Refine Your Jawline and
Chin Contour

Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits beneath your chin and along your neck that don’t respond to diet or exercise. Dr. DeRosa uses precise, gentle techniques to contour and sculpt your neckline, restoring a more defined jawline and smoother transition between your face and neck. The result is a naturally refined, youthful appearance that enhances your overall facial harmony.

Do I Need Neck Liposuction?

If you’ve noticed fullness beneath your chin or along your jawline that makes you look heavier or older than you feel, neck liposuction may be right for you. Dr. DeRosa can help refine your profile and restore youthful definition with beautifully natural results. You may be a good candidate for neck liposuction if:

  • You have excess fat under your chin or along your neck
  • You’re bothered by a “double chin” or lack of jawline definition
  • You maintain a stable weight, but still have stubborn neck fat
  • You want to enhance your facial proportions without extensive surgery
  • You’re in good overall health and have realistic expectations for your results

What Are the Benefits of Neck Liposuction?

  • Removes stubborn fat beneath the chin and along the neck
  • Defines and sharpens the jawline for a more sculpted profile
  • Restores youthful balance between the face and neck
  • Offers subtle, natural-looking improvement with minimal downtime
  • Can be performed alone or combined with other facial procedures

How is Neck Liposuction Performed?

Your neck liposuction is performed in the comfort and privacy of our QUAD A-certified surgical suite. After a local anesthetic with light sedation is administered, Dr. DeRosa makes a few small, well-hidden incisions, usually beneath your chin or just behind the earlobes. Through these, a fine cannula connected to gentle suction removes excess subcutaneous fat from precise layers between the skin and underlying muscle.

Dr. DeRosa carefully sculpts the area to create smooth, even contours, often using a tumescent solution that minimizes bleeding and swelling. The procedure typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes. Once the desired definition is achieved, the small incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, and a soft compression wrap is placed to support healing. Most patients return home the same day with noticeably improved neck and jawline definition.

Neck Liposuction FAQs:

How Long Does Recovery Take After Neck Liposuction?

You can expect mild swelling, tightness, or bruising for about one to two weeks. Most patients return to work and light activities within a few days, but strenuous workouts should be avoided for a few weeks. Wearing a supportive compression garment helps minimize swelling and promotes a smooth, even contour as you heal.

Will I Have Visible Scars After Neck Liposuction?

Scarring is minimal because the incisions are tiny (usually less than a quarter inch) and placed in discreet areas, such as under your chin or behind the ears. With proper care and sun protection, your skin heals beautifully, leaving no obvious signs that you’ve had surgery.

How Long Do Results From Neck Liposuction Last?

The results from neck liposuction are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Once the targeted fat cells are removed, they don’t return, but the remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight. Maintaining a consistent diet and exercise routine can help preserve your refined neckline and jaw contour for years to come.
