Introduction

Introduction to Neck & Chin Liposuction

Facial liposuction is quickly becoming a high-demand procedure as liposuction techniques get more precise with technological advancements. Neck & chin liposuction is a type of liposuction that focuses on the neck, jawline, and chin area. Clients who struggle with fatty tissue resistant to diet and exercise in their lower face are ideal candidates for neck and chin liposuction. This procedure is not intended for those seeking to lose weight, but rather to enhance contouring and define facial balance. In fact, for safety, there’s a limit on how much fat can be extracted in one session. If you are looking for facial liposuction, specifically neck and chin liposuction, in the greater Virginia Beach area, contact The Carney Center. Please read below for more information.

What is Neck & Chin Liposuction?

Neck & chin liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that targets excess fatty tissue accumulated in the neck & chin area using liposuction, resulting in a more defined and contoured lower facial area. Using small incisions and a cannula attached to a suction device, this procedure sucks out excess fat from sagging jowls and double chins, creating a tighter jawline. Given the smaller target area of the jawline, neck, and chin, this procedure is faster than major liposuction with lower recovery time and reduced scarring.

What Are the Benefits of Neck & Chin Liposuction?

Our patients who have received neck & chin liposuction in Virginia Beach have enjoyed a boost in their self-esteem and long-lasting results. Some other benefits include:

Improved facial proportions
Reduction in neckbands
More defined jawline
Reduction in double chin
Reduction in sagging jowls

Who Are The Best Candidates For Neck & Chin Liposuction?

The best candidates for neck and chin liposuction in Virginia Beach are patients who do not approach this procedure as a treatment for obesity. Ideal candidates will share some of the following characteristics:

Have a stable weight
good skin elasticity
Low self-esteem due to sagging jowls and a double chin
Maintain realistic expectations
No underlying medical conditions
Non-smokers

What’s the
first step?

The first step in getting neck & chin liposuction in Virginia Beach is to schedule a consultation with one of our expert surgeons at The Carney Center. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss your medical history, aesthetic desires, and your expectations. It is important to be honest with the surgeon since liposuction can be risky for some chronic conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes. Your surgeon will examine your neck and chin area to identify target incision areas and outline the best techniques for your case, including their associated risks, benefits, and recovery profile. This is a great time to ask any questions you might have about the procedure and share any ideas for combined procedures.

Once you both agree to move forward, your surgeon will create a customized surgical plan to try to meet your aesthetic goals. If you are satisfied with this plan, you can take it to the patient concierge for scheduling, pricing, and receiving pre-operative instructions.

What to Expect on the Day of Neck & Chin Liposuction Surgery

On the day of your neck & chin liposuction in Virginia Beach, your surgeon and their staff will receive you at The Carney Center, getting you settled in the procedure room. A member of the staff will review your surgical plan to ensure you have no outstanding questions. Once you are ready to move forward, a CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) will administer general anesthesia to make you comfortable for the entirety of the surgery.

Once sedated, your surgeon will make a small incision to insert the cannula for liposuction. After the excess fat has been suctioned out, the surgeon will remove the cannula and seal the incision. In most cases, your surgeon will apply a compression garment to the neck to help prevent swelling and aid in healing.

On average, without complications, the procedure takes about an hour to complete.

Neck & Chin Liposuction Recovery

Post-surgery, the staff will monitor you in the recovery room until the sedation wears off. Patients are encouraged to find a family member or friend to provide them with a ride home.

Patients should take a week off from work and avoid any strenuous activity. They should also wear the compression garment and follow any post-operative instructions, including keeping up with basic body movement to prevent blood clots.
