Liposuction
of the Neck
With age, excess fat can accumulate in the neck, especially under the chin. This condition often is hereditary – so exercise, weight loss and neck exercises are unlikely to correct the problem. Liposuction can help reduce the bulkiness by removing excess fat in the neck. It usually is performed by making a tiny incision in one of the natural creases under the chin. In some cases, a small incision can be made behind the ear lobes. After removing the fat by method of suction, the neck is wrapped firmly with a dressing. This pressure helps expedite the healing as it adjusts the skin in its new position. Liposuction can be a tremendous help in improving a neck profile, giving the entire face a more youthful appearance.
