What Is Neck Liposuction?

Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in New Jersey, including South Jersey and Cherry Hill. Also known as liposculpture, lipoplasty, or suction-assisted lipectomy, this procedure is ideal for patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle but struggle with stubborn fat deposits under the chin and along the neck. These areas can be resistant to diet and exercise, often due to genetics.

Addressing Excess Fat Beneath the Chin

Many people are genetically predisposed to accumulating fat beneath the chin, leading to the appearance of a double chin or a lack of jawline definition. Even individuals who are otherwise fit may find that excess fat in this area gives them an older or heavier appearance. Neck liposuction effectively removes these fatty deposits, resulting in a more sculpted and youthful profile. Dr. Anthony Corrado offers neck liposuction in South Jersey to help patients achieve a more defined neckline and improved facial harmony.

How Does Neck Liposuction Work?

Neck liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but rather a body contouring procedure designed to selectively remove unwanted fat. Many patients seek this treatment to address concerns such as:

  • A double chin that persists despite a healthy lifestyle
  • Poor jawline definition due to excess fat
  • A neckline that blends into the upper neck without contour
  • Fat deposits that create an aged or heavier look

By targeting these areas, neck liposuction helps create a sharper, more defined jawline and neck.

Am I a Candidate for Neck Liposuction?

Patients interested in neck liposuction in Cherry Hill, NJ, should meet the following criteria:

  • Good overall health
  • Stable weight
  • Adequate skin elasticity to allow for proper contouring
  • A desire to remove localized fat under the chin and along the neck

During a consultation, Dr. Corrado will evaluate your concerns and determine whether neck liposuction is the best option to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Neck Liposuction Procedure

The goal of neck liposuction is to safely remove unwanted fat while contouring and sculpting a more aesthetically pleasing neckline.

Procedure Details:

  • The procedure takes approximately one hour.
  • Small, hidden incisions (about 3mm) are placed behind the ears and under the chin.
  • A specialized tumescent fluid solution is introduced to numb the treatment area and minimize bleeding.
  • Fat is carefully removed using a small cannula attached to a suction device.
  • At the end of the procedure, the incisions are closed with a single stitch.
  • A compression garment is applied to assist in healing and contouring.

Anesthesia Options

Neck liposuction is performed under IV sedation for maximum comfort. In select cases, the procedure may be performed using only local anesthesia, depending on patient preference and medical considerations.

Recovery & Post-Procedure Care

After neck liposuction in South Jersey, patients return home the same day and follow detailed post-procedure instructions. The initial recovery period includes mild swelling and bruising which subside within one to two weeks. A compression garment is worn to promote skin retraction and minimize swelling.

Most patients can return to light activities within five days and resume more strenuous exercise within three weeks. While initial improvements are noticeable immediately, the final results continue to refine as swelling diminishes.
