Neck Liposuction
Over time, the neck and under-chin area can accumulate stubborn pockets of fat that resist even the most dedicated diet and exercise efforts. These deposits – most commonly found beneath the chin and along the jawline – can obscure the natural contours of the neck and contribute to the appearance of a double chin or heavier, aged profile. Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that precisely removes excess fat to restore definition and reveal a more sculpted, youthful neckline.
Neck Liposuction:
Contours and defines the neck and jawline by targeting localized fat
Reduces the fullness beneath the chin that can make the face appear rounder or heavier than it actually is
Enhances the natural angle between the chin and neck, creating a more elegant and youthful profile
Improves overall facial proportion and balance by bringing greater definition to the lower face and neck area
Based on variations in how men and women age and on new advances in medical technology, different methods are used to perform this procedure. There are a couple of options for browlifting.
Open or Pretrichial Browlift
The Pretrichial brow lift requires an incision along the top of the forehead and not behind the hairline. Due to the forehead being slightly shortened, the hairline is lowered which is ideal for those with a high forehead. This procedure lifts everything from the hairline down to the eyebrows and can address eyebrow shape and asymmetry. The scar from the incision, once healed, is virtually undetectable. Following the procedure there will be some bruising and swelling.
Temporal or Limited Incision Browlift
A temporal brow lift involves shorter incisions than an open browlift and is most commonly performed in conjunction with eyelid surgery. Incisions about 1 inch long are made just above each temple, behind the hairline. Through these incisions, Dr. Jaggi will lift and reposition the tissues of the outer brow area.
Is Neck Liposuction right for you?
The best candidates for neck liposuction are individuals who are in good general health and have good skin elasticity, with stubborn fat deposits beneath the chin or along the jawline that have not responded to diet and exercise. Neck liposuction is ideal for those who are bothered by the appearance of a double chin or a heavier neckline but do not yet have significant loose or sagging skin.
During your consultation, Dr. Jaggi will evaluate your neck and chin area, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether neck liposuction is the right approach for you — or whether a complementary procedure such as a neck lift may better address your concerns.
The best way to find out if neck liposuction is right for you is to schedule a consultation. We welcome patients from Saskatoon and across Canada who are ready to take the first step toward a more defined, confident profile.
Liposuction Recovery
- Some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated area is normal following the procedure and typically subsides within one to two weeks
- A compression garment will be provided to wear around the neck and chin area to minimise swelling and support the tissues as they heal
- Most patients are able to return to light daily activities within a few days, with the majority feeling comfortable returning to work within one week
- Strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided for approximately two to four weeks, or as directed by Dr. Jaggi
- Some improvement will be visible almost immediately, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling continues to resolve over the following weeks and months
- Dr. Jaggi and the team will provide detailed post-operative instructions and will be available to support you every step of the way throughout your recovery
Preparing for Your Surgery
Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding. Please arrange for a responsible adult to take you and pick you up from your surgery and stay with you for the first 24 hours after surgery.
