Before and after liposuction of the neck in a 46-year-old woman. She had tried non-surgical methods to try to reduce the amount of submental fat under her chin, but they had not had any effect. She sought liposuction to remove this annoying fat collection and achieve a more defined jawline.
Liposuction was performed awake, under local anesthesia, with an oral anti-anxiety medication and inhaled laughing gas. After surgery, she wore a compressive chin strap as much as she could for two weeks.
Follow up photos are shown 2 years after surgery. The fat removal under her chin has created more definition to her submental region and a more angular appearance to her chin. She is very pleased with her results!
