Introduction
Neck liposuction can restore a firm, sculpted neck profile. Some patients experience submental fullness and pockets of fat along the jawline and neck that obscure their natural beauty. Dr. Nikolas Block-Wheeler in San Francisco, California, has extensive expertise in the delicate art of facial rejuvenation and can deliver a natural-looking transformation that boosts your confidence.
Chin and neck liposuction is a minimally invasive yet powerful aesthetic option that uses liposuction to reduce neck fat. During the treatment, small incisions are made beneath the chin and behind the earlobes, allowing Dr. Block-Wheeler to suction out stubborn, unwanted fat using a cannula (a slender tube). The doctor will mechanically break down and eliminate fat cells, creating a more streamlined, youthful-looking jawline.
Dr. Block-Wheeler will provide a detailed consultation and medical assessment to ensure that neck liposuction is the best choice for achieving your cosmetic goals. In general, good candidates for the procedure are healthy, non-smoking individuals who are at or near their ideal weight and have realistic expectations for their results. Liposuction is an excellent add-on to other facial procedures, such as rhinoplasty or brow lift, as it can address stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to dieting or exercise. If you are frustrated by submental fullness or a bulge along the neck and jawline, you may benefit from this transformative facial contouring technique.
When chin and neck liposuction is performed with precision by Dr. Block-Wheeler in San Francisco, patients enjoy the following transformative benefits:
The first step along your journey to a more youthful appearance is an initial consultation with Dr. Block-Wheeler and his team in San Francisco. The doctor will discuss your objectives, answer your questions, and complete a physical and medical evaluation. Keeping your goals in mind, he will begin curating the ideal treatment plan to achieve a slimmer, more sculpted profile. To ensure your expectations are realistic, the doctor will go over the risks, benefits, downtime, costs, and anticipated results of neck liposuction in detail. We will then book your procedure date and provide guidelines on how to best prepare for your appointment.
On the day of your appointment, our friendly team in San Francisco will greet you and place you in one of our comfortable, state-of-the-art treatment suites. We will administer local anesthesia to help keep you comfortable and pain-free throughout your cosmetic procedure. Once you are relaxed and at rest, Dr. Block-Wheeler will make a quarter-inch incision beneath the chin, within the fine folds surrounding the earlobes. He will then use a thin cannula to suction out unwanted fat cells, creating a more sculpted, attractive-looking lower facial profile.
Once all changes have been completed, the doctor will close each incision with a few small sutures and place dressings over the incisions. He will also apply an elastic compression garment to help minimize postoperative swelling. On average, chin and neck liposuction takes around one hour to complete.
After neck liposuction in San Francisco, patients can expect around one week or less of downtime. Dr. Block-Wheeler will prescribe oral pain medication to help alleviate any soreness or tenderness in the targeted regions. While you can take gentle walks right after your procedure, you are advised to avoid strenuous workouts for several weeks. Dr. Block-Wheeler will provide a personalized aftercare plan and will be on hand to answer any questions or concerns that arise as the healing process progresses.
Pricing for chin and neck liposuction in San Francisco and the greater Bay Area can vary depending on the extent of your concerns, the targeted areas, and whether the procedure is performed in tandem with another facial rejuvenation treatment.
