Excess submental fat and loose sagging skin or a ‘double chin’ is a common aesthetic concern among both men and women. Genetics, age, and weight gain are the main factors that cause the chin and jawline to become full and puffy. Neck fat can be really distressing amidst your efforts to maintain a fresh, youthful face. Neck laser liposuction in NYC is an effective option to address these concerns. In established practices, plastic surgeons perform the procedure using the laser-assisted Smartlipo Triplex workstation. Laser liposuction is a great option for men and women seeking to improve the signs of neck aging and restore a more youthful appearance.
Neck laser liposuction is a minimally-invasive procedure that removes excess fatty tissue and skin from the neck area using laser energy. The procedure involves removing unwanted fat, tightening the skin, and reshaping the neck to provide a more defined, youthful, attractive appearance. Neck liposuction can be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as a neck lift and facelift.
With the FDA approved Smartlipo workstation, neck lipolysis can be performed on an outpatient basis. After marking the treatment site and administering local anesthesia, the minimally-invasive cannula of the Smartlipo device will be used to deliver laser energy to target the fat cells through a tiny incision in the skin. The device comes with three separate laser wavelengths (1440, 1064 and 1320 nm) that work to liquefy the fat and tighten skin. Once the fat is liquefied, the surgeon will remove it via gentle suction. By precisely targeting unwanted fat, Smartlipo Triplex laser liposuction leaves the surrounding tissues unaffected. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime, pain, bleeding and swelling.
Most patients return home the same day. Recovery time would vary depending on the amount of fat removed and the overall length of the procedure. According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, patients can return to work within 1 week and to full activity after about 2 weeks.
Your surgeon will give you certain post-operative instructions and following them can make recovery safer and smoother. These recommendations would include taking complete rest on the day following the procedure, wearing an elastic compression collar around the neck and jaw line area for a period of up to 6 weeks following surgery, and so on. You will also be advised to sleep with the head of the bed elevated for one week after the treatment. You should avoid bending, lifting or straining the neck area until complete recovery. Regular massage during the recovery phase may speed up healing. You need to take proper care of the incision areas as infection and scarring can affect results.
The outcome of neck laser liposuction in NYC is long-lasting. But weight gain after the surgery can affect the results. So, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle for long-lasting results.
Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon in NYC who is specialized in using Smartlipo technology is crucial for safe treatment and optimal results. A reliable surgeon will evaluate your concerns and provide personalized treatment to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
