Before and after liposuction of the neck in a 47-year-old woman. She felt her neck was starting to look like her grandmother’s and she was not ready for that! She did not want to an invasive procedure like a neck lift, but wanted to improve the contour of her jawline.
Liposuction of the neck, known as the submental region (rather than the chin) was performed in the office under local anesthesia. Nearly a full cup of fat was permanently removed through three tiny incisions. Postoperatively, she wore a compressive chin strap for a full month after surgery, which helped to reduce swelling and limit bruising.
Follow up photos are shown 5 months after surgery.
