What is Liposuction of Neck?

Neck liposuction, also known as submental liposuction, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from the neck and under the chin. This treatment is often chosen to address issues like a "double chin" or to create a more defined jawline and neck contour.

The procedure involves making small incisions in discreet areas, such as under the chin or behind the ears. A thin tube called a cannula is then used to suction out the unwanted fat. It can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and patient preference.
