Face and neck liposuction is used to contour the jaw line and neck area under the chin. Certain areas of the body can accumulate fat that is hard to lose, especially as we age. Even with a healthy diet and exercise, the neck can be a hard area to lose weight. Fatty deposits in the neck can detract from one's overall appearance, making a fit person look chubby or a young person look older than they are. The procedure is done using a tiny incision in the crease just under the chin or behind the ear lobes, so scarring is minimal. A thin cannula is then used to break up the fat deposits, vacuum out the fat and sculpt the area to the desired proportions.

General Recovery Information: Bruising and swelling should subside within 2-3 weeks. Many patients return to work within a week, or even within a few days if your job is not physical. A compression band is worn after your surgery to ensure that your neck stays firmly shaped.
