Has anyone on this forum had liposuction to the neck?  I've been very lucky that overall my skin has tightened up quickly as I lost weight after my VSG but I do have a little sagginess under my chin.  Probably what would be expected as I hit middle age but I have been considering getting under-chin lipo.  Most of the before/after pictures on the 'net appear to show that this kind of lipo is quite successful at tightening up the chin and jowles.  Anyone had experience with this?

There is a new procedure called smartlipo that uses a laser in addition to the lipo.  The laser is supposed to cause the skin to tighten up over time.  There is a lady on the plastic surgery forum who had it performed approximately 5 weeks ago and she is thrilled with the results thus far.  I believe the cost was about $2000 and the recovery time was very quick. I am thinking about having this done in the near future.  Good luck. Scott

JP,  Got Nothin'! I was very fortunate that my "jowl/double-triple-Chin" drew up to better than could ever be expected for someone my age. I do have a Gal in my support group who had her 'neck' done. Looks great, subtle, but improved And apparently it was a quick and relatively painless ordeal. Best Wishes- Dx

Thanks for the reply's guys.  Sounds like the info n the net is consistent. It's not too expensive and it works pretty well.  The before and after for them men I saw looked great and  it only costs between 2500-4000 from what I can tell.  I'll check out the Plastic Surgery forum nowl,
