Neck Liposuction in Peachtree City, GA

While labeled a "double chin," it is really created by excess fat around the neck. During neck liposuction surgery at Exclusively Faces Cosmetic Surgery and Medispa, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew Karen will suction away the fat on the neck. This helps to remove the jowls and the presence of the double chin. Neck lipo can help create a more distinguished throat and jawline. In addition, at the end of this procedure, you'll have a smooth neckline from the tightening of muscles and reduced soft tissue. This procedure can alleviate both small lumps or areas of fat and can be utilized on large treatment areas. It's an exciting alternative for women and men who dream of a thinner neckline. For more information about neck liposuction and how it can improve your neckline, schedule an appointment at our Sharpsburg, GA office.

The effects of aging and/or weight gain may result in unwanted or sagging neck fat under the chin. Neck liposuction performed at Exclusively Faces Cosmetic Surgery and Medispa treats surplus or droopy neck fat to help you achieve a more contoured and refreshed profile. This surgery at our Sharpsburg, GA facility includes the following benefits:

• Diminishing the appearance of a double chin
• Contouring the jawline and chin

• Recovery time is relatively quick for a surgical procedure

Before beginning this procedure, Dr. Karen will meet with you to review your goals and set realistic expectations. During neck liposuction, Dr. Karen will use a suctioning device called a cannula to remove pockets of fat after making a very small incision beneath your jawline. Once he has removed the correct amount of fat and created your desired look, the incision will be carefully sutured together with small stitches. Neck liposuction surgery at Exclusively Faces Cosmetic Surgery and Medispa is completed under general anesthesia as a relatively quick outpatient procedure. While this procedure can be completed on its own and still result in beautiful outcomes, many of our Shenandoah Valley and surrounding area patients choose to have it completed along with another procedure, such as a neck lift, to create their desired result. You may be required to wear compression garments following your surgery to help minimize swelling. Your downtime will vary, depending on if other surgeries were performed simultaneously. It's important not to put a lot of pressure on your neck and chin for a few days following your procedure. Optimal results can be expected within a few months.

How much does neck liposuction cost?
The cost of neck liposuction can vary depending on several factors, including your goals. Following a thorough assessment, Dr. Karen will develop a unique surgical plan for your specific goals. In your initial consultation, Dr. Karen will also review payment methods and how to get low-interest medical financing for your neck liposuction.

Will I have visible scarring?
Dr. Karen places surgical incisions for neck lipoplasty where they can be less visible or easily concealed. In your initial consultation, he will tell you where he can make the incision required for the surgery. These incisions can be made in the natural folds of your skin or just below your jawline, where they are difficult to see. Dr. Karen or someone on his team will discuss scar care instructions — so your stitches heal to be flat and blend with your normal skin.

Does the fat come back after a neck liposuction procedure?
During liposuction, fat cells are removed, which cannot grow back. However, should you gain a large amount of weight after liposuction, your neck can become larger since the remaining fat cells can expand. This is why Dr. Karen recommends you be at or near a healthy, stable weight before surgery. This should make it easier to maintain your surgical results with exercise and a healthy diet.

What is the difference between neck liposuction and KYBELLA injections?
KYBELLA is a new minimally invasive treatment that can reduce small to moderate amounts of fat only in the submental area of the neck. This can be a good option if you want help eliminating fat in your upper neck, which creates the appearance of a double chin. However, if you need significant amounts of fat removed from multiple areas of your neck, neck liposuction is a better choice. In your consultation, Dr. Karen will listen to your concerns and explain your choices, including KYBELLA and liposuction.

Should I get a neck lift or neck liposuction?
Dr. Karen will help you decide if you need a neck lift, neck liposuction, or both in your consultation. In general, a neck lift helps remove loose skin compared to neck liposuction, which eliminates stubborn pockets of fat. Often, getting both a lift and liposuction can give your the best results for a smooth profile. Tell Dr. Karen about all of your goals during your consultation so he can create your unique surgical plan.

Neck liposuction is a great way to remove stubborn pockets of fat from the neck, chiseling the neckline and ridding you of an unwanted double chin.
