At Appleby Plastic Surgery, neck liposuction is performed with careful attention to contour, proportion, and skin quality. We tailor your treatment to help you achieve a defined jawline, with minimal downtime.
Neck liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes stubborn fat from beneath the chin and along the jawline. It’s a targeted way to refine the lower face, reduce the appearance of a double chin, and restore balance to your profile.

Combination with Liposuction
A compression garment will be worn post-surgery to support healing.
Compression garment
In some patients, particularly men or people with fuller necks, we remove deeper fat located beneath the platysma muscle. This is a more complex procedure and may require a small incision under the chin to access the deeper layer safely.
Subplatysmal (deep) fat
Ideal for people with good skin elasticity, this is precision removal of subcutaneous fat along the jaw and under the chin for a defined mandibular border (jawline).
Jawline contouring
The most common target in standard neck liposuction, this procedure targets submental (under-chin) and upper neck fat just beneath the skin.
Subcutaneous (superficial) fat removal
how it
works—
Techniques we offer include:
Using a narrow cannula and suction system, we remove excess fat from the area under the chin (submental region), and sometimes along the jawline or neck. This is done through a small, hidden incision—typically under the chin or behind the ears. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation and takes under an hour.
Your surgeon and nurse will walk you through your personalized recovery plan.

Yes. Patients combine Neck Liposuction with Blephroplasty, Brow Lift, and other procedures.
Can I combine this with other procedures?
Most patients describe it as mild discomfort or stiffness for a few days. We provide full guidance for pain management and a smooth recovery.
How painful is recovery?
The incision is small and typically placed under the chin or behind the ear. It fades significantly over time.
Will there be a scar?
Liposuction doesn’t tighten skin, but we may use different techniques if you have significant skin laxity.
