Neck Liposculpture Procedure
DEFINE & CONTOUR
Liposculpture precisely removes excess fat from the neck, jowls and chin to dramatically enhance the jaw and neck contour. The targeted approach that liposuction affords is unparalleled and results in customized contouring of the neck and jaw. Mild skin laxity is also improved during the healing process following liposuction and can be further enhanced using Renuvion® skin tightening technology.
What to Expect
All procedures are done in a balanced and natural esthetic.
Consultation
During the consultation we will focus on creating a treatment plan that addresses your goals and fulfills your expectations. We will discuss your areas of concern and the opportunities for contour improvement using liposuction and skin tightening with the Renuvion® device. I will review your current exercise regimen, diet and history of weight fluctuation. In this way, I can properly counsel you on the expected long-term results. For instance, if you have recently lost weight on a crash diet, then the liposculpture result we achieve will be short-lived as you return to your regular diet and exercise habits.
Liposculpture is not an efficient weight-loss tool and when used as such will yield disappointing results. Rather, liposculpture is intended to highlight your natural contours by removing fat from stubborn areas, giving you the neck contour you always imagined. Incision locations will be demonstrated so that you will leave the consultation with a clear idea of the expected result. Liposuction is truly an amazing procedure as it combines artistry with technology, which is constantly improving to give patients incredible life-changing results.
Surgery
For small volume neck liposuction and Renuvion® skin tightening, in-office treatment under local anesthesia may be considered. For broad treatment areas requiring more aggressive fat removal and for patients who wish to have sedation or general anesthesia, the procedure is performed at an accredited surgery center in Newport Beach, California, USA. Under the care of a Board Certified Anesthesiologist, anesthesia is used to ensure maximal comfort and safety. The length of the surgery varies according to the extent of contouring that must be performed. Patience is the key to achieving the best possible outcome during these procedures.
The incisions for neck liposculpture are approximately 3 millimeters and placed in the natural crease beneath the chin as well as behind the earlobes. They are nearly imperceptible upon complete healing.
Recovery
Patients are discharged home the same day and generally experience very minimal discomfort, often returning to light work within a week following surgery. Post-operatively, patients are advised to gradually resume their exercise regimen over a 4-week period in order to ensure proper healing. During the 4-weeks following surgery, a compression garment is worn to control swelling in the neck and mold the final contour.
Results
The results are intended to be long-lasting provided patients maintain a healthy lifestyle and adhere to a comprehensive skin care regimen.
