What Is Neck Liposuction?

Neck liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the neck and under the chin to improve the contour and definition of the jawline. After fat is removed, the skin naturally tightens, revealing a smoother neck profile. To enhance tightening, Dr. Rodriguez may also incorporate technologies such as bipolar radiofrequency to further stimulate skin contraction.

What Is Chin Liposuction?

Chin liposuction specifically targets fat directly beneath the chin, which can persist despite diet and exercise. Combined with neck liposuction, it helps achieve a balanced, sculpted lower face that complements your facial features.

Who’s a Good Candidate?

You may be a candidate for neck and chin liposuction if you:

  • Have stubborn fat beneath the chin (double chin removal) or at the neck
  • Desire a more defined jawline
  • Have good skin elasticity
  • Maintain overall good health
  • Don’t have significant skin laxity that may require additional procedures

Dr. Rodriguez performs these treatments individually or combines them for optimal contouring. Some patients also benefit by pairing neck and chin liposuction with buccal fat removal to minimize “chubby” cheeks, further refining the midface and jawline.

Your Procedure

Both procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Additional numbing injections and medications further minimize pain, bleeding, and bruising.

  • Small incisions are made beneath the chin and behind the ears.
  • Dr. Rodriguez uses a thin cannula to carefully and evenly remove excess fat, refining the contours of the jaw and neck.
  • Precision and symmetry are priorities throughout the procedure to ensure natural-looking results.

No drain tubes are required, and most patients return home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions to facilitate a smooth, comfortable recovery.

Thanks to Dr. Rodriguez’s enhanced postsurgical protocols, patients typically experience less downtime and achieve optimal results, allowing you to return to your routine more quickly and comfortably.

While every recovery is unique, here’s a general overview of the recovery process:

  • Wear a compression garment under the chin to support healing and contouring
  • Initial swelling and mild discomfort subside within the first 1 to 2 weeks
  • Most patients return to desk work within about 1 week
  • Resume regular exercise around 4 weeks post-op
  • Scars are discrete and fade significantly over time (Dr. Rodriguez recommends scar therapy and sun protection)

It may take up to 6 months for swelling to fully resolve, revealing your slimmer neck and jawline. Maintaining a healthy weight helps preserve your results.
