Neck Liposuction | Montgomery AL
In select patients with isolated excess fatty tissue under the neck liposuction alone can be used to achieve excellent contour. This procedure is typically for younger patients with minimal skin laxity and good elasticity. When used, it is typically performed with FaceTite and Rf microneedling in what is known as the EMBRACE procedure (click here for more information). These two modalities add additional skin tightening after the volume has been removed by liposuction. If excess loose skin is present a lower face and neck lift is often a better choice. Submental liposuction is appropriate for someone who would also be a candidate for Kybella, which we no longer perform due to price, variable outcomes, and need for multiple treatments. The advantages of liposuction are 1 treatment, similar cost, and often a more profound result.
Procedure
The procedure itself is quite simple and takes about 30 minutes. Dr. Nizam will make a small incision under the chin and two more small incisions that are hidden under the earlobe. A straw like device called a liposuction cannula is used to remove the excess fat. As stated above the procedure is commonly performed with FaceTite and RF micro needling to help tighten the tissue once the volume is removed. The procedure is performed under sedation or general anesthesia and takes around 1 hour.
Recovery
Social downtime is approximately 1 week. An elastic neck compression device is worn for the first week. Sutures are removed at 1 week. The neck wrap is worn at night for the second week. Final contour is usually appreciated at 3-6 months.
