The human neck collects more fat than many other parts of the body, regardless of healthy diet and exercises. Deposits of fat in the neck is commonly found in aged people. Neck liposuction is an effective solution to this problem. It is a procedure used to remove excess fat that has accumulated in the lower face and under the chin. The surgery tightens the sagging skin and is effective in both men and women.

Neck liposuction is performed by making a small incision behind the ears. In order to extract the fat deposits in the specified area, the surgeon inserts a thin tube known as cannula through the incision. Surgeons make use of cannula to break up the unwanted fat and to sculpt the fatty area to meet the patient?s expectations.

Dry liposuction, the super-wet technique, the tumescent technique, and the ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) are some of the techniques used in neck liposuction. Dry liposuction is the oldest method and is not common now. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction utilizes sound waves to liquefy the fat after the injection of fluids. UAL reduces trauma, bruising, and blood loss.

It is possible to combine other procedures with a neck liposuction. Muscle repair, neck lifts, and chin implants are some additional procedures that can be mixed with neck liposuction. By combining these procedures, patients get noticeable improvements in their facial appearance. Most surgeons offer reduced rates for performing additional procedures in one session. Neck liposuction is usually performed in an hour's time and is considered an outpatient procedure. Liposuctions involving additional procedures requires more time. Upon completion of surgery, patients can return to work within a few days.
