Neck Liposuction

Conveniently located to serve Fort Worth, Southlake, and Colleyville

Those who are concerned about their double chin may benefit from neck liposuction in Fort Worth. A double chin can greatly impact the overall appearance of the face, creating an out-of-shape or lethargic appearance. Neck liposuction removes fat from the neck and the submental area (the region beneath the chin), contouring the neck and jawline.

People between the age of 20 and 50 years generally have more skin elasticity and are thus more likely to benefit from the surgery. This is because the procedure removes excess fat but does not address loose skin. For patients with excess loose skin or sagging muscle tissue, a neck lift may be the preferred option.

The Procedure

In the majority of cases, neck lipo ends up being a very quick procedure. Before starting the procedure, Dr. Strock will closely examine your neck and chin and will make certain markings using a pen. This will help him take note of the areas where the cannula needs to be inserted.

Your skin will be cleaned thoroughly using an antiseptic to reduce the risk of infection. After this, certain medications are administered for sedation purposes. A local anesthetic will be injected to numb the treatment area to any pain.

Dr. Strock will make a tiny incision underneath the chin and will insert a liposuction cannula. The cannula loosens stubborn fat cells, which are removed through the cannula via medical suction. In the hands of an expert, this process sculpts more natural-looking contours in the neck and chin.

Recovery and Healing

After the neck liposuction procedure is completed, patients are usually required to wear a supporting chin strap. This needs to be worn for approximately three to four days after treatment.

Patients may experience a little bruising and swelling after a neck liposuction procedure, but this is completely normal and will resolve within two weeks of the surgery. Patients can get back to work within a week of the surgery and can resume their daily/regular activities within two weeks.

The results of a neck lipo procedure are permanent. To preserve the quality of their results, it is recommended that the patient maintain their current weight.

How Much Does Neck Liposuction Cost?

Neck liposuction cost is based on many factors. The price of the neck liposuction procedure is impacted by the amount of time needed to perform the surgery, the techniques utilized, the amount of fat removed, and the anesthesia administered.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the recovery time after neck liposuction?

  After neck liposuction, recovery usually takes one to two weeks. Patients can expect some swelling and bruising, but most can return to work within a week. A compression garment is worn during recovery to support healing and reduce swelling.

• How long do the results of neck liposuction last?

  The results of neck liposuction are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight. Once the fat cells are removed, they do not regenerate. However, weight gain in the future may affect the surrounding areas.

• What type of anesthesia is used during neck liposuction?

  Depending on the amount of fat being removed, neck liposuction surgery can be performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for greater comfort.

• Is neck liposuction safe for older patients?

  Yes, neck liposuction can be safe for older patients, provided they are in good health. However, if there is significant skin laxity, a combination of procedures may be required for optimal results.

• How noticeable are the scars from neck liposuction?

  The incisions used in neck liposuction are small and are typically placed in less visible areas. Over time, the scars fade significantly and can become nearly invisible.
