Preparation
Patients should be at a stable weight.
Hospital Stay
No overnight stay in the hospital is required.
Assistance
You will be able to walk around, feed, and bathe yourself. Depending on your pain medication requirements, you may not be able to care for others or drive a car.
Exercise
Light exercise is ok 1 week after surgery. Regular exercise after 2 weeks.
Work
One week or less depending on your type of work.
Swelling
Usually, it peaks around 3 days and gradually goes away.
Candidates
Neck liposuction is ideal for those who have isolated areas of excess fat that is causing the neck to acquire a loose, saggy appearance as well as the formation of unsightly wrinkles. The best candidates are in good physical health and have realistic expectations.
Procedure
During the procedure, we’ll make a small skin incision under/behind the chin and use cannulas to access the treatment area. The isolated area of excess fat is then artfully removed to leave behind a pleasing contour. This is why some plastic surgeons refer to liposuction as “liposculpture.”
