5 Steps To A Smoother Neck
January 29, 2020
With the neck being one of the most commonly forgotten areas treated during one’s skincare routine, we tend to overlook the fact that it deserves just as much attention as the skin on your face!
Neck and lower chin fullness are often the feature that most strongly indicates our overall health and body weight, yet this can seem like one of the hardest areas to lose weight in. Here at Dr. Kay’s we are determined to help you look and feel your best, and neck liposuction is the perfect procedure to remove that pesky neck fullness and help you achieve that youthful, healthy look and restore your confidence! By making the chin and the neck two distinct features, we can shift the overall perspective of the body from overweight to young and athletic. Neck lipo is consistent and effective at creating a fit, healthy looking neck and restoring the healthy appearance of the submental area, so go to someone you can trust and come into Dr. Kay’s!
Dr. Kay’s many years of ENT and surgical experience have aptly prepared her to perform this procedure, as she is an expert on the anatomy of the neck and lower face. Please be aware that this is an advanced procedure, as the neck contains important blood vessels, so please do not see an inexperienced injector for this. Come see Dr. Kay instead! Her patient satisfaction and beautiful results are reflected in her high reviews and real patient outcomes, illustrating why she is one of the top choices for neck liposuction in the Los Angeles area.Â
Liposuction surgery involves anesthesia of the submental (neck) area. The fat is loosened using controlled back and forth motions with a needle, then the fat is removed through a vacuum.
The dramatic reduction in neck fat and fullness that results from this procedure is what makes it so appealing. The surgery itself lasts about 30 minutes and produces instantaneous results with about 3 days of downtime. When performed by an experienced and certified surgeon, this is a safe procedure with minimal risk of serious complications.
Neck liposuction is a quick and painless procedure, as anesthesia is used to eliminate pain. However, you will experience soreness during the recovery. A small incision is made, and a needle is used to break up the excess fat, before suctioning it out. Before beginning the injection, you will have photos taken in order to help you track your results and identify areas of concern.
Generally, if you are a healthy non-smoker with a Body Mass Index of 30 or less, you are a fit candidate. Good candidates should also have good skin elasticity, as the skin must be able to snap back once excess fat is removed. Patients with low skin elasticity will display skin laxity, or sagging after liposuction.
Neck Lipo is a safe procedure with minimal risk of complications when administered by an experienced and qualified plastic or dermatological surgeon. However, due to the extensive vasculature of this area, complications are possible and finding an experienced injector is key. Dr. Kay’s many years of surgery and ENT experience have aptly prepared her to perform this procedure, as her outstanding understanding of the anatomy of the neck will give you confidence in achieving beautiful, safe results.
Generally, patients won’t have to take more than 3 days off after liposuction surgery. Immediate results will be hidden by swelling, however you can expect final results after 2 weeks when the swelling has diminished. As long as you preserve your post-lipo weight, the duration of these results should last for years. However, it is important to understand that these results can decline if you gain weight.Â
