If you’re noticing signs of aging or accumulating excess fat around your neck, and it’s becoming a cause of concern, neck liposuction may be an effective solution for you. You’re not alone in this journey—liposuction ranks among the top five cosmetic surgical procedures performed globally. It’s a procedure that takes little time but yields significant results, helping to redefine the jawline and diminish fullness under the chin.
Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Neck Liposuction?
- Between 20 and 50 years old
- Strong skin elasticity
Additionally, if you’re unable to undergo a traditional facelift due to medical or lifestyle factors such as diabetes or smoking, liposuction could be a more feasible option due to its lower risk profile. Our dedicated team is here to guide you toward the most suitable path for your individual needs.
What Can You Expect During the Procedure?
Your doctor will begin by administering anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Next, incisions are made either behind the ears or beneath the chin, and a small cannula is used to extract excess fat. The procedure usually finishes within an hour.
Following surgery, your doctor may provide a protective chin strap to wear during the initial days of recovery. Expect some swelling or bruising during this period. You can typically resume full activity within two weeks.
The results are immediate and typically permanent, provided a stable weight is maintained. The outcome can vary and is best discussed with your doctor, but generally, patients experience a more contoured, sculpted chin and a well-defined jawline.
