Contact UsWhat Is Neck Liposuction?
Despite its name, a double chin is actually caused by the presence of too much fat in the neck. To address this, Dr. Timothy Katzen will remove the unwanted neck fat using innovative liposuction techniques. This procedure helps to minimize the look of jowls and the appearance of a double chin. Liposuction of the neck creates a more defined throat and jawline, and it produces a smooth look by tightening muscles and manipulating soft tissue. This procedure can alleviate both small lumps and areas of fat, and it can be employed on large and denser areas. This is a great option for individuals who dream of a slimmer neckline. To learn more about neck liposuction and how it can improve your neckline, schedule a consultation with plastic surgeon Dr. Timothy Katzen at his office in Beverly Hills, CA.

Neck Liposuction by Timothy Katzen, MD (Beverly Hills, CA) - My neck gave me major insecurities. I booked a free consultation with Dr. Katzen’s office to see what my options were. I was amazingly surprised when Dr. Katzen said he could take care of my problem by neck liposuction. He showed me some pictures of his patients who underwent the same procedure and I was blown away by the results. What I love about Dr. Katzen is, he didn’t try to sell me more procedures than what I needed. I told him what bothered me and he came up with a plan and solution. My neck looks amazing all thanks to Dr. Katzen.
Love Dr. Katzen! I had Neck Liposuction. - I had gastric bypass surgery November 2015. After weight loss, I went to Dr. Katzen for the works: body lift, thigh lift, arm lift and breast augmentation. The last thing that still bothered me was my neck. I thought I would need a neck lift but Dr. Katzen said he can do liposuction instead. Wow, I cannot believe how great my neck looks. Dr. Katzen is amazing. He completely transformed my entire body. Thank you so much Dr. Katzen!!!!!
Neck liposuction and chemical peel - so happy with how my neck looks - I came to my consultation appointment with Dr. Katzen expecting to have a neck lift but instead, he said he could fix my double chin problem with just neck liposuction. I was thrilled. I asked for the first opening he had on his surgery schedule and the rest was history. I am so happy with how my neck looks. I can't believe Dr. Katzen was able to perform a neck lipo and got the results I got, it's incredible. Since I was going to be under anesthesia, I also asked for a chemical peel, I'm so glad I did.
I Look and Feel So Much Younger! - Many people in my life have complimented my appearance lately after undergoing a tummy tuck and neck lipo. I went down 4 dress sizes after my tummy tuck and it has made such a big difference in how my clothes fit, the type of clothes I can now wear, and how I look and carry myself. As for my neck, everyone tells me I look much more slender in the face and much younger. All in all, I look and feel amazing. I love my transformation so much. Dr. Katzen did a fantastic job with both the tummy tuck and neck liposuction.
Neck Lipo Made Me Look Younger and Slimmer. - I came to Dr. Katzen because my neck was bothering me. I had a fatty neck that never went away even after I lost weight. I thought Dr. Katzen would have said I needed a neck lift but he said neck liposuction would be a great plan for me. On the day of my final post-op visit, when Dr. Katzen did the final reveal and I've healed well, I literally cried. My neck looked so much better than I could have imagined. I look slimmer and younger instantly. Thank you so much, Dr. Katzen!

Who is a Candidate for Neck Liposuction?
Men and women who are interested in eliminating excess fat from beneath their jawline to create a defined and youthful appearance are typically considered good candidates for the procedure. Patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle with a proper diet and exercise regimen are most likely to see long-lasting results. If you also have excess or sagging skin under your jawline, you may be a candidate for neck liposuction, or potentially, a neck lift combined with neck liposuction.
What to expect during Neck Liposuction
For liposuction of the neck, Dr. Katzen uses a cannula to remove the pockets of fat after making a very small incision below the chin. He may employ the "superwet" tumescent technique in which a numbing solution is combined with another substance and injected into the treatment area to help minimize bleeding. The incision is then carefully sutured together with small stitches. Neck liposuction can be performed on its own, but many patients choose to combine it with another procedure, such as skin tightening, for a more comprehensive result.

About UsHow long is recovery After Neck Liposuction?
Neck liposuction is completed as an outpatient procedure with the patient under general anesthesia and does not take a long period of time to perform. You may need to wear compression garments after surgery in order to help control swelling. Recovery times will vary from one patient to another and could be longer if other cosmetic procedures were completed in conjunction. You may be advised to refrain from putting pressure on the treatment area for the first few days while it heals. Due to the small incision site, scarring is usually minimal and easy to conceal. Optimal results can usually be expected within the first few months following the procedure.

Neck Liposuction FAQs
Will I have visible scarring?
Dr. Katzen places incisions for neck liposuction where they can be easily concealed or are less visible. During your consultation, he will show you which incision site will be used for your surgery. These incisions can be made in the natural folds of your skin or just below your jawline where they will be difficult to see. Our team will go over scar care management with you so that any potential resulting scars heal flat and blend with your skin.
Can fat come back after neck liposuction?
The liposuction process removes fat cells from the neck. Once removed, these fat cells cannot regrow. However, if you gain a large amount of weight following a liposuction procedure, your neck can get larger because new cells can form and the remaining ones can expand. This is why we recommend you be at a stable, healthy weight before undergoing the procedure. This will make it easier to maintain your results with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Should I get a neck lift or neck liposuction?
Dr. Katzen will help you understand if you need a neck lift, neck liposuction, or both to achieve your aesthetic goals. In general, a lift helps remove excess skin while neck liposuction reduces fat. In many cases, getting both a lift and liposuction can yield beautiful results for a smooth, even neckline. Talk to our staff about your goals during your consultation so we can create your customized treatment plan.
How much fat can be safely removed during neck liposuction?
The amount of fat removed during neck liposuction is generally limited to ensure safety and to maintain a natural appearance. Surgeons typically remove a moderate amount of fat — just enough to enhance the neck's contour without causing irregularities. The exact amount will vary depending on the individual's anatomy and goals. Our surgical team will assess the appropriate volume during the consultation to ensure that the results are both safe and aesthetically pleasing.
What should I expect in terms of bruising and swelling after neck liposuction?
Bruising and swelling are common after neck liposuction and can last for a few weeks. The extent of bruising and swelling varies among patients but usually peaks within the first 48 to 72 hours post-surgery. It then gradually subsides over the following weeks. Cold compresses and keeping your head elevated can help reduce these symptoms. Most patients find that the majority of swelling and bruising has significantly diminished by the third week, revealing the improved contours of their neck.
Will my skin tighten naturally after neck liposuction, or will I need additional treatments?
The ability of your skin to tighten after neck liposuction depends on several factors, including your age, skin elasticity, and the amount of fat removed. In many cases, the skin contracts naturally after the procedure, especially in younger patients with good skin elasticity. However, for some patients, especially those with more significant skin laxity, additional skin-tightening treatments or procedures may be recommended. Our surgical team will assess your skin's condition and provide guidance on whether additional treatments might be beneficial for optimal results.
