Neck & Jowl Liposuction

Fat removal of the neck and jowls is a relatively simple aesthetic surgery procedure that can produce results similar to those achieved with a facelift at a lower cost. It’s an effective way to get rid of excess fat and tighten skin around the jaw with minimal risk and is one of the most common liposuction procedures performed. It may be done as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with a facelift. 

Fat in the neck and jowls is usually related to obesity, but can occur in people of normal weight, as well. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and tends to sag. Jowls, in particular, are affected by the aging process, especially after the age of 50. A loss of mandibular definition and volume frequently accompanies drooping jowls.

Candidates for neck and jowl liposuction will have excess fat in these areas, with good skin elasticity. Those who are not candidates for a traditional facelift due to medical or lifestyle factors (e.g. diabetes, smoking) may benefit from liposuction due to the lower risks involved.

Recovery is quick usually within three days and complications are rare. Results are immediate and long-lasting; you’ll appear younger and slimmer right away with a contoured, sculpted chin and better-defined jaw line.
