On examination it is determined if there is ample fat that can be removed by liposuction. This often is an inherited trait. Also, the general anatomy of the neck is determined to see the angle near the cartilage of the neck as some people are born with this being so forward in position that they can’t get a great cosmetic result from neck liposuction. The position of the chin in relation to the tip of the nose and upper lip are also important on profile and those patients who have a chin that is too far back or a small chin, can obtain a better or sharper angle by having chin augmentation. The chin can be enlarged by a plastic surgeon implanting a prosthesis or by having fat injections. Fat injections can be done at times immediately after the liposuction by processing the fat that was just removed.
I have fat that hangs like curtain drapes on my upper back. Can liposuction help me?
Some patients derive good improvement from liposuction for this area. In some people the dermis is extra thick and powered liposuction, Smart Lipo and ultrasonic and Vaser liposuction have been used. One treatment is not necessarily better than the other but there are some patients whose back rolls are more of a function of sagging thick skin from gravity than an accumulation of fat and liposuction doesn’t help these people. We can try Thermage™ or Zeltiq™ Coolsculpting if this is very bothersome to the person and they wish to try whatever they can to reduce these bulges. Both Thermage™ and Zeltiq™ do not produce any downtime for most patients.
I really want to get an excellent result in liposuction so I’m wondering if I should get laser liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction at the same time.
Having two traumatic procedures done may increase the total amount of trauma to the tissues to such a significant degree that you might have a prolonged recovery with great swelling and more serious risks. It’s not worth taking a risk with your body.
