The best candidates for neck liposuction at DeRosa Center Plastic Surgery are patients interested in removing excess fat from their neck and jawline to create a thinner appearance. During neck liposuction, we successfully remove large and small pockets of fats. Men and women who maintain a healthy diet and exercise can usually have lasting results. Additionally, if you suffer from sagging or excess skin under your jawline, you may be a good candidate for skin tightening surgery and neck liposuction.

During a neck liposuction procedure, we will use a suctioning device called a cannula to remove the pockets of fat through a small incision below the chin. In some cases, our facial plastic surgeons will use the tumescent, or "superwet" technique. With the tumescent or "superwet" technique, we use a numbing ingredient and combine it with a solution that breaks down the fat, which makes it easier to remove. Next, we inject the numbing ingredient and the fat dissolver into the treatment area to help reduce bleeding. The incision is then carefully sutured together with small stitches. To meet your aesthetic goals, we can complete neck liposuction or combine it with another procedure, such as a neck lift.

At DeRosa Center Plastic Surgery, neck liposuction is completed under general anesthesia and does not take long perform. Following the treatment, we may recommend that patients wear compression garments to help reduce the swelling. The recovery period may vary and could increase if our doctors performed additional cosmetic procedures. For the first week, patients should refrain from putting weight on the surgery site. Generally, patients see maximum results following a few months after the procedure. Due to the small incision site, scarring is minimal and easily concealable.

How much does neck liposuction cost?
The cost of neck liposuction will depend on several factors, like the amount of treatment needed for your desired outcome. After a complete examination, we will develop an individualized treatment plan for your specific goals. During your consultation, one of our facial plastic surgeons will also discuss payment options, including low-interest medical financing.

Will I have visible scarring?
We make incisions for neck liposuction so they are less visible or easily concealed. During your consultation, we will show you the placement of the required incisions. To conceal the scars, we can place incisions in the natural folds of your skin or just below your jawline. Before and after the treatment, a member of our team will discuss scar care instructions so your stitches heal properly.

Does the fat come back after a neck liposuction procedure?
The liposuction process removes fat cells from the neck, which cannot regrow. However, should you gain a significant amount of weight following liposuction, your neck can become larger because the remaining cells can expand. That's why we suggest being at a stable weight prior to neck liposuction. Along with a balanced diet and regular exercise, this should make it easier to maintain your results.

What is the difference between neck liposuction and KYBELLA injections?
A new minimally invasive treatment, KYBELLA can reduce small to moderate amounts of fat in the submental area of the neck. If you want to eliminate fat in your upper neck or the look of a double chin, KYBELLA injections might be a good option. However, if you want significant fat removed from multiple areas, surgical neck liposuction is a better option. During your consultation, we will listen to your goals and explain your choices, including liposuction and KYBELLA.

Should I get a neck lift or neck liposuction?
We can help you choose between a neck lift, neck liposuction, or both in your initial consultation.

Often, a combination of liposuction and a lift can yield the best outcomes for a smooth, even neckline.
