Neck Liposuction Surgery on Cape Cod
One of the common areas where people get liposuction is around the neck and/or jowls. In fact, many patients who consider getting a facelift get neck liposuction alongside it. Like other liposuction procedures, neck liposuction helps decrease the appearance of excess fat. Here at Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery, we provide a variety of facial rejuvenation treatments, including surgical neck liposuction, minimally invasive radiofrequency-assisted liposuction, and skin tightening treatments. At our offices, everything begins with a comprehensive and straightforward consultation, where our board-certified plastic surgeons can discuss your goals and help create a tailored treatment plan.

How Does Neck Liposuction Work?
Liposuction treatments remove stubborn body fat from localized areas. Neck liposuction primarily targets the chin and neck area to help patients create a more defined jawline and handle aesthetic issues like “turkey neck” or a “double chin”. Like other liposuction treatments, neck liposuction only removes fat. It does not tighten or remove excess skin. While surgical procedures like a facelift are used to remove skin, there are also non-surgical treatments like Morpheus8 that can provide a degree of skin tightening. Our experienced providers can walk you through your options and make recommendations based on your needs and goals.
The procedure is done in a hosptical setting under anesthesia. To start, your board-certified plastic surgeon will make a small incision discreetly either under the chin or behind the ear to minimize visible scarring. This incision is extremely small and allows a thin tube to be used to break up and suck out excess fat cells. From there, your surgeon will sculpt your jawline and neck, so you have a natural contour. Finally, the incision is closed, and you are provided with clear post-care instructions for recovery as well as information about follow-up visits.
Combining Neck Liposuction with Facelift Treatments
Liposuction treatments are frequently combined with surgical lifts. As we mentioned earlier, surgical treatments like facelifts or abdominoplasties involve the removal of excess skin. While liposuction can effectively remove fat, it can leave behind sagging skin for some patients. Our plastic surgeons have performed countless surgeries, and with their wealth of experience, they help patients choose the right treatment or treatment plan for their goals. Our goal is to always make sure our patients’ results match their goals and expectations to the best of our ability. For more information, please contact us to schedule a consultation.
