At Stein Plastic Surgery, neck liposuction, performed by double board-certified Dr. Stein, effectively addresses sagging skin, excess fat, double chin, jowls, and neck banding. If you’re seeking a more defined, youthful neckline, Dr. Stein’s expertise ensures personalized care and exceptional results tailored to your unique aesthetic goals.
Tighten Your Neck and Remove Excess Fat
Neck liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and tightens the skin in the neck area. This technique targets common concerns like a double chin, sagging skin, and jowls. During the procedure, small incisions are made beneath the chin or behind the ears to minimize scarring. Liposuction is utilized to suction out unwanted fat.
What a Neck Liposuction Can Do for You
A neck liposuction can dramatically enhance your appearance by addressing various aesthetic concerns in the neck area. This procedure can help you achieve a more youthful and defined neckline, providing benefits that include:
- Reducing excess fat for a slimmer profile
- Tightening sagging skin for improved elasticity
- Eliminating a double chin for a more contoured jawline
- Smoothing out jowls for a refined facial structure
- Addressing neck banding for a more youthful appearance
- Enhancing facial harmony by balancing proportions
- Creating a smoother transition from the chin to the neck
Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Liposuction?
You may be a good candidate for neck liposuction if you are in overall good health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the results. The ideal candidates typically experience excess fat, sagging skin, or other aesthetic concerns in the neck area. It’s important that you do not have any underlying medical conditions that could complicate surgery or hinder healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or blood clotting disorders.
Before proceeding, Dr. Stein will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history and aesthetic goals. During the consultation, he will assess your neck’s condition and discuss any potential risks, ensuring that you are well informed and prepared for the procedure.
What Happens During the Neck Liposuction?
The neck liposuction procedure typically takes 2-3 hours, depending on the complexity of your individual case. It begins with the administration of IV sedation, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout surgery. Dr. Stein will make incisions either submentally (under the chin) or retroauricularly (behind the ears), allowing for minimal visible scarring. These incisions enable access to the underlying tissues while preserving the skin’s integrity.
Dr. Stein will perform liposuction using a cannula to remove excess subcutaneous fat. The cannula is inserted into the incisions and connected to a suction device, allowing for precise fat removal without damaging the surrounding structures. After achieving the desired fat reduction, he will tighten the platysma muscle—using sutures if necessary—to create a defined contour and address any neck banding. Once the sculpting is complete, the incisions are closed with absorbable sutures, and a compression garment is applied to promote healing.

Your Consultation With Dr. Stein
During your consultation with Dr. Stein, you will discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns regarding your neck. He will perform a thorough evaluation, examining your neck’s skin quality, fat distribution, and overall facial structure. Dr. Stein will also review your medical history and discuss previous surgeries or health conditions. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and express your expectations. He will explain the neck liposuction procedure, potential risks, and recovery process, ensuring you feel confident in your decision before proceeding.
What Can I Expect From Recovery?
Following your neck liposuction, you can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few days. The initial recovery period typically lasts about one to two weeks. You will be advised to wear a compression garment continuously during this time to minimize swelling and support your healing neck. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage discomfort, and you should plan for reduced activity levels to allow your body to heal.
By the end of the second week, most of the swelling will begin to subside, and you can gradually resume light activities. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks. The full results become evident around 3-6 months post-surgery, as the final swelling resolves and your neck contours settle into their new shape. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Stein will ensure your recovery is progressing smoothly.
Complementary Procedures
To enhance your results from neck liposuction, consider complementary procedures such as a facelift, brow lift, or chin augmentation. These treatments can improve overall facial harmony and rejuvenate your appearance. Dr. Stein will discuss possible options for complementary procedures during your consultation.
