In November 2018, I underwent liposuction under my chin and neck area, along with a Medpor medium chin implant. However, the results were unsatisfactory, and the surgeon removed the chin implant on January 31, 2019. I am unhappy and depressed about the outcome. What options are available to fix the damage? Can fat transfer or cadaver tissue be used? I watched an episode of Botched where a woman with a "cobraneck" had it fixed with a fat graft.
To address the overaggressive liposuction, Alloderm (cadaveric tissue) can be used to help camouflage the issue. However, it is crucial to determine whether the problem is caused by scar bands or the muscle (platysma) showing through. Based on the provided photo, it appears to be scar bands, but an in-person consultation would be necessary to confirm. If it is solely scar tissue, starting with steroid treatments can be beneficial, even if it has been a considerable amount of time. Fat grafting may be considered as a subsequent option. I hope this information helps!
Individuals with unfavorable liposuction results often receive excessive treatment, which appears to be the case for you. Correcting this is challenging. The treatment options you mentioned are indeed possible. While I don't have personal experience with cadaveric dermal tissue placement, it could be considered as an option. Fat transfer may present limitations as there may not be adequate healthy tissue to support the graft. Grafting fat into the muscles may create bulk but won't fully replace the lost fat. Placing fat in the area where fat was previously removed may not yield optimal results without sufficient healthy tissue support. It's important to evaluate long-term outcomes, as early results can be deceiving. Multiple rounds of fat transfer, spaced apart, may provide satisfactory results. However, a single session may not achieve the desired outcome. A facelift could be an option for individuals who would benefit from a neck or face lift, but based on your pictures, it doesn't appear to be necessary in your case. Correcting liposuction results can be challenging, and it's crucial to work with experienced professionals who can provide long-term result examples. I'm sorry you're facing this situation, and I wish you the best.
