Define your jawline and eliminate unwanted fullness with neck liposuction, a minimally invasive procedure that targets submental fat, double chin, neck heaviness, and poor contour. Performed by David Isaacs, MD, our dual-fellowship trained facial plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, this treatment offers precise sculpting for patients seeking a sharper, more youthful profile.
Achieve a Slimmer,
Youthful Neckline
As we age, the neck is often one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging. Fat accumulation beneath the chin, reduced skin elasticity, and muscle laxity can lead to a poorly defined jawline, the appearance of a “double chin,” or an overall heavier-looking neck. Even individuals at a healthy weight may struggle with stubborn fat deposits in this region, making it difficult to achieve a youthful, contoured profile without surgical intervention.
Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that removes excess fat through small, discreet incisions, typically placed under the chin or behind the ears, to restore clean, sculpted contours in the neck and jawline. Dr. Isaacs often incorporates this technique into his signature Precision Profile Lift™ (PPL™), a comprehensive procedure that addresses not just excess fat but also muscle laxity and deep tissue structure for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Neck Liposuction Treats:
- Excess fat beneath the chin (submental fullness)
- Poorly defined jawline and neckline
- The appearance of a “double chin”
- Mild to moderate neck heaviness
- Fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
Traditional Neck Liposuction vs. PPL™
Traditional Neck Liposuction
Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that removes localized fat deposits beneath the chin and along the neck. Through small, hidden incisions, typically under the chin or behind the ears, a thin cannula is inserted to suction out unwanted fat, sculpting a slimmer and more defined neckline. This technique is most effective in patients with good skin elasticity and minimal muscle laxity, as it does not address sagging skin or deeper structural issues.
Precision Profile Lift™
The Precision Profile Lift™ (PPL™) is a comprehensive neck contouring procedure developed by Dr. Isaacs to address not only excess fat but also muscle laxity and deep tissue fullness. In addition to targeted liposuction, PPL includes anterior platysmaplasty to tighten neck muscles, subplatysmal fat excision, and, when needed, deep tissue adjustment and chin augmentation. This technique is ideal for patients seeking a more sculpted and youthful neck and jawline.
Advantages of the Precision Profile Lift™:
- Combines fat removal, muscle tightening, and deep tissue reshaping
- Addresses both superficial and deep neck fullness
- Enhances jawline definition from all angles
- Uses customized suspension sutures for long-lasting support
- Minimal downtime with faster recovery than traditional surgery
- Ideal for patients aged 25 to 60 seeking a comprehensive transformation
Dr. Isaacs’ Approach to Neck Rejuvenation: PPL™
Neck aging often involves more than just excess fat; it can include deep structural fullness, muscle banding, and loss of jawline definition. To address these changes comprehensively, Dr. Isaacs has developed the Precision Profile Lift™ for patients ages 25 to 60 seeking a sleek, youthful neckline without the need for overly invasive surgery.
The procedure begins with a small, hidden incision beneath the chin, giving Dr. Isaacs precise access to the underlying neck structures. He then performs an anterior platysmaplasty to tighten and reposition the platysma muscle, restoring youthful definition and eliminating neck bands.
If excess fat is present beneath the platysma, it is excised. In some cases, deeper muscle and tissue layers are adjusted to create a firmer, smoother foundation.
Dr. Isaacs also performs strategic liposuction to further refine the neck and jawline. For patients who need additional enhancement, a chin implant can be added to balance facial proportions. Finally, Dr. Isaacs secures the new contours using customized neck suspension sutures. This procedure allows patients to enjoy a well-defined, slender neckline with enhanced jawline contours and a more elegant, streamlined neck profile with tightened, youthful skin.
Complementary Procedures to Enhance the Neck
While neck liposuction can significantly improve contour by removing excess fat, many patients benefit from combining it with additional procedures to address sagging skin, muscle laxity, or overall facial harmony. Dr. Isaacs takes a comprehensive approach to neck rejuvenation, often blending techniques to sculpt a more youthful and balanced appearance.
To maximize your results, Dr. Isaacs may recommend one or more of the following complementary procedures:
- Necklift for tightening loose skin and restoring smoother neck contours
- Chin implant for enhancing jawline projection and facial balance
- Facelift for lifting midface tissues and blending the transition between the jawline and neck
- Blepharoplasty for rejuvenating tired or heavy upper and lower eyelids
- Male necklift for creating sharper, masculine angles while preserving natural structure
