Neck Liposuction
Procedure
Neck or chin liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure related to facial aesthetic treatments.
The goal of this surgical procedure is to remove localized fat in the neck, commonly known as a double chin.
This helps to reshape the facial area and restore harmony with the rest of the body.
Neck or chin liposuction is generally an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia and sedation.
It is minimally invasive, aiming to contour and rejuvenate the neck area without leaving visible scars or marks.
The surgery involves making small incisions and using fine cannulas to extract the accumulated fat.
