Liposuction of the neck (double chin)

Liposuction of the double chin and neck area is very effective.  The neck beneath the chin is a concave surface.  The “slack” of the excess skin of the neck can be taken up due to the unique concave shape of the neck.

How is liposuction of the double chin performed?

The skin in the neck is quite thin.  Small diameter cannulas should be used treating both the deep fat and that associated with the skin.

What after care is involved with double chin liposuction?

It is extremely important to wear the compression garment to help encourage skin redraping.  The garment should be worn day and night as much as possible for 3 weeks after surgery.

What kind of anesthesia is used for neck liposuction?

Liposuction in the neck area generally requires very little sedation.  It is easy to get very good local anesthesia in this area.
