What Is Neck Liposuction?

Liposuction is a popular and effective solution for eradicating stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to dieting and exercise. When performed on the neck and submental region, liposuction can create a more sculpted, refined appearance, boosting your confidence and restoring a more positive self-image.

Dr. Small employs meticulous attention to detail in order to deliver natural-looking results that sharpen and redefine the jawline. While it can provide outstanding results on its own, neck liposuction is often paired with a facelift, blepharoplasty, or neck lift procedure to more comprehensively reverse signs of aging.

Who Is a Candidate for Neck Liposuction in Ocean County?

Ideal candidates for neck liposuction are healthy, non-smoking individuals who are frustrated by bumps and bulges in the submental region that do not respond to dieting or workouts at the gym. They typically seek profound changes that can help them present their best appearance to the world.

As with all cosmetic procedures, it is important to have realistic expectations. Dr. Small takes all the time necessary to conduct a thorough consultation, answer your questions, complete a physical assessment, and delve into your medical history to make sure that neck liposuction will be a safe and successful treatment option for you.

Details of the Procedure

Neck liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, but general anesthesia is also an option, especially if the procedure is combined with another surgery, such as a facelift or neck lift.

Once you are resting peacefully, Dr. Small will create several tiny incisions underneath the chin and sometimes within the fine creases behind the ears. A slender tube known as a cannula is inserted through the openings and used to suction out unwanted fat cells.

Dr. Small is careful not to over-extract the fat, as this can make patients look gaunt. Rather, he focuses on creating a naturally sculpted jawline that is flattering, balanced, and symmetrical. Once all changes have been made, Dr. Small will close the incisions using state-of-the-art suturing techniques.

What Does Neck Liposuction Recovery Entail?

After neck liposuction, it is normal to experience minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated areas. These side effects typically peak within the first few days and then begin to resolve. Your neck will be dressed in a compression garment to help minimize swelling and keep your newly sculpted profile intact as you heal. Patients are encouraged to get proper rest after the procedure and avoid strenuous exercise for 2-3 weeks. Dr. Small and his caring team will be available to assist you should any questions or concerns arise during your recovery period.

Neck Liposuction Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does Neck Liposuction Cost?

Pricing for neck liposuction can vary, depending on the degree of sculpting required to achieve your goals and whether you combine the treatment with other procedures like a facelift or neck lift. Dr. Small strives to make all cosmetic procedures as affordable as possible without sacrificing safety, integrity, or the excellence of your results. He will provide a detailed quote after completing your private consultation and physical evaluation.

Can I Lose Weight With Neck Liposuction?

Liposuction is not considered a weight-loss procedure. Rather, it is a way to remove stubborn fat and reshape the targeted areas. Patients choosing neck liposuction should be at a healthy, stable weight and have realistic expectations for their results.

Is Neck Liposuction Painful?

Neck liposuction is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring that you are resting peacefully throughout the process, free from pain, anxiety, and discomfort. After your procedure, Dr. Small will make sure you are comfortable with prescriptions for painkillers. Most patients find that they can switch to over-the-counter pain medications and ice packs within a few days.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Unlike with Kybella or Cool sculpting a single neck liposuction session is typically all that is needed to correct submental fullness and restore a youthful, attractive appearance. After your liposuction session, you will need to see Dr. Small for several follow-up visits at his office in Toms River or Manahawkin, NJ, so he can review your incisions and make sure you are healing properly.

How Long Until I See Results?

Most patients will see marked changes in their appearance within 1-3 months after neck liposuction. As residual swelling subsides, you will begin to see a more streamlined, sculpted profile.

He can craft an individualized treatment plan that addresses more than one issue at a time. Simply speak with him about your goals during your private consultation in Ocean County.
