When it comes to aesthetic appeal, the neck plays an understated yet critical role. It complements the face, helps define the jawline, and contributes to an overall harmonious look. At Desired Beauty, led by board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Farzin Kerendian, we offer neck liposuction procedures that help you achieve a more sculpted and youthful neck profile.
What is Neck Liposuction?
Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from under the chin and neck area. Many people find it difficult to get rid of this fat through traditional methods like diet and exercise. That’s where neck liposuction comes in. At Desired Beauty, we specialize in performing this procedure under local anesthesia. This means you can improve your appearance without the need for general anesthesia, minimizing risks and shortening recovery time.
Benefits of Cosmetic Neck Shaping at Desired Beauty
Opting for neck liposuction comes with several benefits:
- Enhanced Jawline: The removal of excess fat sharpens the contours of your jawline.
- Youthful Appearance: A sculpted neck often results in a more youthful and refreshed look.
- Reduced Recovery Time: By offering the procedure under local anesthesia, Desired Beauty enables a quicker recovery period compared to traditional methods.
- Natural-Looking Results: Dr. Kerendian uses advanced surgical techniques to ensure results are smooth and natural-looking.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
Those who are concerned about the appearance of excess fat under their chin or wish for a more defined neck angle can be good candidates for this procedure. Additionally, neck liposuction can also be an effective solution for those who:
- Have tried diet and exercise but found them ineffective for reducing neck fat.
- Are in good overall health without any contraindications to anesthesia or surgery.
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome and are prepared for the recovery process.
Neck Lipo: Procedure and Recovery
The procedure involves making small incisions either under the chin or behind the ears, or sometimes both. Dr. Kerendian then uses a specialized liposuction cannula to carefully remove the excess fat. He employs state-of-the-art surgical techniques to minimize scarring and achieve a result that appears completely natural. For patients who wish to speed their recovery and avoid general anesthesia, we can often offer Neck Liposuction as an “awake” procedure as well.
Recovery usually takes 7-10 days, during which some swelling and bruising can be expected. However, these symptoms typically subside within the recovery period, leaving you with a more refined and youthful neck profile.
While neck liposuction can be a standalone procedure, it’s often combined with other treatments like neck lifts, chin implants, or facelifts to provide a comprehensive enhancement.
