Am I a candidate for MyEllevate given the recovery time? (Photo)

Question

I’m interested in getting the MyEllevate procedure but am mainly worried about the recovery time. I can get off of work for 7 days, but will be required to be in office thereafter. Is it necessary to wear a neck wrap? Is there another solution that may be better? My issue isn’t too severe. Thank you,

The limited photographs demonstrate a recessive chin profile, and fat deposits in your neck located both above and below the platysma muscle in your neck. Minimally invasive treatments cannot address those issues, and give minimal results, if anything. Consider placement of a small chin implant to augment your chin forward for better structural support for the soft tissues in the neck. Liposuction alone will only remove the fat deposits above the muscle and will only be partially effective. A neck lift procedure can accomplish removal of both compartments of fat in addition to a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline. No skin removal is required. Just a one-inch access incision underneath the chin. You can keep your beard to Camouflage the swelling after the procedure. No bandages or wraps are required after the surgery
