Neck Liposuction Vancouver, BC
Some people are frustrated by what they believe to be a thick or fuller-looking neck, sometimes known as a "double chin". This is often characterized by a neck, chin, and jawline that appears to be less ideally defined, sometimes as a result of excess fat that may be attributed to weight or as a hereditary feature. In some cases, patients also have a lax platysma muscle and would benefit from this being tightened at the same time the fat is removed. There are many ways to define the neck, chin, and jawline area, with neck liposuction being just one option in a skilled surgeon's toolkit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Neck liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the neck and under the chin to create a more defined jawline and a slimmer, more sculpted appearance. It is ideal for patients with good skin elasticity who want to target stubborn fat deposits in this area.
Recovery usually takes about 1-2 weeks. Patients can return to light activities within a few days but should avoid strenuous exercise for about 2-3 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common initially and will subside over several weeks.
Yes, the results are considered permanent as long as the patient maintains a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Fat cells removed during liposuction do not regenerate, but significant weight gain could cause remaining fat cells to enlarge.
The incisions made during neck liposuction are very small (typically less than a centimeter) and strategically placed to minimize visibility. Scars will fade over time with proper care.
Some results are visible immediately, but the final outcome can take 3-6 months as swelling subsides completely. Wearing a compression garment as directed can help optimize results.
Yes, neck liposuction is often combined with procedures like a neck lift, chin augmentation, or skin-tightening treatments for enhanced results. A consultation with an experienced surgeon will help determine the best combination for your goals.
Neck liposuction surgery is ideal for people of all ages who are frustrated with the appearance of a fuller neck that lacks definition. This surgery is not appropriate for patients who are looking for an improvement in the lower face area, such as the jawline or jowls—these patients may be candidates for facelift surgery.
For patients who would benefit from liposuction alone, tiny incisions are placed in the neck area where they are easily hidden. Excess fat is gently removed with liposuction. The incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches. A compression garment is worn after surgery to help the skin retract back onto the new neck shape.
