Before and after liposuction of the neck in a 54-year-old woman. As she was embarking on her commitment to a healthy lifestyle, being more active and weight loss, she wanted to improve the appearance of her neck, as this was one area that she could not conceal with clothing and that served as a dissuasion to her motivation.
Liposuction of the neck was performed under local anesthesia, with an oral anti-anxiety medication and inhaled laughing gas. A total of 200 cc (nearly a full cup) of fat was removed through three small incisions hidden under her chin and jawline. After surgery, she took a week off work and worked from home until the bruising had resolved. Following liposuction, the skin will contract and mold to its new form.
Follow up photos are shown 3 years after surgery. She is continuing to get more physically fit and lose weight at a slow and steady pace. Her neck results are impressive – with liposuction alone!
