Back to: Neck liposuction
Accumulation of fatty deposits in the neck region and under the chin can change the contours of the face, make the neck fuller and reduce the expressiveness of the jaw. When diet and exercise do not give the desired results, liposuction of the neck is an effective solution for shaping the neck and emphasizing natural facial features. On this page, find out how this treatment works and find specialized aesthetic offices that provide this service.
What does neck liposuction mean?
Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that specifically removes excess fat from the lower part of the face and neck, most often from the area under the chin. The procedure is performed through very small incisions, through which fat tissue is suctioned with thin cannulas. Most often, local anesthesia with sedation is applied, and the procedure itself lasts between 30 minutes and an hour. This procedure is ideal for people who want to improve the profile of the face, tighten the neck and reduce the "underarm" effect, but do not want a classic facelift or more complex procedures.
Who are the candidates for neck liposuction?
The best candidates are people between the ages of 20 and 60 who have good skin elasticity and significant fat deposits in the neck area. If the skin is too loose, the surgeon may recommend additional tightening treatments, such as facelifts or radiofrequency. It is important that the patient is in good general health, with realistic expectations, because liposuction of the neck is not a solution for obesity, but for shaping the contours of the face.
Recovery and effects after the procedure
Recovery after neck liposuction is quick and mostly painless. Mild swelling and bruising may last a few days, and most patients return to their activities within a week. Wearing an elastic compression band is recommended in the first days for faster recovery and better skin tightening. Results become visible already after a few weeks, and full effects are expected after 1 to 3 months. Once removed, the fat cells do not return, which means that the effect is long-lasting – of course, while maintaining a stable body weight.
