Neck Liposuction: A Complete Guide to Neck Lipo

Information About Neck Liposuction Procedures with Dr. Jacono in New York.

Neck Liposuction Top New York City Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Andrew Jacono specializes in face- and neck-lifting procedures.

What Is Neck Liposuction?

Excess fatty deposits in the chin, neck, and cheeks can make certain people appear overweight. These deposits may also cause the neck to hang or the cheeks to droop in undesirable ways.

Thankfully, there are ways to surgically remove these fat pockets. These procedures are gentle and include small, hidden incisions. They also have essentially no downtime. The two most widely performed surgical procedures that correct fatty deposits include neck liposuction and buccal fat removal.

Submental liposuction, otherwise known as neck liposuction, directly removes excess fatty tissue and redefines the chin and neckline. Round cheeks can be reshaped, and cheekbones better defined through buccal fat removal.

How Is Neck Liposuction Performed?

During the procedure, a small tube is inserted under the skin. It then removes fatty tissue with a vacuum. This reduces volume and tightens tissue, creating a more pleasing neck contour.

After fatty tissue has been removed, compression dressings help the skin shrink and redraped to the new neck contour. This leaves the neck looking tighter, smoother, and younger without the need for a more invasive neck lift surgery.

If liposuction is performed on a neck that has no skin elasticity, the skin will hang. Dr. Jacono can determine if you are a strong candidate for liposuction alone.

What Can Be Done About a Fatty Neck?

Many people suffer from fatty neck tissue, otherwise known as a double chin. There is a multitude of ways to fix this problem, including neck liposuction and buccal fat removal.

In cases where the neck area is too fatty to fix through simpler means, Dr. Jacono may perform a neck lift. This procedure is more invasive but provides excellent semi-permanent results.

Is Double Chin Liposuction a Safe Procedure?

Neck and chin liposuction are very safe procedures, and Dr. Jacono prides himself on delivering the most comprehensive results. However, as with any operation, there are a few risks and possible side effects. These include:

  • Asymmetry in the face
  • Bleeding or blood clots
  • Poorly healing incisions
  • Infection
  • Pain or swelling

Prior to surgery, Dr. Jacono performs a complete physical examination on all patients. He also prescribes them vitamin supplementation and homeopathic therapies. Research has shown that surgical results improve when these regimens are part of treatment.

What Is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal fat pad removal is a surgical procedure for those who have rounder cheeks and want a more chiseled facial profile. The vast majority of people lose this roundness in their late 20s, though due to a number of factors like genetics, diet, and overall health, some may never lose this excess fat.

Often, candidates for buccal fat pad extraction claim that they have “chipmunk cheeks.” The size of the fat pads varies from patient to patient and is a relatively simple surgery that provides permanent results.

Am I a Good Candidate for This Procedure?

If you are unhappy with the excess fat under your chin, you may be a good candidate. If you have a round, full face, you may be a strong candidate for buccal fat removal. Patients should also be in good physical health, have realistic expectations, and refrain from smoking before and after surgery.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
