All About Neck Liposuction
Request ConsultationIf you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt like your jawline didn’t quite match the youthful energy you feel inside, you’re not alone. For many people, excess fat under the chin or around the neck can create the appearance of a “double chin” or a lack of definition between the chin and neck, even if they’re at a healthy weight. At Gilpin Facial Plastics + Aesthetics in Nashville, neck liposuction is a popular and effective solution to help define the jawline, slim the neck, and restore balance to your facial profile.
What is Neck Liposuction?
Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from the neck and under the chin. It’s a refined approach to contouring that enhances the shape of the lower face by targeting localized fat. Using a small cannula and gentle suction, Dr. Gilpin carefully removes fat to create a smoother, more sculpted neckline. This procedure is often performed on its own, but can also be combined with a lower facelift or skin tightening treatments for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Ideal Candidates for Neck Liposuction
Neck liposuction is best suited for individuals who are generally healthy, close to their ideal weight, and bothered by the appearance of a full or poorly defined neck due to excess fat. Ideal candidates typically have good skin elasticity, which allows the skin to conform well to the neck’s new contours once the fat is removed. Neck liposuction alone cannot significantly improve sagging skin or a turkey neck; if you are bothered by excess skin, neck lift surgery may also be combined with your liposuction treatment. If you’re noticing early signs of aging or feel like your jawline is less distinct than it used to be, but your skin still has some natural firmness, neck liposuction could be a great option for you.

Neck Liposuction Pre-Op Recommendations
Before your neck liposuction procedure, Dr. Gilpin will meet with you for a thorough consultation to evaluate your concerns and create a customized surgical plan. He may recommend avoiding certain medications or supplements that could increase the risk of bleeding. Staying well-hydrated, following a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco use in the weeks leading up to surgery can help promote optimal healing and results. Our team will provide personalized instructions to ensure you feel confident and fully prepared on the day of your procedure.
The Neck Liposuction Procedure
Neck liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your preferences and whether any additional procedures are being done. Dr. Gilpin makes tiny, strategically placed incisions, usually hidden under the chin or behind the ears, through which a small cannula is inserted. The cannula gently breaks up and removes fat deposits, removing excess fat and allowing Dr. Gilpin to sculpt a natural, youthful contour. The procedure usually takes under an hour, and patients return home the same day.

You’ll notice some improvement in neck and jawline definition almost immediately, but your final results will become more visible as swelling subsides over the next few weeks. Most patients feel well enough to return to work or light activities within a few days, though it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise for a couple of weeks. A supportive chin strap or compression garment may be recommended to help reduce swelling and support healing. As swelling resolves and your skin adjusts, you’ll enjoy a more sculpted and refined neck contour that looks natural and complements your overall facial features.
