Think this is the final result. Profile much better. But I do have some loose skin under my chin that I don't think is going to go away on it's own. Which is abit of a shame. Now considering if there are any non invasive treatments like laser to help improve it. Love to see your photos Texaschinadoll.

Procedure occurred 5 hours ago. Meaghan and her staff were lovely and were very reassuring. Obviously can't tell about results yet, that will take some time.

Oh have you tried creams? The dermatologist prescribed retin A cream for me a while back and it's amazing for skin tightening
February 16, 2015
Oh really I have never tried any creams. What brand? Can you get them from a chemist or will I need a script?
February 16, 2015
The dermatologist can give you a prescription for a retin A cream called Retin A Micro that is very good. There may be other stuff they can recommend

Something that my doctor told me to start puttting on my areas of chin Lipo today is called Bio Oil You don't need a script for it. I read abou it sounds like it will help healing the skin from aging affects also she said to massage with it twice a day. Start at bottom and working it at upwards motion.

After 7 years of having a submental lipectomy and for the first few years being happy with the result, I now wish I'd never had it done. This is as I am 47 and have s gap under my chin where it looks too much fat was taken out. I can't bare to look in some mirrors because this deformity is all I see, especially when natural day light is there either side of the mirror! I can't afford to have another consultation then a fat graft unfortunately at present. Sharon

A HUGE improvement. Worth every penny.

I'd give it a full year before considering doing anything else. I really think a lot of evening out happens up till 10 months.

2 months post check in with PS

I had a consultation with my PS today and discovered I had it all wrong! Lol!

What I thought were platysma muscles showing a bit are apparently lumps still! Oops. Delighted really as this means they will probably go with a bit more time and massage. And she thinks the wave was will also improve. I would have been happy as is. Even happier it may still improve. Also apparently I still have some swelling and the tightness around the lumps (that I thought were muscles) can be expected to soften. Next check in March at 5 mths. That definitely should be the near final result.

The process of healing is much longer than I expected.. I thought once the bruises had gone that would be it. Clearly that isn't the case.. But I would do it all again in a heart beat. I looked at the pre photos taken by my PS and wow weren't they awful and wow how much better my chin/neck is now.

I would never have had a neck lift (way too much of a chicken, too invasive.. I didn't want ANY stitches) so it really was lipo or nothing. And I have been amazed at my skin retraction. For all the people 40+ considering a neck lift or lipo, who are realistic about outcomes (with reasonable skin for their age.. Doesn't have to be like a 30 year old) I definitely think lipo is the way to go and a lot less scary/costly/less risk. I know a lot of PSs say that over 40 you are too old for chin lipo and the outcome won't be great.. But at 2 months that hasn't been my experience at all, as long as you go to someone with lots of experience with a good reputation and speak to recent patients of theirs. I have seen results of neck lipo by my PS of people in their 60s with great results!

So glad that things have been getting progressively better!  I remember when you first started your review, how concerned you were.  It's wonderful to hear how happy you are now :D.

Please share more photos I had mine done 17 days ago and I'm also in my 50s and I would like to know how long it takes for the Sagging to go away how it will look in time.

Thank you so much for the photos!  Wow, what an improvement in the waviness.  And you look twenty years younger, too.  I never even thought about what a difference it could make in the chin area, because I'm so obsessed with my stomach, LOL!  You look fabulous, though.  That's an amazing amount of retraction of the skin in such a delicate area :).
