Patients who have good skin elasticity but excessive fat in the neck are often good candidates for liposuction. Once the fat is removed, the neck appears tighter and younger looking.
Neck Liposuction Surgery
The procedure works by making a three- to four-millimeter incision under the chin and behind each earlobe.
The area to be sculpted is then infiltrated with our “super wet” solution.
VASER ultrasonic liposelection is then performed in about 30 minutes time, usually with light intravenous sedation.
Liposelection is a better alternative than traditional liposuction because it allows for a smaller area to be precisely targeted. The end result is often better than traditional liposuction. Plastic surgeons like Dr. Parker have to be specially trained to use this advanced technology. By using liposelection by VASER, patients can achieve the look they want, with a minimally invasive surgery.
Our Experienced surgeon
Dr. Paul M. Parker
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Paul M. Parker combines an unwavering dedication to patient satisfaction with surgical expertise to create aesthetically pleasing, natural-looking results.
The recovery from neck liposuction is virtually painless. Swelling and discoloration usually subside within seven to 10 days, and the few sutures required will dissolve on their own. You can generally return to normal activities within three to four days, and can resume exercise in 10 to 14 days.
Before & After: Neck Liposuction
Neck Lift Surgery: Cervicoplasty
Patients who have extra fat in the neck area and loose or excessive neck skin will require more than liposuction to get the look they desire. The procedure that needs to be done in these cases is called a cervicoplasty, platysmaplasty, neck lift, or lower facelift.
Neck Lift Surgery
Cervicoplasty can be performed as a stand-alone procedure or in conjunction with a facelift
Intravenous sedation or general anesthesia is employed
A cervicoplasty involves limited incisions beneath the chin and behind the ears to remove loose skin and fat
During the procedure Dr. Parker will also tighten the underlying platysma muscle to ensure the area will remain firm and smooth
The time for surgery ranges from 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on the extent of skin laxity
The results* of this surgery can be stunning. The change not only enhances the facial profile but also creates a more youthful appearance. It is a great solution for those with excess skin, droopy skin or those who want a tighter, firmer look.
Neck Lift Recovery
Depending on the extent of your procedure (i.e., whether or not you also had a full facelift), you may be able to go home after surgery or you may need monitoring overnight either in our aftercare facility or at home with a private duty nurse. Stitches are removed within one week of surgery. There is a feeling of “tightness” under the neck initially, but that will subside during the healing process. Swelling and discoloration subside within 10 to 14 days and you may return to all normal activities after two weeks.
Before & After: Neck Lift
Combining Procedures for Enhanced Results*
When it comes to our facial appearance, our features work together to create balance and proportion. Combining procedures can often achieve an attractive balance more effectively than one procedure alone. Neck contouring is frequently combined with a facelift, rhinoplasty, or chin augmentation.

Your Neck Contouring Consultation & Imaging Session
Consultations at the Parker Center are special. Dr. Parker will spend extra time with you, ensuring that he understands your goals and that you are fully educated about each potential solution.

One to two weeks before your scheduled neck contouring procedure, you will undergo a one-hour, in-office, face-to-face education session with one of Dr. Parker’s Nurse Educators. During this session, the nurse educator thoroughly reviews a detailed information packet to further educate you about your procedure. This includes a discussion of what to do to prepare for surgery, what occurs on the day of surgery, and what to expect after surgery during your recovery. It’s a detailed session that really educates our patients about the entire surgical process at the Parker Center. Patients tell us they love it because they feel so well-prepared for their surgery. Learn more about what to expect during your pre-op education session.
