What is Neck Liposuction
The neck area is highly susceptible to age, gravity, weight gain, and weight loss. Some of the first and most obvious signs of aging are a drooping or sagging neck. Neck liposuction is one of the most effective and relied-upon ways to create a younger, slimmer, and more contoured appearance.
Dr. Shire at Shire Facial Plastic Surgery is an experienced and skilled facial plastic surgeon specializing in neck liposuction. As the leading plastic surgeon in Chattanooga, he is proud to offer a personalized experience, the highest level of care, and the most attractive and natural-looking results.
Neck Liposuction Overview
Neck liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the neck and chin area, leading to a thinner, more contoured, and youthful appearance. This procedure is incredibly effective at creating a natural and sculpted neck appearance and often makes it look like you have lost weight!
Neck liposuction is an outpatient cosmetic procedure. It is also called neck lipo, chin and neck lipo, or double chin lipo. During your procedure, Dr. Shire will make one or two tiny incisions that are naturally hidden behind your ears. He then uses a liposuction cannula to remove excess fat and add definition to your neck and chin areas. You will remain awake for your neck lipo procedure, which typically takes one to two hours.
Am I A Good Candidate?
Neck liposuction is performed on adult men and women of all ages. To be a good candidate for this type of neck fat removal, you should thoroughly understand the procedure and be in good physical health. You are likely a perfect candidate if you have excess or stubborn fat in this area with good skin elasticity.
If you have excess skin in this area or your skin does not have much elasticity, a neck lift may be a better choice. During a neck lift, Dr. Shire removes and tightens excess chin and neck skin. Many patients choose to combine neck liposuction with a neck lift procedure for the most optimal results.
