Neck Liposuction
Conveniently located to serve Charleston, SC
Neck liposuction in Charleston, SC, focuses on removing stubborn fat from under the chin. Fat accumulation in this area is very common. It comes about as a result of causes ranging from weight gain to fat distribution and genetics. A neck liposuction procedure is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for addressing this excess fat.
Many people, even those who are at a healthy weight, have excess stubborn fat under their chin and on the top portion of their neck. Often referred to as a double chin, it gives the neck an out-out-shape appearance and keeps it from looking slender. Fat deposits in the subcutaneous tissues of the neck are very hard to get rid of without surgical assistance.
Dr. Jason Ulm can use a variety of liposuction techniques to remove this stubborn fat, which cannot be addressed through regular diet or exercise. Neck lipo permanently gets rid of the fat and leaves the patient’s neck with a slimmer and more defined look.
Are You an Ideal Candidate?
An ideal neck liposuction candidate will have good skin tone, elasticity, and muscle definition. Since the procedure is very safe, it can be undergone by anyone in their late teens and early adulthood ranging to people in their 40s or 50s.
Dr. Ulm will first examine the patient and decide whether the treatment is suitable for them. If he notices that you also have sagging skin or other aesthetic neck issues, he may instead recommend neck lift surgery to address these.
What to Expect During Neck Liposuction
This form of neck plastic surgery removes fat stored beneath the skin without any changes to the outer skin and its tone. Dr. Ulm can use different neck liposuction techniques for fat removal depending on every individual patient’s goals and physical anatomy.
The patient is first given local anesthesia to numb the area. One or two very small incisions are then made under the chin or behind the ears. A tube called a cannula is inserted through these incisions. Excess fat is suctioned out through the tube using medical suction. Finally, the incisions are closed for quick healing.
Neck Liposuction Recovery
The recovery and downtime for this fat-removal procedure is relatively short and easy. Everyday physical activities can be continued starting the day after the procedure. However, vigorous exercise is not recommended until cleared by Dr. Ulm. Keeping’s one head elevated is vital for reduction of bruising and swelling.
To get the best results after neck liposuction, make sure to listen carefully to Dr. Ulm’s post-surgical care directions. This will help avoid any concerns and give the best possible outcome.
Expected Results
After the neck lipo procedure, patients can expect sharper angles along the jaw and a fitter and more youthful appearance. The neckline looks more contoured and sculpted, and the double chin has vanished.
How Much Does Neck Liposuction Cost?
The cost of neck liposuction is impacted by the amount of tissue removed from the area. The price of neck lipo is also affected by the type of anesthesia used and the overall time needed to perform the procedure.
