Liposuction of the Neck

If you are like most people then you may begin to notice fullness beneath the chin in your neck over time. This is a common area for fat to accumulate when our metabolism slows as we age. Often times the skin of the neck maintains it’s elasticity and a Neck Lift is not necessary. In this case, liposuction of the neck can provide a powerful change that re-creates an aesthetically pleasing angle between your neck and jaw line. Liposuction of the neck can easily be combined with other procedures that truly provides a phenomenal outcome immediately and only improves as you continue to heal. In your consultation we will discuss what bothers you, perform a thorough exam and provide different options that best address your concerns and needs.

Goals:
- Create a defined contour between your neck and jaw line without removing skin
- Remove excess fat to provide a smooth contour
- Improve skin tightness in the neck region
Recovery:
In general, liposuction of the neck requires 1 week of downtime. However, if combined with other procedures such as skin resurfacing, blepharoplasty or others, the time can vary. It is recommended to avoid exercising for 2-3 weeks after surgery to prevent avoidable complications such as bleeding, bruising, pain and problems healing. It is important to maintain a compressive dressing after surgery for a few weeks to support the tissue, minimize swelling and provide the best possible outcome.
