Fullness or excess fat under the chin resists almost all efforts to remove it. Even people who maintain a healthy lifestyle can develop a double chin. You can achieve a slimmer, more contoured chin and neck with neck liposuction. This procedure removes stubborn fat to sculpt your neck and define your chin.
What is Neck Liposuction?
Liposuction uses a cannula to break up fat under the skin and suction it out. Surgeons use liposuction as a body sculpting tool. The submental area, the area under the chin, tends to accumulate fat that then refuses to leave. Liposuction can eliminate this difficult fat, leaving your neck slimmer and more refined.
How Does Neck Liposuction Work?
At El Paso Cosmetic Surgery, we specialize in tumescent liposuction. This technique makes liposuction safer and decreases recovery time. Before inserting the cannula to remove the fat, your surgeon will fill the space with a combination of sterile saline and local anesthetic. As a result, you will experience less bruising, swelling, or discomfort after the procedure. Your surgeon will break up and remove the excess fat from your neck and under your chin.
How Much Does Neck Liposuction Cost?
The cost of any cosmetic surgery depends on the surgeon you choose and your location. When asked, a group of providers reported that neck liposuction typically costs between $1,500 and $3,500. Most providers noted that this cost includes most but not all surgical expenses. Neck liposuction may only address submental fat or may extend to excess fat along the jawline.
Can I Have Other Procedures With Neck Liposuction?
Many people choose to have other cosmetic procedures along with their neck liposuction. For people with sagging or loose skin around the neck and chin, a neck lift with liposuction can slim the area and tighten the skin for a sculpted look. If you want your chin to look more defined, chin augmentation with a small silicone implant can give your features strength and contour. You may even have procedures like rhinoplasty to achieve facial balance and harmony. Talk to your surgeon about all your concerns and the results you would like to see.
What is Recovery Like From Neck Liposuction?
Tumescent liposuction makes a recovery easier and faster. Most people can go back to work within a week. You can usually resume your usual activities in about two weeks. You may notice some minor swelling or bruising during the first few days after your procedure.
Am I a Good Candidate for Neck Liposuction?
Good candidates for neck liposuction have excessive fullness under the chin and around the neck. You will see the best results with good skin elasticity so that the skin can tighten naturally after fat removal. You should not have any significant health problems that would prevent you from having surgery.
