NECK LIPOSUCTION SURGERY
This procedure improves the neck contours by using a liposuction technique. The fat is aspirated, and the neck is sculpted to the degree that is allowed by your neck anatomy. The procedure can be done under local anesthesia, and the downtime is minimal. We do recommend using a support garment (“jaw bra”) for a few weeks after surgery. There is a high degree of satisfaction, and the changes can range from mild-moderate to very significant, depending on each individual’s underlying anatomy. Why is this? Because of the complexity of the neck anatomy. With submental liposuction, we can only remove fat outside a superficial neck muscle called the platysma. Nevertheless, some people also have fat deep in the platysma muscle. It is impossible before surgery (not even by a good physical exam) to determine how much of the fat is superficial or deep to these muscles. Despite this, neck liposuction can be an excellent treatment to improve the neck contours due to the simplicity, quick recovery time, less expense, and ability to do it with only local anesthesia in the office.
Neck lift alternative?
On the other hand, if you want the ultimate neck contouring surgery, please look at neck lifts for young patients (hyperlink ACA). A full neck lift procedure is much more powerful but more expensive, with some more intrinsic risks and a slightly longer recovery. A personal consultation will determine what is best for you.

What is a key aspect individuals should understand about setting realistic expectations for liposuction results? Something very important to know.
A critically important concept to know is that the result of any liposuction relies on having skin with good elasticity. If the elasticity is good, the skin is going to contract, redrape, and take the shape of a new sculpted area in a very smooth and natural way. On the other hand, if the elasticity of not good, the fat will be mostly gone, and the skin may hang loose and form folds.
How does Dr. Rivera compare the effectiveness of Kybella, Coolsculpting, and other non-surgical treatments for fat reduction?
A note from Dr. Rivera-Serrano on Submental liposuction vs. Kybella, Coolsculpting, or other medical treatments. In my opinion, and in general, submental liposuction is far superior. Why? Because liposuction typically only takes one session, has low complications, can be done under local anesthesia, and has much quicker results. In contrast, all the other so-called less invasive treatments require multiple visits, and the results are less reliable. If you add up the multiple sessions required, they end up being more expensive than surgery. Moreover, there are some devices associated with the paradoxical growth of fat (this means that instead of the fat being vanished, it increases). In my experience, results with Kybella show that most patients require about four treatments, the injections are painful to most people, and there could be significant swelling for several days after treatment. Please read my statement on general non-surgical aesthetic practices (hyperlink ACA).
