Are You a Candidate for Jawline and Neck Lipo?

Excess fat in the jawline and neck can obscure your natural features, creating the appearance of a double chin or a sagging neck. These areas often resist diet and exercise, making it challenging to shed fat lingering at the neck and jawline. Jawline and Neck Liposuction is a highly effective procedure that removes localized fat deposits, enhancing your facial profile and restoring a more youthful, refined appearance. At FACES+, Dr. Steven R. Cohen, a world-renowned plastic surgeon, offers this transformative procedure with precision and artistry.

What Can Jawline and Neck Liposuction Treat?

  • Double Chin: Removes excess fat under the chin and resolves the appearance of a double chin, creating a more defined profile.
  • Fatty Neck: Reduces fat deposits in the neck area, reducing folds and enhancing neck contour.
  • Jowls: Targets fat accumulation along the jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls and enhancing jawline definition.
  • Poorly Defined Jawline: Sculpts the jawline for a more chiseled and refined facial structure.
  • Weight Fluctuations: Corrects stubborn fat deposits that persist after weight loss, providing a more consistent and toned appearance.
  • Age-Related Changes: Addresses the fat accumulation in the lower face and neck, restoring a youthful contour.

Benefits of Jawline and Neck Liposuction

  • Enhanced Definition: Liposuction sculpts the jawline and neck, providing a more elegant, defined appearance.
  • Natural-Looking Results: Dr. Cohen’s meticulous technique ensures that the results are subtle and work to enhance the beauty of your natural features.
  • Quick Procedure with Minimal Downtime: The procedure typically takes about one hour and is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing for a faster recovery.
  • Long-Lasting Effects: Once the fat cells are removed, they do not return, offering a long-term improvement in the treated areas as long as you maintain a healthy weight.

What is the Procedure Like?

Dr. Cohen begins the liposuction procedure by making small, discreet incisions in the natural creases around the ears or beneath the chin. He inserts a thin cannula through these incisions to gently suction away excess fat cells, sculpting the neck and jawline to create a smoother and more refined contour. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring a comfortable experience for the patient. Dr. Cohen’s expertise in facial anatomy allows him to achieve precise, natural-looking results that enhance the overall harmony of the face.

Rest and Recover

You will need to take the time to rest and recover. Follow the rules set by Dr. Cohen, which include:

Compression Garment

  • Wearing Time: Patients are usually advised to wear a compression garment continuously (day and night) for the first 1 to 2 weeks following the procedure.
  • Duration: The garment may be worn only at night for 2 to 4 weeks after the initial period, depending on your unique healing rate.
  • Purpose: The compression garment helps to reduce swelling, prevent fluid accumulation, and support the new contours of the neck and jawline as they heal.

Final Results:

  • Timeline: The final jawline and neck liposuction results may take several weeks to appear as all residual swelling disappears.

Activity Restrictions

  • Rest: Patients should rest and avoid strenuous activities for at least the first week.
  • Gradual Return to Normal Activities: Light activities can typically be resumed within a few days, but more strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least 3 to 4 weeks.

Swelling and Bruising

  • Managing Swelling: Mild to moderate swelling and bruising are common and can be managed with cold compresses and by keeping the head elevated.
  • Duration: Swelling usually subsides after the first week, with more significant improvements over the next few weeks.

Follow-Up Appointments

  • Monitoring: Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Cohen are essential to monitor healing, adjust the compression garment as needed, and ensure your vision for your facial look is achieved.
