Chin liposuction surgery and neck liposuction treatments are becoming increasingly popular as more and more people realize the limitations of facial exercise.
If you’re concerned about your chin and neck areas despite maintaining an ideal body weight, consider liposuction. It’s simple, cost-effective, and produces immediate results that are permanent.
Chin Liposuction
Your chin is a prominent feature of the face, and plays a vital role in defining the profile. With age, the skin on your face tends to sag some and lose its youthfulness. Chin liposuction surgery will eliminate excess fat and sagging skin of the neck area. With the latest microcannular chin liposuction techniques, patients suffer fewer side effects, and normally return to work sooner due to a quicker recovery rate.
The skin incisions now used in chin liposuction surgery are tiny compared to the very long incisions earlier used in facelift surgery. For chin and neck liposuction, the cannula is usually less than 2mm in diameter, and is not much longer than the lead of a #2 pencil.
With the chin liposuction tumescent technique (using local anesthetic only), tissue trauma and bleeding can be decreased by almost 90%. Swelling and bruising are also minimal to moderate and rapidly subside after liposuction chin surgery.
Neck Liposuction
Some people have a smooth and firm jaw line and lower cheeks, but have wrinkled skin on their necks that make them look older than they actually are. While scarves and higher necklines may temporarily hide upper neck wrinkles and sagging, neck liposuction surgery offers a permanent solution pretty fast. By streamlining this area, neck liposuction enhances the effect of facial features and improves the profile remarkably.
Neck liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that simply removes the fat that is trapped at the bottom of your face and underneath your chin. Small incisions are made behind the ears, which then permit the surgeon to remove fat with a probe. At the same time, the plastic surgeon will pull back and remove excess skin from these incisions.
Even if the patient has a weak chin, by combining chin and neck liposuction treatments, it is possible to remove extra fatty tissue permanently. A patient can fully recover within a week or two.
However, as with other surgeries, neck and chin liposuction techniques have their share of risks too. Aside from the normal recovery issues, the lymphatic system can be disrupted when too much neck fat is removed which can result in prolonged swelling and edema. There is also the risks of obvious ridges and distortions of normal facial contours. If too much of the thin layer of fat in the face is removed, the movement of jaw and cheek muscles may become disconcertingly apparent.
Average Chin & Neck Liposuction Costs:

Neck Liposuction - $2,500 and more
So, if you want to go for liposuction of the chin or the neck, insist on a reputed and experienced plastic surgeon only. The best way to select one is to spend some time doing your own research. Interview at least a couple of plastic surgeons, and see examples of their work by checking out the pre and post-operative pictures of their patients.
Don’t just blindly take someone else’s recommendation. Remember, it’s your physical appearance that is at stake!
