The Procedure: How Is Neck Liposuction Performed?
✓ Preparation
- The procedure begins with a consultation to determine your goals and suitability.
- You’ll be advised to avoid certain medications and adhere to pre-operative guidelines to ensure safety.
✓ Anaesthesia
Local or general anaesthesia is used to minimise discomfort.
✓ Incision and Fat Removal
- Tiny incisions are made in discreet locations, such as under the chin or behind the ears.
- A cannula (a thin, hollow tube) is inserted through the incisions. Using gentle suction, excess fat is removed, and the area is shaped for an optimal contour.
✓ Finishing Steps
- Once the fat is removed, the incisions are closed.
- A compression garment is applied to reduce swelling and support the skin as it adjusts to its new shape.
✓ Recovery
The procedure is typically completed in 1-2 hours, with many patients returning home the same day.
Different Types of Neck Liposuction
Neck liposuction can be tailored based on individual needs and goals.
-
Traditional Liposuction:
• Involves the use of a cannula to manually remove fat deposits.
• Suitable for those with good skin elasticity. -
Laser-Assisted Liposuction:
• Uses laser energy to liquefy fat before removal, which may stimulate skin tightening. -
Tumescent Liposuction:
• Involves injecting a solution to numb the area and minimise bleeding before fat removal. -
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL):
• Uses a vibrating cannula to break up fat for easier removal.
Your surgeon will recommend the best approach based on your anatomy and desired outcome.

Am I a Suitable Candidate for Neck Liposuction?
Neck liposuction is suitable for individuals who:
- Have Localised Fat Deposits: Struggling with a double chin or excess fat in the neck area despite maintaining a healthy weight.
- Are in Good Health: Non-smokers with no significant medical conditions that could impede healing.
- Have Good Skin Elasticity: Good skin elasticity may help the skin adapt to changes in contour after surgery.
- Have Realistic Expectations: Patients should understand the procedure’s limitations and focus on improvement rather than perfection.
However, those with significant skin laxity or muscle banding may benefit from combining neck liposuction with a neck lift.
- Changed Neck Contour: Liposuction may be a method for removing localised and stubborn fat deposits.
- Improved Facial Harmony: May balance proportions by reducing excess fat in the neck area.
- Noticeable Results: You may see noticeable changes in body contour shortly after the procedure, with results continuing to refine over time as swelling subsides.
- Minimally Invasive: Neck liposuction is a straightforward procedure with minimal downtime compared to more extensive surgeries.
