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 and Chin Augmentation.
If you also want more definition in your lower cheek area, buccal fat removal creates a more sculpted profile.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
At La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre & Medical Spa, the procedure is done on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia. The procedure 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 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 doctor approval. Swelling and bruising disappear over approximately 2 weeks. The final result is evident in 1–3 months.
