Is Neck & Chin Liposuction Painful?

Most of our Maryland area patients experience only mild discomfort, described more as tightness or soreness than pain. Medications help manage any discomfort during the first few days, and symptoms improve as healing progresses.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Most patients only need a few appointments for neck and chin liposuction. The process begins with your consultation with Dr. Wachal or Dr. Kleiman, followed by the surgery itself, and then a series of follow-up visits to ensure you are healing well. On average, two to three follow-up appointments are typically all that are needed, although your surgeon may recommend more if additional monitoring is beneficial for your recovery.

How Long Until I See Results?

You will notice changes immediately after surgery, but swelling and bruising will initially obscure your final outcome. Within a few weeks, your profile starts to look slimmer and more defined, with the best results becoming visible around three to six months as everything fully settles.

Can I Combine a Neck & Chin Liposuction With Other Procedures?

Yes, it is common to combine neck and chin liposuction with other treatments. Some of our Maryland area patients choose to pair it with our facelift or neck lift to address loose skin, as well as fat removal. Others may opt for a chin implant for enhanced definition or skin rejuvenation treatments for a smoother texture. During your consultation, Dr. Wachal or Dr. Kleiman will guide you on which options can be safely combined for the best results.

What Are the Risks Associated With a Neck & Chin Liposuction?

Potential risks with neck and chin liposuction may include swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, infection, or minor contour irregularities as the area heals. Some patients may experience fluid buildup, prolonged healing, or changes in skin sensation. By following Dr. Wachal’s or Dr. Kleiman’s aftercare instructions and attending follow-up appointments, you can reduce the likelihood of these complications.

Neck & Chin Liposuction

Introduction to Neck & Chin Liposuction

Genetics, aging, and stubborn fat can result in a softer profile, making the face appear less defined. Even with a healthy lifestyle, fullness under the chin can remain unchanged. Neck and chin liposuction is designed to address this concern by directly removing excess fat and restoring definition.

At Anne Arundel Facial Plastic Surgery in Annapolis and Severna Park, Maryland, Dr. Brandon Wachal and Dr. Lee Kleiman bring advanced training and years of experience to help patients achieve natural, lasting results.

What is Neck & Chin Liposuction?

Our neck and chin liposuction procedure targets the pockets of fat beneath the chin, along the jawline, and into the upper portion of the neck.

Unlike general weight loss, liposuction allows precise sculpting in specific areas. This targeted approach creates a slimmer, more refined profile that looks balanced with the rest of the face.

For our younger patients with good skin elasticity, liposuction alone may achieve the desired result. For those who also experience loose or sagging skin, liposuction can be paired with other procedures, such as a facelift or neck lift, for optimal improvement.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Neck & Chin Liposuction?

Ideal candidates are men and women in good overall health who struggle with fat deposits beneath the chin or along the jawline.

Younger patients with firm, elastic skin tend to achieve the most dramatic improvements, as their skin naturally adapts to the new contours after fat removal. Individuals with sagging or loose skin may require liposuction in combination with skin tightening or lifting procedures to achieve optimal results.

During a personal consultation at Anne Arundel Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Wachal or Dr. Kleiman will evaluate your goals and anatomy to recommend the approach that best suits your needs.

What Are the Benefits of a Neck & Chin Liposuction?

The most immediate benefit is a sharper, more defined jawline. Patients often notice that their face appears slimmer and more youthful once the fullness under the chin is removed.

Neck and chin liposuction also enhances facial balance, allowing features such as the chin and cheekbones to stand out more naturally.

Our clients’ results are long-lasting because fat cells removed during surgery do not return.

What’s the First Step?

Your Neck & Chin Liposuction Journey with Dr. Wachal

The first step is to schedule a consultation at one of our offices in Annapolis or Severna Park. During this appointment, Dr. Wachal or Dr. Kleiman will listen to what your specific concerns are and discuss what you hope to achieve.

A physical evaluation of your neck and jawline will be performed, and your relevant medical history will be reviewed to ensure safety. Imaging or digital previews may also be used to help you visualize your potential results.

What to Expect on the Day of Neck & Chin Liposuction Surgery

Our neck and chin liposuction is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, though general anesthesia may be recommended depending on the extent of your treatment.

Dr. Wachal or Dr. Kleiman will make very small incisions, typically placed under the chin or behind the ears, where they are discreet. A fine cannula is then inserted through these openings to remove excess fat while sculpting the area evenly and gently.

Once the unwanted fat has been removed, the incisions are closed, and a supportive compression garment is applied to aid in healing and contouring.

Your Guide to Post-Neck & Chin Liposuction Care

We tell our clients to expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first week, but these should improve quickly and on their own.

Patients typically wear a compression garment for one to two weeks to help minimize swelling and promote smooth results. Many are able to return to work and light activities within five to seven days. However, strenuous activities or heavy lifting should be avoided for an additional two to three weeks.

How Much Does a Neck & Chin Liposuction Cost in Maryland?

The cost of neck and chin liposuction in Annapolis, Severna Park, and throughout Maryland varies depending on several factors. These factors include the complexity of the case, the type of anesthesia used, and whether additional procedures are performed simultaneously.
