Submental Liposuction & Neck Lift

Chin liposuction in New York can be combined with a neck lift to tighten loose neck skin and remove pockets of fat for a youthful-looking neck. A well-defined neckline is a coveted attribute, as it can promote a graceful-looking jawline and promote a balanced facial profile. As aging occurs, however, neck skin begins to sag and submental fat may begin to accumulate underneath the chin. These factors contribute to the appearance of a double chin, which can take away from jawline definition and lead to an older, more overweight appearance. Submental liposuction and neck lift surgery can remove fat deposits below the chin, while tightening drooping neck skin. Together, these facial rejuvenation procedures can eliminate double chin and produce natural-looking results for patients.

How Do Submental Liposuction And Neck Lift Work?

Submental liposuction can reduce double chin by combining laser liposuction techniques with traditional lipo approaches. Tiny incisions are made around the submental area in preparation for your liposuction procedure. Next, specialized cannulas are inserted under your skin. Once the cannulas are placed, they begin to deliver laser energy to submental fat cells. Heat from the laser breaks down fat cells over the course of your neck liposuction procedure. These fat cells are then suctioned out of the body to eliminate double chin. Submental liposuction also promotes skin tightening benefits, as the laser’s energy promotes new collagen production underneath the skin to reinforce skin structure.

Neck lift surgery uses a variety of techniques to tighten tissues and reposition neck skin. Small deposits of neck fat can be surgically removed to reduce the appearance of submental fat, while neck tissues can be elevated and repositioned to provide a lifting effect and reduce the appearance of neck bands. Excess skin is then re-draped or removed to ensure a smooth, youthful-looking neckline.
Together, submental liposuction and neck lift surgery can enhance your facial profile. Dr. Levine will discuss which neck lift techniques are ideal for your facial rejuvenation procedure during your consultation at our New York City office.
