Deciding to undergo neck liposuction is a personal choice.

What is a neck liposuction?
Neck liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that targets and removes excess fat from the neck and under the chin area, often referred to as a “double chin.” This procedure aims to sculpt and define the neck and jawline, enhancing the contours and resulting in a more youthful and refined appearance. It’s particularly beneficial for those who haven’t seen improvements in these areas despite diet and exercise. The procedure typically involves making small incisions and using a liposuction technique to selectively remove unwanted fat, and is suitable for individuals with good skin elasticity for optimal results.
Who is a good candidate for a Neck liposuction?
A good candidate for neck liposuction typically includes individuals who:
- Have excess fat deposits beneath the chin or around the neck that have not responded to diet and exercise.
- Possess good skin elasticity, which is important for the skin to contract smoothly post-liposuction.
- Are in overall good mental and physical health.
- Have realistic expectations about the improvement they can achieve with the procedure.
- Are usually younger, such as those in their 20s and 30s, although older individuals may also be candidates if they meet the necessary criteria.
If you feel like the lifted appearance turns back the clock and restores your appearance, then you may be a good candidate for a facelift. However, it is essential to note that this self-assessment is not a definitive diagnostic tool. To receive a professional evaluation and personalized recommendations, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Brandt. He will thoroughly assess your unique facial features, discuss your concerns and goals, and provide expert guidance on whether a facelift or alternative treatments would be best for you.
What does a Neck liposuction address?
A deep-plane facelift addresses concerns like sagging skin, deep creases, and jowls. During the surgery, Dr. Brandt lifts and tightens the deeper layers of the face, including muscles and fat, to create a more youthful appearance. By repositioning these underlying structures, the procedure helps improve facial contours and reduce the signs of aging. A deep-plane facelift provides long-lasting results, helping individuals achieve a more refreshed and rejuvenated look.
What does a Neck liposuction not address?
While a deep-plane facelift can address various signs of aging in the face and neck, it’s important to understand that it has limitations. Here are some aspects that a deep-plane facelift does not specifically address:
- Skin quality: While a deep-plane facelift can improve facial contours and tighten underlying tissues, it does not directly address skin texture, discoloration, or sun damage. Additional treatments like laser resurfacing or chemical peels may be recommended to address these concerns.
- Eyelid or brow sagging: A deep-plane facelift primarily focuses on the lower face and neck. It does not target sagging eyelids or drooping eyebrows, which may require separate procedures like eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a brow lift.
- Fine lines and superficial wrinkles: While a deep-plane facelift can smooth out deep wrinkles and folds, it may not have a significant impact on fine lines or superficial wrinkles. Non-surgical treatments like injectables or skin resurfacing techniques may be more appropriate for addressing these concerns.
What to expect during recovery from a Neck liposuction?
During recovery from neck liposuction, you can expect:
- Swelling and Tightness: These are common and may last a few weeks but shouldn't inhibit daily activities.
- Return to Work: Most patients can resume work and normal routines within about 5 to 7 days.
- Chin Strap: A chin strap is often worn for the first week to help the skin conform to the new neck contour, and then at night for a couple more weeks.
- Visible Results: Initial improvements are noticeable soon after the procedure, with full results becoming apparent once swelling subsides, typically within a month.

What are the risks of a Neck liposuction?
A deep-plane facelift, like any surgery, has risks and potential complications. It’s important to understand these risks before deciding to have the procedure.
Infection:
A potential risk with any surgical procedure, though it's typically minimal with proper postoperative care.
Bleeding:
Some bleeding is expected, but excessive bleeding may require medical intervention.
Scarring
Although incisions are usually small and strategically placed, all surgeries result in some scarring.
Nerve Damage
There's a risk of temporary or, in rare cases, permanent changes in sensation in the treated area.
Asymmetry
Slight asymmetry in the contouring of the neck may occur.
Anesthesia Risks
Complications can arise from anesthesia, though rare.
Unsatisfactory Results
In some cases, the results may not meet the patient's expectations, necessitating further treatment or correction.
