Are you bothered by stubborn neck fat that won’t budge despite diet and exercise? A double chin or excess fat around the neck can age your appearance and affect your confidence in photos and daily life.
This unwanted fullness under the chin creates an undefined jawline, making you appear heavier than you actually are. No amount of neck exercises or weight loss targets can effectively address this frustrating area.
Neck liposuction at Northwest Face & Body offers a proven solution to remove excess fat and permanently sculpt your ideal neckline. Our board-certified surgeons have performed thousands of successful neck contouring procedures, helping patients in Bellevue and surrounding areas achieve the slim, defined profile they desire.
What Is Neck Liposuction?
Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that permanently removes stubborn fat deposits from the neck area. This targeted fat removal technique focuses on the submental region (under the chin), jawline, and front of the neck to create a more sculpted, youthful appearance.
Neck liposuction is a precise procedure that directly targets and removes fat cells from specific areas of the neck. Unlike general weight loss, which cannot spot-reduce fat, this technique uses small, strategically placed incisions for precise contouring. It is particularly effective for addressing a “turkey neck” fullness and enhancing the definition between the chin and neck.
Our surgeons use advanced liposuction techniques to ensure smooth, natural-looking results while preserving the delicate structures of the neck area. The procedure can significantly enhance facial harmony by creating a distinct separation between the face and neck.
Benefits of Neck Liposuction
- Youthful and Defined Appearance: Achieve a slimmer, more youthful neckline by eliminating excess fullness, effectively turning back the clock on your appearance. This also results in an improved and sharper definition of the jawline and lower face, creating attractive contours.
- Permanent Solution: Say goodbye to “turkey neck” fullness permanently. The fat cells removed during the procedure do not return.
- Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy enduring results, provided a stable weight is maintained.
- Enhanced Confidence: Patients often report a significant boost in confidence, feeling more photogenic and self-assured with their enhanced profile aesthetics.
- Minimal Scarring: Incisions are tiny and strategically placed, healing to be virtually undetectable.
- Quick Recovery: Compared to more invasive procedures, recovery is swift, with most patients returning to their normal activities within a week.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Neck Liposuction?
- Men and women with excess fat around the neck and jawline who want to achieve a more defined profile without extensive surgery. The procedure works equally well for both genders, though fat distribution patterns may differ.
- Patients with good skin elasticity benefit most from neck liposuction. The skin should be able to contract smoothly after fat removal to achieve optimal contouring results.
- Individuals seeking treatment for double chin and neck fat combination cases find this procedure particularly effective. The comprehensive approach addresses multiple areas of concern simultaneously.
- Those with primarily fat-related fullness rather than skin laxity are best suited for liposuction alone. Patients with significant skin sagging may require additional procedures, such as a neck lift, for optimal results.
The Neck Liposuction Procedure
- Small incisions are made discreetly under the chin and behind the ears, hidden within natural creases.
- These entry points, typically 2–4 millimeters in size, allow access for the liposuction cannula.
- A thin cannula is used to suction fat carefully, moving back and forth to break up and remove fat cells.
- The technique ensures even fat removal and smooth contouring of the neck.
- The procedure typically takes about one hour, although the exact time may vary depending on the fat volume and the number of treated areas.
- Local or general anesthesia may be used, with many patients choosing local anesthesia with sedation for comfort.
- Advanced options such as VASER and laser-assisted liposuction are available at Northwest Face & Body.
- These advanced technologies help tighten skin while removing fat for enhanced contouring results.
Recovery & Results
Recovery from neck liposuction is generally straightforward with proper aftercare. Most patients find the recovery process manageable and are pleased with the rapid improvements they experience.
Mild swelling and bruising typically last about one week as the body heals from the procedure. These side effects are normal and resolve naturally with time.
A compression garment provides neck support during the initial healing phase. This specialized garment helps reduce swelling and ensures optimal contouring results.
Most patients return to work within 5-7 days once initial swelling subsides. Light activities can resume even sooner, though strenuous exercise should wait two to three weeks.
Final definition becomes visible after swelling resolves completely, usually within 2-3 months. Patients see gradual improvements throughout the healing process.
Results are permanent as long as the weight remains stable. The fat cells removed during neck liposuction do not regenerate, making this a long-term solution for neck contouring.

Risks & Safety Considerations
While neck liposuction is considered safe when performed by qualified surgeons, patients should be aware of the potential risks. Temporary side effects are common and typically resolve without intervention.
Temporary swelling, bruising, and numbness typically occur in most patients but usually subside during the recovery period. These effects are a regular part of the healing process.
Rare risks include asymmetry or irregular contours, which can usually be corrected if they occur. Choosing an experienced surgeon significantly minimizes these risks.
Safety is ensured through the use of board-certified surgeons performing procedures in our accredited Bellevue facility. Northwest Face & Body maintains the highest safety standards with state-of-the-art equipment and protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is neck liposuction different from chin liposuction?
Neck liposuction encompasses a broader treatment area than chin liposuction alone. While chin liposuction focuses specifically on the submental fat pad directly under the chin, neck liposuction addresses the entire neck region, including the jawline and upper neck area, for comprehensive contouring.
How long does neck liposuction last?
The results from neck liposuction are permanent because the fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate. However, maintaining a stable weight is essential to preserve results, as remaining fat cells can expand with significant weight gain.
Is neck liposuction safe?
When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility, neck liposuction is a safe procedure with minimal risks. Northwest Face & Body maintains strict safety protocols and uses advanced techniques to ensure patient safety throughout the process.
Does neck liposuction fix saggy skin or just fat?
Neck liposuction primarily addresses excess fat rather than loose skin. Patients with good skin elasticity often notice their skin naturally tightening after fat removal. Individuals with significant skin laxity may require a neck lift procedure to achieve optimal results.
Neck liposuction vs. Kybella – which is better?
Both treatments effectively reduce neck fat, but neck liposuction provides more dramatic, immediate results in a single procedure. Kybella requires multiple sessions over several months and is most effective for smaller fat deposits. Neck liposuction offers more comprehensive contouring for patients with moderate to significant neck fat.
