Define Your Jawline and Neck in Burlington
Neck Liposuction
Neck liposuction, sometimes called submental liposuction or chin liposuction, removes stubborn fat beneath the chin and along the neck to create a sharper, more defined jawline and profile. It is ideal for healthy patients with localized neck fullness and good skin elasticity who want a more sculpted neckline.

How It Works
Neck liposuction removes excess fat under the chin and along the neck through tiny, discreet incisions using a narrow cannula and gentle suction. It is often performed under local anesthesia with sedation and works best for patients with good skin quality. The procedure is quick, frequently completed in about an hour, with most patients going home the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is neck liposuction right for me?
Ideal candidates are healthy adults with localized neck fat and good skin elasticity. Patients with significant loose neck skin may benefit from additional procedures, which we discuss during your consultation.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the fat cells removed during neck liposuction do not return, so results are long lasting when you maintain a stable weight. Significant weight gain can still affect the area over time.
How soon can I return to work?
Most patients return to work within a few days to a week, depending on their job and how they are healing.
"All surgical procedures carry inherent risks, including but not limited to: infection, bleeding, adverse reaction to anesthesia, scarring, asymmetry, changes in sensation, and the possibility of revision surgery.
