What Is Neck Liposuction?

Neck liposuction—also known as submental liposuction or liposculpture—is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the area under the chin and around the neck. It’s not a weight-loss treatment but rather a targeted contouring solution. This procedure is ideal for patients who are at a stable weight but struggle with fat in the submental area due to genetics or aging.

Benefits of Neck Liposuction

  • Eliminates double chin and under-chin fullness
  • Sharpens jawline and neck contour
  • Enhances facial symmetry and definition
  • Minimally invasive with tiny, hidden incisions
  • Quick recovery and long-lasting results
  • Boosts self-confidence and profile aesthetics

How the Procedure Works

Neck liposuction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and takes about one hour. Dr. Corrado places tiny, well-hidden incisions—usually under the chin and behind the ears. A specialized tumescent solution is used to numb the area and minimize bleeding. Then, a thin cannula is inserted to gently suction out unwanted fat and sculpt the neck. Once the fat is removed, the area is contoured and bandaged, and a compression garment is applied to support the healing process.

Am I a Candidate for Neck Liposuction?

You may be a good candidate for neck liposuction in South Jersey if you:

  • Are in good overall health
  • Maintain a stable weight
  • Have good skin elasticity
  • Want to reduce isolated fat under the chin or along the neck
  • Are looking for a minimally invasive option to define your jawline

During your consultation, Dr. Corrado will assess your facial anatomy and skin quality to determine whether neck liposuction—or a combination treatment such as a mini neck lift—is best suited to achieve your goals.

Anesthesia Options

Neck liposuction is commonly performed under IV sedation for optimal comfort. In some cases, patients may be eligible for local anesthesia alone, depending on their preference, treatment plan, and overall health.

Recovery and Downtime

Patients typically return home the same day after neck liposuction. Mild swelling and bruising are normal during the first one to two weeks. A compression garment is worn during this time to reduce swelling and help the skin adhere smoothly to the new contours. Most patients return to light activities within five days and resume strenuous exercise after about three weeks. While you’ll see improvements almost immediately, your final results will refine further as swelling fully resolves over the following weeks.
