SmartLipo, a laser-assisted liposuction, is an innovative procedure for removing excess body fat and firming loose skin. Addressing even the most stubborn fat deposits is what makes this minimally invasive procedure widely popular.
During SmartLipo the plastic surgeon uses a single laser fiber which is introduced into the body through a small cannula. Therefore, this technique is perfectly suitable to target the fat deposits in all body areas, including the chin and the neck.
One RealSelf user turned out to be the ideal candidate for a neck SmartLipo. At the age of 23 this girl was striving for the jawline contour that will boost her feminine elegance. She tried different weight loss treatments, but none of them provided the results she wanted.
Her question about the options available to her was answered by Dr. Kevin Tehrani, a board-certified plastic surgeon, highly esteemed for his experience, skills and knowledge in plastic surgery.
His recommendation is a Neck SmartLipo. With this treatments the fat deposits will be melted aways, her skin will be firm and smooth and she will be able to enjoy her beauty within a day or two.
My jawline recedes into my neck and has no contour at all. What are my options for a more visible jawline?
“I have no visible jawline. I think I have a heart shaped face that appears oval because of this fatty web-like skin under my chin. Even at my thinnest, 5’8″ 135 lbs, my chin receded into my neck. I love my chin, and my sloping neck, but I don’t like that my jaw is hidden. What are some options for me? Chin lipo, chin implant, jaw contouring? I don’t know which way to turn. Advice? I am 23.” the RealSelf user asked.
Neck SmartLipo
“Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. You seem to be a very good candidate for laser liposuction of your neck and jaw line. This is genetic, as you have mentioned does not change with weight loss. This is a procedure typically performed under local anesthesia and has minimal downtime.” Dr. Tehrani answered.
One of the greatest advantages of the SmartLipo is the short duration of the treatment and the fast recovery time. It usually takes up to 2 days for patients to get back to their every-day activities.
