Neck Liposuction Vancouver, BC
Achieve a Sculpted Jawline with Expert Neck Liposuction at 8 West Clinic
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.

Benefits of Neck Liposuction
Neck liposuction offers a variety of benefits for those looking to improve the contour and appearance of their neck area. This minimally invasive procedure targets stubborn fat under the chin and along the neck, providing a more youthful and defined profile. Here are some key benefits:
- Enhanced Neck Contour: Reduces the appearance of a double chin and excess neck fat, resulting in a smoother, more sculpted neckline.
- Permanent Results: Once the fat cells are removed, they do not regenerate, offering long-lasting improvements with proper lifestyle maintenance.
- Minimal Downtime: Compared to more invasive surgeries, neck liposuction typically requires less recovery time and has fewer complications.
- Boosted Confidence: Many individuals experience a boost in self-esteem due to a more youthful and defined appearance.
- Quick and Efficient: The procedure is often completed in a short amount of time with noticeable results within weeks, making it ideal for those with busy schedules.

Highly recommend! I had a consult with Dr. Buonassisi and he was very honest and kind. He wouldn’t push to do a procedure he doesn’t recommend. Same goes for Lisa, she was very attentive and knowledgeable.
This was my first time having any type of procedure, was nervous and apprehensive but the incredible staff made me feel comfortable and relaxed, Dr Buonassisi's confident and honest answers to my questions and concerns made me feel that what was best for me was his only goal... I am very happy.
The staff at 8 West Cosmetic Surgery was super informative and very friendly!! Dr Buonassisi gave very honest and realistic advice which made me feel very comfortable. The staff was very sweet and accommodating which made the consultation go by very smooth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a candidate for neck liposuction?
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.
How is neck liposuction performed?
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.
What is neck liposuction?
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.
What is the recovery time for neck liposuction?
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.
Are the results of neck liposuction permanent?
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.
Will neck liposuction leave visible scars?
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.
How soon will I see results after neck liposuction?
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.
Can neck liposuction be combined with other procedures?
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.
