Neck or double chin liposuction information and international destinations
Liposuction can be used by a plastic surgeon to contour the face, particularly the neck and chin area, in order to enhance the definition of the jawline and neck. This can result in a more streamlined jawline and the removal of a double chin.
The plastic surgeon will make one or two small incisions behind the ear or below the chin to remove the desired amount of excess fat from the neck and chin during neck liposuction. Mild swelling and bruising are common after surgery. To help retract and tighten loose skin from the area, a supportive chin strip may be required.

Neck liposuction frequent questions
Get answers to our most frequently asked questions and what to expect after the surgery.
Do I qualify for a neck liposuction?
Generally, people who are over 20 years old with good skin elasticity and excess fat on the neck or chin area are good candidates for this procedure.
Will I feel pain during the surgery?
The certified plastic surgeon will use either local or general anesthesia, so you will not feel any discomfort during the procedure. After the anesthesia wears off, you may experience mild discomfort, numbness, and swelling. If you experience any unusual symptoms, it is important to contact your specialist immediately.
What is the estimated recovery time for this surgery?
Typically, patients can resume normal activities within the first week after surgery. However, it's recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or physical labor for at least 4 weeks or longer. The swelling and bruising should gradually subside during the first few weeks. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with specific post-operative instructions and precautions to promote optimal recovery.
