What Is Neck Liposuction?

Neck liposuction is a precise cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the neck and under the chin to create a more defined jawline and balanced facial contour. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have good skin elasticity but struggle with fullness beneath the chin, often referred to as a “double chin” or excess neck fat. Using small, well-placed incisions, our facial plastic surgeon will gently suction out targeted fat deposits to enhance the shape of your neck and lower face, often resulting in a slimmer, more refined silhouette.

Benefits of Neck Liposuction

A smoother, more refined line from neck to chin
Improved definition of the jawline and chin
Long-lasting results with minimal scarring
Quick recovery and relatively low downtime
Boost in overall facial harmony and confidence

Are You a Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for neck liposuction in Richmond if you:

Are in overall good health
Have localized fat under the chin or in the neck area
Have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone
Prefer a minimally invasive approach to refining the neck
Want a more defined, youthful appearance without undergoing a full neck lift

During your consultation, our surgical specialist will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and help determine whether neck liposuction or a combination procedure is the best option for you.

Your Consultation

If neck liposuction is the right approach, we’ll develop a tailored surgical plan that prioritizes both aesthetics and safety.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Neck liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure. Through small incisions placed discreetly behind the ears or beneath the chin, your surgeon will carefully remove excess fat to sculpt a more refined contour.

The procedure usually takes about one hour and is completed on an outpatient basis, meaning you’ll go home the same day.

After Neck Liposuction: Recovery and Results

Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for the first week after surgery. A compression garment may be worn to support the new contour as the area heals. Downtime is minimal, with many patients resuming light activities within a few days.

Results will continue to improve over several weeks as swelling subsides, revealing a more sculpted, youthful neckline. For those with good skin elasticity, neck liposuction offers a long-lasting enhancement.

Related Procedures

In some cases, neck liposuction may be combined with:

Chin augmentation to enhance projection
Neck lift to address loose skin or muscle banding
Facelift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation

Your surgeon will recommend the best plan to meet your goals during your consultation.
