Neck Liposuction
Commonly performed in conjunction with a neck lift to improve the appearance of sagging skin, this procedure can help make the patient appear younger and slimmer. For those struggling with stubborn neck fat that diet and exercise can’t seem to eliminate, neck liposuction provides an effective, minimally invasive solution. Dr. Jacob Sedgh, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, specializes in head, neck, and facial aesthetic procedures. Known for his precise and artistic approach, Dr. Sedgh’s neck liposuction surgery is designed to enhance the natural contours of the neck, offering a youthful, sculpted look with long-lasting results.

- Stubborn pockets of fat in the neck area
- Platysma muscle banding
- Double chin
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
- More sculpted neckline
- Youthful and vibrant appearance

NECK LIPOSUCTION PROCEDURE & RECOVERY
Neck liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure, typically under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia based on patient preference and case complexity. Dr. Sedgh’s surgical approach ensures precise fat removal and minimal scarring.
- Incisions: Small incisions are placed discreetly under the chin or behind the ears.
- Fat Removal: Using a thin cannula, Dr. Sedgh removes targeted fat deposits to contour the neck and enhance jawline definition. In some cases, laser-assisted liposuction may be used to break down fat cells for easier removal.
- Compression Dressing: After removing the fat, a compression dressing is applied to support healing and reduce swelling.
For patients with significant skin laxity, a neck lift may be recommended alongside liposuction to achieve optimal skin tightening. Dr. Sedgh will discuss this during the consultation to create a tailored plan based on individual needs.
Most patients recover from neck liposuction in about two weeks, with minimal downtime. Here’s what to expect:
- Initial swelling and bruising: Mild swelling and bruising may appear in the neck for about 10-14 days.
- Aftercare regimen: Dr. Sedgh will prescribe a specific aftercare routine and any necessary medications to facilitate proper healing and reduce infection risk.
- Post-op monitoring: Dr. Sedgh personally monitors each patient’s recovery with follow-up appointments starting from day one to a year post-surgery, ensuring safe and satisfactory healing.
