Aging, genetics and weight gain can negatively affect the appearance of the neck, causing the chin and jaw line to become full and puffy. Excess submental fat and loose sagging skin or a ‘double chin’ is a common aesthetic concern among both men and women. Exercise and diet can help to some extent, but often fail to provide the desired results. Neck liposuction in NYC using the minimally-invasive FDA-approved Smartlipo Triplex laser-assisted device is an effective option to address this problem. The procedure removes excess fatty tissue and skin from the neck area and restores a more youthful appearance.
Neck liposuction effectively enhances the neck and jawline by addressing various aesthetic concerns. It removes fat under the chin that creates a double chin, resulting in a slimmer and more defined profile. By reducing excess fat around the jawline, the procedure sharpens the transition between the neck and face, improving facial symmetry and structure. Additionally, it tightens loose skin, restoring a youthful contour and giving the neck a smoother, more rejuvenated appearance. The improved definition and balance achieved through neck liposuction can also boost self-confidence, allowing individuals to feel more assured in their appearance.
Smartlipo Neck Liposuction – Procedure and Recovery
The plastic surgeon begins the procedure by marking the treatment site and administering local anesthesia. Laser energy is delivered via the minimally-invasive cannula of the Smartlipo laser liposuction device to target the fat cells through a tiny incision in the skin. The device comes with three separate laser wavelengths (1440, 1064 and 1320 nm) that work to liquefy the fat so that it can be suctioned out gently. The treatment offers superior skin tightening effects and scarring is minimal. The unique intelligent delivery systems of the Smartlipo system help the surgeon to monitor skin temperature and regulate the flow of energy, minimizing the risk of overtreatment. By precisely targeting unwanted fat, this laser workstation leaves the surrounding tissues unaffected.
Most patients return home the same day and get back to work within a week and to full activity after about two weeks. However, recovery time would vary depending on the amount of fat removed and the overall time taken to perform the procedure.
Plastic surgeons provide patients with pre– and post-op instructions to make the procedure and recovery safer and smoother. Following post-op instructions correctly is crucial to reduce the chances of infection and possible scarring which in turn affect the results. Patients are generally advised to take complete bed rest on the day after surgery. Wearing an elastic compression collar around the neck and jaw line area for a period of up to 6 weeks following surgery is recommended. Patients will be advised to sleep with the head of the bed elevated for one week after the treatment. They should avoid bending, lifting or straining the neck area until recovery is complete.
Though the outcomes of neck liposuction are long-lasting, weight gain after the treatment can affect the results. Therefore, following a healthy lifestyle is important for maintaining long-lasting results.
