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 sculpted for a natural 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 most 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 Good 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:
This ensures the skin can conform to the new contours post-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.
Possible Benefits of Neck Liposuction
- 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. - Noticable 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.
