Most women desire a beautiful, slender neck. However, factors such as genetic or hormonal disorders or lifestyle changes can cause fat to build up in the area and lead to a double chin. Exercise and diet can help to some extent but often fail to provide the desired results. Fortunately, there’s a more effective and long-lasting solution – neck liposuction. NYC plastic surgeons perform the procedure using Smartlipo technology. This minimally invasive laser liposuction procedure can provide attractive outcomes for the right candidate.
Neck liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure among women. Excess fat and sagging skin can make your neckline appear full, heavy, and poorly defined. A double chin makes young people seem older, and fit people look out of shape. Today, hours of staring down at smartphones and computer screens is taking a toll on the appearance of the neck, resulting in a sagging jaw line and wrinkly neck – the condition called “tech-neck”. So along with factors such as aging and genetics, tech neck is also fuelling the demand for neck liposuction.
Smartlipo neck liposuction performed by an experienced liposuction surgeon in an NYC plastic surgery facility can effectively remove undesirable fat from the neck area, and provide a more defined contour to the neck and jawline. This comprehensive, minimally invasive procedure is designed to:
- Improve the female neck profile
- Restore definition to the face
- Create a softer and more youthful appearance
The FDA-approved Smartlipo Triplex workstation comes with three separate laser wavelengths (1440, 1064 and 1320 nm) that can be combined for effective fat removal and skin tightening. The procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, and requires only a small incision to insert the minimally-invasive cannula. The laser energy liquefies the fat so that it can be easily removed. The procedure also offers superior skin tightening effects. The scars would be less visible as the incisions are hidden under the chin. Some of the advantages of this treatment include precise targeting of fat, minimal pain, bleeding, and swelling, short downtime and quick recovery. Neck liposuction can also be combined with a neck lift or facelift if needed.
A good candidate for the procedure is a person with specific fat pockets below the chin and the neck that are resistant to diet and exercise, and without too much skin laxity. Proper aftercare is crucial to recover smoothly after this procedure. So it’s important to follow your plastic surgeon’s instruction carefully. With laser liposuction, the recovery period is much shorter than for conventional treatment. Most patients return to work and their normal routine within 24 hours.
Smartlipo laser lipolysis is a great alternative to conventional liposuction surgery and other double chin treatments. A skilled NYC liposuction surgeon can perform the procedure to provide a natural, slender and sleek shape to the neck.
