What Is Neck Liposuction?
A "double chin" is usually caused by excess neck fat. At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery, we use liposuction to remove this fat, reducing jowls and double chin and enhancing the jawline and throat for a more defined look. This method tightens muscles and adjusts soft tissues, effectively removing both small and large fat deposits for a slimmer neckline.

What Is the Surgical Technique?
For neck liposuction, a suctioning device known as a cannula removes the unwanted fat through tiny incisions beneath the jawline and below each earlobe. Liposuction of the neck may be performed in the office under a combination of local anesthesia and oral sedation. After the procedure, the incisions are carefully stitched closed. While neck liposuction can be performed as a standalone procedure, many patients opt to combine it with additional treatments, such as skin tightening, to achieve their desired results.
What Are the Benefits of Neck Liposuction?

Neck Liposuction Reviews
Dr. Butler performed neck liposuction in office and at 6 weeks post op there is a significant difference - which is awesome. Dr. Butler has a great bed side manner, was patient and explained things well as I had a lot of questions , and he was honest about realistic expectations and timelines. Support staff and facility are all in great shape as well. I went with Dr. Butler after several months of reviewing surgeries within a 90 mile radius and I made the right choice going with him.
Dr. Butler did my eyelids a few years ago and a facelift with neck lipo in August 2025. I couldn't have had a better experience and results. He is honest about what to expect, has a great sense of humor, and is the best surgeon. I knew I was in good hands from start to finish, and I thank him and his staff for their professionalism and friendliness.

Am I A Candidate For Neck Liposuction?
Ideal candidates for neck liposuction are typically adults who are in good overall health but are bothered by the appearance of excess fat under their chin and along their neckline. They should have good skin elasticity, as liposuction removes fat but does not significantly tighten loose or sagging skin. Patients with realistic expectations who are looking for a more defined jawline and a slimmer neck profile are often excellent candidates for this procedure. A consultation with our team can determine if this is the right option for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is neck liposuction safe?
Neck liposuction is generally considered a safe procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. As with any surgery, there are some risks involved, such as bleeding and infection. However, these risks can be minimized by following the recommended aftercare instructions and working with a skilled professional.
How long does it take to see results from neck liposuction?
The initial results of neck liposuction can usually be seen within 1-2 weeks after the procedure. However, full results may take several months as swelling subsides and the skin tightens over the newly contoured area. Our trained team can provide a more detailed timeline during a consultation in Pensacola, FL.
Will I have visible scars from neck liposuction?
In most cases, the incisions made for neck liposuction are very small and can be easily hidden within the natural folds of the skin or in inconspicuous areas. At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery, we use advanced techniques to minimize the potential for scarring and promote faster healing. If you have any concerns about scarring, please feel free to reach out.
