The appearance of stubborn pockets of fat cells underneath the chin can cause considerable self-consciousness. Even if you have a slim body, you may develop excess submental fat tissues around your neck and jawline that are almost impossible to eliminate through natural techniques. Dr. Jeffrey Lisiecki performs highly personalized neck liposuction in NYC to remove the excess fat cells from your chin and submental regions, helping you achieve a chiseled jawline.
What is neck liposuction?
Neck liposuction is the most effective surgical technique for the removal of excess fat tissues from the neck. This procedure involves using a hollow cannula to suction away excess fat cells through a small incision underneath the chin. This procedure can be combined with chin liposuction to make the neck and jawline look firmer and more youthful. If you have relatively smooth and firm skin with excess fatty cells underneath the chin, you might be the ideal candidate. If you’re looking for a solution to a double chin or lack of jawline definition, Dr. Lisiecki offers neck liposuction in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
What Concerns can Neck Liposuction Correct?
- Submental fullness
- Excess fat deposits
- Poorly defined jawline
Who Is a Good Candidate for Neck Liposuction?
Good candidates for neck liposuction in NYC are individuals who:
- Want to reverse the signs of aging on the neck
- Want to remove excess fatty deposits from the neck
- Have relatively smooth and firm skin with good elasticity
- Have generally good physical and mental health
- Have realistic expectations from neck liposuction
- Are nonsmokers or willing to stop smoking before the surgery
Dr. Lisiecki’s personalized neck liposuction technique
Dr. Lisiecki performs highly personalized neck liposuction in NYC at his surgical center under local anesthesia with or without sedation. He makes small and concealable incisions underneath the chin or around the earlobes, which serves as an entry point for a hollow cannula. After comfortably numbing the area, Dr. Lisiecki suctions away the excess fat cells and sutures the incisions. The procedure usually concludes within an hour, depending on your unique condition.
What Is Recovery Like After Neck Liposuction?
Because neck liposuction in NYC is an outpatient procedure, you can return home the same day. You may experience some swelling and bruising, and you will have to wear a compression garment or neck band after the procedure. The compression garment will promote optimal healing and recovery. You shouldn’t experience much pain and discomfort, and recovery time is minimal. Most patients can resume their daily activities the day after surgery.
Neck Liposuction FAQs
How long do neck liposuction results last?
Neck liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the treated area, ensuring a long-lasting improved contour. As long as you maintain a stable weight and follow healthy lifestyle habits, your results should remain consistent for years to come with neck liposuction in NYC.
However, natural aging will continue: your skin may gradually lose elasticity over time, which can subtly affect the appearance of the neck. Significant weight gain can also change your neck contours by enlarging remaining fat cells. However, with a healthy lifestyle and regular sun protection, most patients enjoy their refined jawline and slimmer neck for the long term.
What is the best age to get a neck liposuction?
There is no strict “best age” for neck liposuction, but the ideal candidates typically fall between their 20s and early 50s. At these ages, most individuals still have good skin elasticity, allowing the skin to contract smoothly after fat removal. Younger patients often see the most seamless and natural-looking results for this reason.
That said, the right timing depends more on factors such as skin quality, overall health, and your aesthetic goals, not just your age alone. A consultation with Dr. Lisiecki helps determine whether liposuction or another neck-rejuvenation approach is more appropriate for you.
Which areas can be improved with neck liposuction?
Neck liposuction in NYC aims to reduce excess fat in the submental region, which is the space beneath the chin often associated with a “double chin.” It can also refine fullness along the upper neck and help create a cleaner angle between the jawline and neck.
For many patients, even small adjustments in these areas produce a noticeably more sculpted and balanced profile. Liposuction does not address loose skin or muscle banding, but it is highly effective for improving fat-related fullness.
Is neck liposuction painful?
Most patients describe neck liposuction as surprisingly tolerable. The procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia, which numbs the area completely. Those who prefer may also receive light sedation for added comfort.
After the numbness wears off, you can expect mild soreness, tightness, or bruising: sensations similar to post-workout tenderness. These effects usually improve significantly within a few days and are manageable with over-the-counter medication unless your NYC neck liposuction surgeon advises otherwise. Most people return to everyday activities within a week.
Can a neck liposuction be combined with a neck lift?
Yes. Combining neck liposuction with a surgical neck lift is common for patients who have both excess fat and loose skin or muscle laxity. Liposuction refines fullness, while a neck lift tightens sagging tissues to create a smoother, more youthful contour. Together, they deliver more comprehensive rejuvenation and longer-lasting results.
