At The Cohen Clinic for Plastic Surgery in McLean, Virginia, we offer neck liposuction for individuals looking to enhance the contours of their neck and jawline. Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that targets excess fat in the neck area, often called a “double chin,” to create a more defined appearance. This procedure is ideal for those seeking a smoother, more sculpted neckline without extensive surgery.
Neck liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes unwanted fat deposits from the neck and under the chin using a precise suction technique. The procedure is designed to refine the neck and jawline contours, giving patients a slimmer, more defined profile. By removing fat and improving the neck’s shape, neck liposuction can dramatically enhance facial balance and overall appearance. The treatment is minimally invasive and often performed with other facial procedures.
Ideal candidates for neck liposuction are individuals with good skin elasticity and are bothered by excess fat under the chin or around the neck. This procedure is most effective for those close to their ideal weight but who struggle with localized fat that does not respond to diet and exercise. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the outcome. During a consultation, Dr. Cohen will assess your anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine if neck liposuction is the right option for you.
Neck liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, though general anesthesia may be used for more extensive cases. Dr. Cohen will make small incisions in discreet areas under the chin or around the neck. A thin tube, or cannula, is inserted to break up and remove the fat deposits, creating a smoother, more contoured neck profile. The procedure usually takes around one hour, and once the desired fat removal is achieved, the incisions are closed, and a compression garment is applied to support the healing process.
After neck liposuction, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort, which typically subsides within a week or two. Dr. Cohen will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and help you achieve optimal results. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, though strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks. The neck will reveal a more defined and slimmer contour as the swelling goes down, with full results becoming apparent in a few months. Neck liposuction provides long-lasting results, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
At The Cohen Clinic patients receive more than just rejuvenating surgical and cosmetic treatments. Dr. Justin Cohen takes the time to truly understand his patients and their unique goals. He gives honest recommendations and believes every result should be natural and personalized.
