Neck Liposuction

Neck Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from the neck and under the chin, often referred to as a "double chin," to achieve a more defined and youthful neckline. This procedure is ideal for individuals looking to enhance their jawline and neck contours without undergoing a full facelift.

Procedure Overview

  1. Consultation

    • A plastic surgeon evaluates the area, discusses goals, and ensures you are a suitable candidate. Factors like skin elasticity and fat distribution are key in determining the success of the procedure.

  2. Anesthesia

    • Performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's preference and the extent of fat removal.

  3. Incisions

    • Small incisions are made under the chin or behind the ears for minimal visibility.

  4. Fat Removal

    • A cannula is inserted to suction out fat deposits. Techniques like tumescent liposuction, laser-assisted liposuction, or VASER liposuction may be used for precise sculpting.

  5. Closure and Compression

    • Incisions are closed, and a compression garment is applied to reduce swelling, promote healing, and help contour the neck.

Benefits

  • Eliminates the appearance of a double chin.
  • Defines the jawline and neck contours.
  • Enhances facial harmony and a youthful look.
  • Short recovery time compared to more invasive procedures.

Recovery

  • Initial Phase: Mild swelling, bruising, and soreness for the first 1–2 weeks.
  • Compression Garment: Worn for several weeks to ensure proper healing and shaping.
  • Activity Restrictions: Light activities can resume within a few days; avoid strenuous activities for about 2–4 weeks.

Risks

  • Uneven contours or asymmetry.
  • Temporary numbness or changes in skin sensation.
  • Scarring (usually minimal and hidden).
  • Rare risks: infection, fluid accumulation, or skin irregularities.

Ideal Candidates

  • Have localized fat deposits in the neck and under the chin.
  • Maintain a stable body weight.
  • Have good skin elasticity to allow the skin to tighten naturally after fat removal.
  • Seek a minimally invasive option for neck contouring.
