3 Benefits of Neck Liposuction

A well-defined chin and jawline are desired by both men and women for an attractive appearance. Excess fat and skin on the neck and under the chin can diminish the definition of the lower face, making it look older or less attractive. Liposuction under the chin and in the neck area can be a solution to a poorly defined chin, offering these three benefits.

  1. Look younger. Sagging skin and excess fat on the neck can make you look older, even if you have maintained a youthful face. Liposuction, often combined with a neck lift, can remove the sagging skin and fat that can belie your age.
  2. Fight genetics. Many people have a “weak” chin, not because of age or lack of chin structure, but due to the fat under their chin. They may be a healthy weight, but genetics have given them excess chin fat. Liposuction can remove fat deposits, creating a more defined chin and attractive appearance.
  3. Permanent fat removal. One of the benefits of any type of liposuction is that once fat cells are removed, they will not return. When liposuction is used to remove fat under the chin and in the neck area, it is gone for good.

Neck liposuction can have a dramatic impact on the look of your face and chin, especially from your profile view. You can look youthful, with a clearly defined chin that exudes masculinity in men and a svelte appearance in women. If you are ready to rid your neck of excess fat and improve the look of your lower face, schedule a consultation with an experienced facial plastic surgeon to learn more about neck liposuction.

Options to Makeover Your Neck

So much attention is put on the face, that sometimes the neck can be forgotten. However, the neck and area below your chin can have a big impact on your appearance. For some, the neck can be a telltale sign of age, even when the face looks youthful. For others, the neck and chin can accumulate fat deposits that change their profile and facial definition.

Neck makeovers come in a variety of forms and can make a significant difference in your appearance. From combatting the signs of age like the “turkey gobbler” neck to getting rid of a double chin, plastic surgery or other cosmetic procedures can give your neck a svelte, youthful appearance. Some options include:

  • Neck lift. A neck lift is like a face lift, just for the area below the chin. This is often recommended with a face lift to ensure that the neck matched the face in youthfulness. This can reduce the appearance of the “turkey gobbler” and smooth wrinkles, pronounced neck cords and sagging in the neck area.
  • Liposuction. Liposuction under the chin can remove fat deposits for good. The double chin that plagues many men and women can be removed in just one surgical procedure.
  • Kybella. Kybella injections are another option to reduce a double-chin without the need for surgery. These small injections breakdown fat cells under the chin to remove fat pockets permanently, but results will take longer than liposuction.

If you have issues with your neck that are detracting from your beautiful face, consider seeking the help of a plastic surgeon. They can discuss the options available to give you the youthful, slim neck and chin you desire.
