Refine Your Jawline and Neck Contour
Submental liposuction, commonly known as neck liposuction, is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat beneath the chin and along the upper neck to create a more defined jawline and smoother neck contour.
For many patients, stubborn fat beneath the chin does not improve with diet or exercise. Submental liposuction can enhance facial definition and improve overall facial balance.
At Dr. Kristopher Ledding’s practice, treatment is tailored to each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals to achieve refined, natural-looking results.
Who May Benefit?
You may be a candidate if you:
- Have excess fat beneath the chin (“double chin”)
- Desire improved jawline definition
- Have good skin elasticity
- Maintain a stable body weight
- Are in good overall health
If excess loose skin is present, Dr. Ledding may recommend combining neck liposuction with another facial procedure to achieve the best outcome.
The Procedure
Small, discreet incisions are made beneath the chin and, in some cases, behind the ears. A thin cannula is used to gently remove excess fat and sculpt the neck and jawline.
The procedure is designed to create a smoother transition between the face and neck while preserving a natural appearance.
Recovery
Following surgery, patients can expect:
- Mild swelling and bruising
- Temporary numbness or tenderness
- A compression garment worn as directed to support healing
Most patients return to light activities within several days, with swelling continuing to improve over the following weeks.
Results
Results become more noticeable as swelling resolves, with final contours continuing to improve over several months. Maintaining a stable weight can help preserve your long-term results.
