As we age, certain body areas may accumulate fat that is hard to lose despite a healthy diet and vigorous exercise. The neck is one such area. Fatty deposits can detract from the appearance of the entire body, making a younger person look older, or a fit individual seem out of shape. Liposuction gives the neck a streamlined contour, enhancing facial features and improving the profile. This minimally invasive surgery provides consistently good results and exceptionally high satisfaction rates.

What Makes us Different From Others?
Neck liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes fat deposits under the chin and along the jawline to reshape and contour the neck. It can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Dr. Solomon makes small incisions under the chin and inserts a cannula attached to a vacuum device to loosen and remove excess fat. Neck liposuction helps to define the jawline and create a slimmer neck profile by eliminating stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. The procedure leaves minimal scarring since the small incisions are hidden under the chin.
The following information will provide an excellent introduction if you’re considering neck liposuction. For more details about how this procedure may help you, we recommend consulting Dr. Solomon, our top cosmetic facial surgeon. He will evaluate the amount and location of fat under the chin and neck, skin elasticity, and your aesthetic goals. Dr. Solomon will also review your medical history and any medications or supplements you take.
If cleared for surgery, you will be given pre-operative guidelines to follow, such as discontinuing certain medications that increase bleeding risks. The night before the procedure, patients may be instructed not to eat or drink anything after midnight (if general anesthesia will be used). Arrangements should also be made for a friend or family member to provide transportation after surgery and assist in at-home recovery for 1-2 days. Clearance from a primary care physician may also be required before undergoing neck liposuction.
During liposuction, a small incision is made just below the chin, and excess fat is removed from the neck through a cannula. Dr. George Solomon prefers the tumescent (“superwet”) liposuction technique. This method involves injecting a solution of saline, a numbing agent, and a substance that controls bleeding. Tumescent liposuction may be a stand-alone procedure, but in most cases, it is combined with advanced technology, such as ultrasound, laser, or power-assisted cannulas.
Dr. Solomon selects the most suitable technique based on the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Dr. George Solomon often performs neck liposuction with a neck lift or facelift. Liposuction can greatly improve the patient’s look. It corrects the double chin and counteracts the natural aging process. A neck lift procedure can enhance these results by removing excess skin and creating a more defined facial appearance.
In addition, some individuals may be candidates for a chin implant. Dr. Solomon often combines neck liposuction with this cosmetic enhancement to achieve better results. During the consultation, the appropriate assessments will be made to determine whether a lift or an implant will be needed to attain the desired outcomes.
Neck and chin liposuction can be an ideal procedure for individuals looking to refine the contours of their neck by reducing excess fat deposits. People who want a more defined jawline or improved profile often choose this treatment because it is minimally invasive and highly effective. Below are the primary groups who may be suitable candidates for neck liposuction:
