One of the most dramatically transforming, yet minimally invasive, face & neck cosmetic procedures is neck liposuction. Thick or fatty necks can alter the appearance of the chin, jawline and face, yet it can be impossible to remove this fat without cosmetic treatment. At HMS Plastic Surgery, we offer neck liposuction to eliminate double chins and thick necks at our center in Miami, FL.
Many people have submental fat under their chin and around their neck. This is usually due to genetics or other factors like medications or hormone fluctuations. You can be within normal weight ranges, yet still have a face that looks heavy due to stubborn neck and chin fat. If you do not need to lose weight, no amount of dieting or exercise will give you the slimmer neck you desire.
Neck liposuction is cosmetic surgery, but it is one of the least invasive procedures. Patients can receive neck liposuction under local anesthesia with only tiny incisions needed to access the fat deposits under the skin. Compared to most plastic surgery procedures, the downtime and recovery is minimal, but the results can be stunning.
Neck Reshaping with Lipo
Individuals who have thick or fatty necks and good skin elasticity are ideal candidates for neck lipo surgery. Dr. Harry Salinas, our board certified plastic surgeon, uses a small cannula to suction out the submental fat under the chin and around the neck, reshaping and contouring your jawline, chin and neck. Once the procedure is completed, patients receive a compression garment to wear to help the skin shrink and tighten.
Once the swelling begins to dissipate, the difference neck liposuction can make is quite amazing. The entire face of the patient can change, just from removing a small amount of fat from beneath their chin and around their neck. The definition of the chin and jawline are enhanced, especially from the profile view.
