What Is Neck & Chin Liposuction?

Neck and chin liposuction is performed by inserting a small instrument, called a cannula, through an incision, then suctioning out unwanted fat cells to contour the targeted areas. This creates a V-shaped jawline with enhanced definition and youthfulness. Fat cells in the chin and jawline can be especially resistant to diet and exercise, making liposuction a particularly effective cosmetic intervention. Dr. P and Dr. Rhee in Long Island focus on precision, artistry, and attention to detail to deliver outstanding, personalized results.

What’s the First Step?

Your neck and chin liposuction treatment starts with an introductory consultation. During this first visit, you will be able to explore your cosmetic vision, have your questions answered clearly and with care, and learn more about the procedure’s risks, downtime, and costs. Dr. P or Dr. Rhee will review your medical history to ensure neck and chin lipo in Long Island can be performed safely and effectively. Once you are ready to proceed with the procedure, we will schedule your appointment at a convenient time and provide preoperative instructions to help ensure a stress-free, rewarding experience.

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

On the day of your Long Island neck and chin liposuction procedure, our friendly team will welcome you into our state-of-the-art facility and place you in a comfortable treatment room. Your treatment will be performed using local anesthesia. However, if you are undergoing additional rejuvenation techniques in conjunction with neck and chin liposuction, general anesthesia may be used.

Once you are relaxed and ready, your surgeon will create tiny incisions beneath the chin and behind the ears. Using a slender tube called a cannula, the unwanted fat cells will be gently suctioned from the upper neck and jawline, leaving a more contoured, youthful appearance.

Once all changes have been made, the incisions will be closed with fine sutures, the treatment areas will be covered with a dressing, and a compression bandage will be applied to reduce postoperative swelling. You can expect your procedure to take around one hour.

Neck & Chin Liposuction Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Neck & Chin Liposuction Care

After your procedure, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, and soreness in the neck and chin. These symptoms can be managed by taking oral painkillers, continuing to wear your compression garment, and getting plenty of rest. Most of our Long Island patients can expect about a week of recovery time. While you can start walking around right away after surgery, you should avoid strenuous workouts for at least 4-6 weeks. We will provide you with a detailed, personalized aftercare plan and will remain available to answer any questions throughout your healing process.
