Um You really are not doing anything too extensive in those cases , but in a neck like this where you have that much fullness , I don't think those are going to be sufficient enough . And so in my office , unless you just have a tiny , little bit of fat under here , the most minimally invasive thing that I recommend is liposuction and that's exactly what we did over here and she looks great and that's , that's the transformation . That's her a few months later .
You know , if you have a double chin and you want to reduce some volume and you know , the different techniques and approaches that we could do to achieve that natural result , but yet get tremendous changes right at the same time . And so this first photo as a liposuction patient where we did liposuction under the chin area . And we also did a little buckle fat reduction at the cheek , but we'll focus more on the neck area .
And so it's not that everyone that walks into the office looking similar to her will achieve a result like that . We have to do an analysis and figure out is liposuction going to be a good fit for you . Is it going to get you what you want ?
But in addition to the fat , you could have big glands that are sagging down the muscles and you could have a whole lot of other things going on that need to be treated . In her case , she was very fortunate in that most of that fat was just under the skin and that's the fat that liposuction could treat . And so it's not that everyone that walks into the office looking similar to her will achieve a result like that .
It's a very small one about an inch and I do all of the work through there . And what's different between this and liposuction is that I could go into the deeper structures of the neck and contour those . So the deeper fat in the middle , some muscles that I could reduce over here , those are the digastric and then the submandibular glands .
