Q:
I am interested in lipo of the chin and neck,
but how can I tell if that is an option as opposed to facelift?
Dr.
Loftus Answers: Lipo of the chin and neck is an excellent
procedure and is best for those with excess fat, but not loose
skin. If loose skin is also a problem, then a facelift is the
best procedure for you. Chin/Neck lipo costs about $1,200-$3,000
including anesthesia and facility fees. You can physically return
to work the next day, but you must wear a neck strap for at least
a week, which may prevent you from wanting to go to work.
