A double neck or sagging neck skin doesn’t just make a person self conscious, it could also be very uncomfortable and here’s to tell us about a procedure that can turn back the hands of time. Welcome back from Aesthetic Medicine Dr. Jerry Darm along with one of his patient Rebecka Smith.

Dr. Darm let’s talk about that (sagging neck) because a lot of people have that (double) chin, the neck where everything kind a bulges out and it would not only aesthetically speaking but a comfort issue it could be bad for people.
It can be from weight or genetics, some people that are thin that have the big necks.

What is the procedure for reducing that?
Well, the laser lipolysis, the Lipolift, is what we do and it’s a very small canula that goes underneath the skin.

When you say a canula, what does it mean is it like a needle?
No, really it’s a canula. There‘s a small incision made in the skin that goes underneath the skin and this laser just melts the fat and then you suck it out. And the chin, it tightens the skin as well as reducing the fat. It is a relatively permanent solution.

It removes the fat cells.
Yes. It melts the fat and sucks it out through a very small hole in the skin.

And Rebecka, that’s the procedure that you had for your neck and chin. Why did you decide you wanted to have this done?
Yes. I personally lost 78 lbs. from my own and I’ve seen great gratification all through my body. The face just never went anywhere and skinny Becky wanted it out. I did a lot of research, and Dr. Darm, it was just their office - they’re so calm, they’re nice – I love it!

So you decided to have this procedure because, you said, skinny Becky wanted out, how long did the procedure take?
My appointment was at 11:00 am and I was wrapped and out the doors at 12:30.

What are you friends and family said to you?
I went to Zumba…and this girl keeps on looking at me and I keep on looking at her and she looks familiar. Finally she said “Becky?” and I am like “Yeah”. “You look so different, you look incredible.” I feel incredible.

I can tell you’re happy.

So Rebecka as she describes it, it doesn’t take long time to do.
No, it’s very short and the healing time usually a week or two. There can be a little bit of bruising, a little bit of discomfort but usually very short.

And when those fat cells are removed, they don’t come back.
It really shouldn’t come back unless she were to gain a lot of weight back then it’s possible.

I think anybody who is trying to lose weight, there are parts of the body that just don’t want to play along.
You want a long term solution and that’s what this is.

If she hadn’t lost the weight she lost, would this procedure be a successful?
Yes, it would. You could still do it. You don’t have to lose weight for this procedure to be successful.
