You may be a candidate for neck liposuction if you have localized deposits of fat in the anterior part of the neck—under the chin. Neck contouring is intended to provide better contours to the neck and chin.
Additional procedures that may enhance your results are Facelift, Neck Lift, and Chin Augmentation.
If you also want more definition in your lower cheek area, buccal fat removal creates a more sculpted profile.
At La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the procedure is done on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia. The method may require an incision under the chin, behind the ears, or both. Fat is suctioned or excised, muscles may be tightened, and skin may be removed—all depending on individual findings.
You will go home with your chin and neck wrapped in dressings or in an elastic neck sling. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Facial shaving can be resumed in about one week or with your surgeon’s approval. Swelling and bruising disappear over approximately 2 weeks. The final result is evident in 1–3 months.
Now, you can smooth your neck or jawline without stressing over your finances! Our neck liposuction procedure starts at just $132 per month with affordable payment plans. Get started by putting down an initial payment of $1,500 and qualify with average credit for 48 months. If you have above-average credit or can pay more upfront, you’ll enjoy more monthly savings!
