So tired of my turkey gobbler. I'm ready for it to gobble its way off my neck. My surgery is set for 4/29 and I'm a nervous Nellie! I had my consultation today and I am so happy with the doctor and her staff. They were awesome and made me feel so at ease. I hope my results are as awesome as the ones I have seen on here.

Hi I'm 43, mine is scheduled for 4/28. I'm so excited to. Mine cost a little more $6800 but they said I wouldn't be happy with just lipo. Mine is almost identical to yours. I hope I didn't get riped off. They said if I just got lipo I would have skin that looked like cottage cheese cause my age. So I got the skin pulling added. They remove excess skin. Oh I hope it turns out cause I'm excited and will be disappointed.

Maybe you should get a second opinion just to be sure. The smart lipo is my best option because the laser melts the fat and also regenerates the skin and help it to tighten over time.

Start a review so you can document your journey. I would like to follow yours.

I agree with Britton96 you may want to consider a second opinion I saw 5 different PS. Making sure that they are board certified is important. One dr Damiani from Odessa wanted to do a facelift on me and charge me 9,200.00. He was rude and all the other PS gave me a promising report for chin lipo alone. I am 50 and I am happy with my results.

Thanks Ladies, well mine has a lot more skin, I lost 130 pounds so it wasn't mostly fat , it was skin. I seen 3 doctors and only 1 said that Lipo would work, the others said it would work but eventually I would be unhappy with the results, over time the skin will lose elasticity and sag. He said down the road I would have to get the skin removed anyway. Its in my family, my mom is 80 but looks like shes 50 and skinny but has that sagging skin. He said that the lipo would be $3500( which is what it is in Canada, at least this area) and he said that if I would later want to get the skin removed it might cost more , so the extra $3000 now would be cheaper then down the road paying another 5000-7000 for a lower face lift. this doctor was recommended by the top cosmetic surgeon in Edmonton which is why I went with him. The Dr who recommended him said he doesn't do the lipo but this Dr only does face. Oh fingers crossed, I hope I am happy it will bring my confidence up I know. Then one day hopefully my boobs and my arms...lol...I am a work in progress....

You should start review so you can document your journey. My doctor said it will only take about 30-45 minutes. I think I'm more nervous every about the shot than the actual procedure.

I had the best experience at her office. Everyone was so sweet. You are doing yours at the end of May?

I faxed over my patient form friday. I was told they have May 13 available..if all goes smooth..I will take that date..

I had mine done 2 weeks ago. It was very easy as far as the procedure. I'm still very swollen & have thick lines on my neck. I look like my neck has rolls for days. They're going to smooth them out next month with an ultrasound wave. It's too sensitive to touch right now. The procedure was easy but recovery will be lengthy. Be patient!

Thank you for the support. I am such an impatient person so it will probably be hard for me. Especially since I'm going to Aruba at the end of June. I will have almost two months recovery time. I hope by then it will start tightening and giving me a separation between my neck and face.

Hi...I'm interested in hearing more about your current results of your procedure. I had lipo done under my chin @12 yrs ago and the end result left me with a roll under my chin that has never gone away. I would like to hear more about your progress and what your Dr. is doing to get rid of the rolls... My surgeon didn't seem know what to do back then, and apparently had never had this happen before, so his thought process was to go back in and lipo the area again...unfortunately it didn't change the situation. I always thought the roll was perhaps the result of how the bandages were wrapped around my head or me keeping my chin down the first few days after the surgery (seem to be a natural reflex) rather than elongating my neck and holding my head high...perhaps a neck brace would have helped. In any event I was skeptical of PS after that and never found one who seem to know what to do to correct the situation, I have just learned to live with it and good makeup contouring... so I am very curious to hear what your Dr. will do to remedy the rolls and thick lines on your neck. I hope all goes well for you and you achieve the result you desire. Best of luck and pls keep posting
