Before and after liposuction of the neck, chin and jowls in a 49 year old woman. She had gotten fit and healthy at CrossFit but she needs a boost for her face! For her upcoming 50th birthday, she gave a present to herself: liposuction of the neck to permanently remove this stubborn fat that persisted despite her accomplishments at the gym.
An in-office procedure was performed under local anesthesia. Two small incisions were made under her jawline to inject local anesthesia, followed by tumescent (wetting) solution. Approximately a cup of pure fat was permanently removed by suctioning from her neck.
She worked from home for the next week and wore a compressive chin strap at home for 2 weeks after surgery. She took 10 days off exercise to allow the swelling to go down as quickly and smoothly as possible. She experienced temporary numbness of the area and took pain pills for the first night only, switching to plain Tylenol after that.
Follow up photos are shown at 4 months after liposuction. Her jawline looks fantastic and her results are completely natural. While most of her friends and work colleagues can’t put their finger on why she looks so good, she credits her hard work and turning 50 for being so fabulous!
