shrunk due to sagging. Generally, if there is excess skin, we recommend a neck lift. Along with liposuction, such problems may occur only after liposuction. In this case, my suggestion is neck lift surgery. The very deep recovery here can only be achieved in this way. It would be ideal for at least six months to pass after liposuction for the tissues to heal.

From the one limited photograph, you have extensive inelastic skin in your neck and jowls. To address these issues properly, you're going to need a lower face and neck lift procedure, which accomplishes tightening loose facial and neck skin, tightening loose facial and neck muscles,  remove any residual fat in the neck, and lift the jowls
