What Is Neck Liposuction?

Neck liposuction, also called submental liposuction or double chin removal, selectively removes stubborn fat beneath the chin and along the jawline to create a cleaner angle under the chin and a sharper facial profile.

Dr. Kamrava uses small, discreetly placed incisions, typically placed under the chin and behind the ears, and a fine cannula to contour the area. Depending on your treatment plan, neck liposuction can often be performed under local anesthesia.

What Does Neck Liposuction Treat?

The procedure helps address:

  • A “double chin” or fullness beneath the chin
  • Stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise
  • A poorly defined jawline caused by excess fat, not skin laxity

Neck liposuction pairs well with other procedures, such as facelift, buccal fat removal, or chin augmentation to further refine facial contours, improve definition, and create facial balance.

What Are the Benefits of Neck Liposuction?

Neck liposuction with Dr. Kamrava offers:

  • A more defined jawline
  • Natural-looking contour visible within weeks
  • Minimal downtime with well-concealed scars
  • Long-lasting results

Dr. Kamrava’s training in head and neck surgery gives him an in-depth understanding of the anatomy that shapes a well-defined and natural-looking jawline.

Am I a Good Candidate for Neck Liposuction?

Good candidates for neck liposuction are typically healthy adults with good skin elasticity and stubborn fat beneath the chin that hasn’t responded to diet or exercise. Patients with significant skin laxity or muscle banding are often better candidates for a neck lift instead.

A thorough consultation with Dr. Kamrava will determine whether neck liposuction or a neck lift is the right approach for your needs.

Flexible financing options through trusted partners are also available to help make your procedure more accessible.

How Long Is Neck Liposuction Recovery?

Recovery from neck liposuction is typically minimal, with most patients returning to work and daily routines within a few days. While recovery varies, most patients can expect the following healing stages:

  • First few days Mild swelling and tightness
  • 3 to 7 days Return to work and social commitments
  • 1 to 2 weeks Swelling substantially settles, and contours become refined
  • 2 to 3 weeks Resumption of normal, daily lifestyle
  • 1 to 3+ months Final results are established as minor residual swelling resolves

Dr. Kamrava provides detailed postoperative instructions to help manage your comfort and support healing throughout recovery.

Neck Liposuction FAQ

Will neck liposuction leave visible scars?

Not usually. Dr. Kamrava places small incisions under the chin and behind the ears, where the resulting scars are typically difficult to see once healed.


Is neck liposuction the same as a neck lift?

No. Neck liposuction only removes fat, while a neck lift also tightens loose skin and muscle. Patients with primarily fat-related fullness and good skin elasticity are generally better candidates for liposuction alone.


Will the fat come back after neck liposuction?

No. Fat cells removed during liposuction do not return, making results long-lasting. Significant weight gain can still affect your results over time, however.


Is neck liposuction safe?

Yes, neck liposuction is generally considered safe when performed by an experienced facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Kamrava. As with any surgery, it carries some risks, such as swelling, bruising, or minor discomfort. Dr. Kamrava will discuss these potential risks and how to manage them during your consultation.
