Liposuction of the neck is a routine component of facelift surgery. This is done through a small incision under the chin and is performed together with a facelift to contour and shape the neck. However, for those patients who don’t need a full facelift, or those who aren’t ready to take the next step to a facelift, liposuction alone is an alternative that can still help in rendering a more youthful neck. The most important aspect of this procedure is determining if your skin has enough tone to tighten on its own after liposuction. Without adequate tone, you may need additional skin tightening procedures.
