Can Liposuction Eliminate Saggy Neck Skin?

Many people develop loose neck skin and extra fat under the chin over time, resulting in the cosmetic concern known as the double chin. Diet and exercise don’t help much to address these issues. Fortunately, neck liposuction for women in Manhattan, NYC, can effectively treat loose skin, wrinkles and excess fat, and result in a more well-defined jawline and neck. It can provide you with a smoother and more youthful-looking neckline and enhance your facial appearance.

Fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin in the neck are typical signs of aging that occur when the skin loses its elasticity due to decline in collagen production and breakdown of existing collagen and elastin fibers. Other factors such as genetics, smoking, weight fluctuations and excessive exposure to sun can also contribute to saggy skin in the neck. Weight gain can cause excess fat to build up in the area.

 How Neck Liposuction Works

Neck liposuction is an effective way to get rid of stubborn fat in the jawline and neck. However, many people are unsure if neck liposuction will tighten the skin on the neck. While conventional liposuction surgery can remove unwanted fat, it can leave behind some excess sagging skin. Neck liposuction in Manhattan, on the other hand, is an advanced laser-assisted procedure that can eliminate both unwanted fat and loose skin. Performed using the Smartlipo Triplex workstation, this minimally-invasive procedure is an ideal option to remove small deposits of fat, tighten the skin, and sculpt the neck.

The procedure involves using three different laser wavelengths (1440, 1064, and 1320) to melt the fat for easy removal, coagulate the tissues and tighten the skin. As it involves only small incisions, there are almost no scarring or long-term side effects. The Smartlipo system also includes a single integrated temperature and motion-sensing hand piece and intelligent delivery technologies (SmartSense, ThermaView, and ThermaGuide) that help the surgeon achieve specific clinical targets while avoiding over-treatment. The procedure needs only local anesthesia.

Although it is a minimally invasive procedure, it is still vital to follow the surgeon’s instructions for smooth recovery and optimal results. You should also avoid putting strain on your neck and chin and sleep with your head elevated for a few days.  Outcomes are instantly visible and improve over time.

 Who is a Good Candidate?

Anybody between the ages of 30 and 60 can undergo this treatment, though a personal evaluation will be required by the plastic surgeon to determine if you are a good candidate. This procedure can help you if you and want to improve your appearance by getting rid of extra fat and sagging skin in the chin and neck area.  It’s important to be in good health and have realistic expectations.
