Often brought on by age, fat sometimes collects in the upper regions of the neck, creating what is commonly called a “double chin.” The fat rolls and excess skin bunch up and sag to the point that many people find themselves dissatisfied with their appearance.

In most cases, it is nearly impossible to lose neck fat through diet and exercise. However, flabby jowls can be easily reduced with lipoplasty.

Neck lipoplasty is a common procedure that removes that fat under the chin, giving patients a beautiful, streamlined facial contour. We can provide this simple surgery, often combined with a neck lift that removes and tightens excess skin, to give you that healthier, younger look you long for.

The Procedure

Under general anesthesia or a combination of conscious sedation and local anesthesia, the liposuction incision can be made in several different areas, depending on the procedure. Precisely targeting regions specified by a patient, the fat is vacuumed out through a narrow tube. Doctors are as minimally invasive as possible so the already hard-to-see scar tissue, hidden in facial contours, fades quickly.

The Benefits

Once a patient heals from the procedure, it is as if their fatty jowls have been magically erased. With a slimmer, younger looking neck, patients report a boost in self-confidence and overall happiness. Often times, the slimmer neck motivates people to live healthier lifestyles and feel more comfortable in public.
