A smooth, beautiful neckline can make a big difference to your overall facial appearance. Neck liposuction in Manhattan is a great option for individuals who want a firmer, smoother, attractive chin and neckline. The procedure removes stubborn fat deposits in the chin and neck area, and creates a more define jawline, resulting in a more contoured profile.

How does Neck Liposuction work?

In Manhattan plastic surgery practices, skilled surgeons use the laser-assisted Smartlipo Triplex device to perform neck contouring. After the treatment site is marked and local anesthetic is administered, a very small incision is made to insert the cannula of the device. Laser energy is delivered to target the fat cells and dissolve the excess fat. To liquefy fat and tighten skin, the device uses three different laser wavelengths (1440, 1064, and 1320 nm). The liquefied fat is safely and painlessly suctioned out. The procedure coagulates the tissues and minimizes bleeding. It also tightens the skin and stimulates collagen production, providing smoother outcomes.

Smartlipo Triplex laser liposuction precisely targets unwanted fat while protecting the nearby tissues. Its special intelligent delivery mechanisms allow the surgeon to regulate the energy flow and track skin temperature, lowering the risk of overtreatment.

Advantages of Laser-assisted Neck liposuction

  • Removes stubborn fat safely and effectively: Neck fat can occur even if you maintain a healthy diet and workout regularly. Some individuals are genetically predisposed to accumulating adipose tissue around their neck and jawline. This fat can be challenging to address with conventional measures. Neck liposuction can eliminate it.

  • Reshapes your profile: Eliminating extra neck fat can significantly enhance your facial profile. By removing stubborn fat tissue around your neck and under your chin, liposuction results in more sculpted, attractive profile.

  • Flexible: You can combine neck liposuction with other cosmetic surgical procedures. It can be carried out independently or in tandem with a facelift and neck lift. Patients who have moderately elastic or firm skin and do not require extra skin removal are most suited for neck laser liposuction as a stand-alone operation.

  • Minimal scarring and bruising: Smartlipo involves just tiny incisions placed in discreet locations. Typically, you can anticipate having small incisions under your chin and/or behind your ears. Bruises and scars are mild and will usually fade within a few weeks.

  • Short downtime: Neck liposuction is a short, minimally invasive procedure. Recovery is usually not too difficult. Most people only require about a week off from work; by then, most swelling and bruises would have subsided. Patients can typically resume full exercise after about two weeks.
  • If you are considering neck liposuction in Manhattan, choose an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery center that offers the services of qualified cosmetic surgeons who are experienced in performing it. Experienced surgeons will provide individualized treatment and comprehensive care until full recovery.
