Achieve a more sculpted and defined facial profile with neck and jawline liposuction, expertly performed by Sahar Nadimi, MD. Chicago neck liposuction targets excess fat beneath the chin and jawline, addressing concerns like double chin or sagging contours to enhance your natural beauty with refined, harmonious results.
Remove excess fat and improve facial contours
Neck and jawline liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure to remove excess fat deposits in the lower face, under the chin, and along the jawline. By sculpting these areas, it improves definition and enhances facial harmony. The procedure is ideal for patients struggling with a double chin, jowls, or lack of contour due to stubborn fat. This treatment involves precise fat removal using a thin cannula via small incisions, leaving minimal scarring and offering a quicker recovery than more extensive surgical options.
Neck and jawline liposuction treats:
- Excess fat under the chin (double chin)
- Poorly defined jawline
- Fat deposits along the neck
- Jowls or sagging contours
- Stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise
- Imbalanced facial proportions caused by localized fat accumulation
How neck and jawline liposuction work
Neck liposuction in Chicago is a targeted procedure performed by Dr. Nadimi to refine facial contours by removing localized fat deposits. The procedure begins with the administration of tumescent anesthesia, which numbs the area, minimizes bleeding, and helps separate fat from surrounding tissues. Dr. Nadimi makes small incisions, typically less than 1 cm, strategically placed beneath the chin or behind the earlobes for optimal access and minimal visibility.
Through these incisions, a thin, hollow tube called a cannula is inserted. Using a controlled back-and-forth motion, Dr. Nadimi suctions out excess fat while sculpting the treatment area to achieve balance and symmetry.
Benefits of neck & jawline liposuction:

- Defines and sculpts the jawline and neck contours
- Minimally invasive with small, discreet incisions
- Quick recovery time compared to more extensive surgeries
- Can be performed under local anesthesia
- Stimulates mild skin retraction for improved tone
- Improves overall facial harmony and balance
- Long-lasting results with proper maintenance
neck and jawline liposuction FAQs
What is the Recovery Time for Neck and Jawline Liposuction?
Most patients can return to their regular activities within a week after neck and jawline liposuction. During the first few days, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or soreness, but these symptoms typically improve quickly. Dr. Nadimi recommends wearing a compression garment for 1-2 weeks to minimize swelling and support healing. After two weeks, you can resume light exercise, while more strenuous activities may require up to four weeks of recovery.
Will There Be Visible Scars After the Procedure?
Chicago neck liposuction involves tiny incisions, typically less than 1 cm, placed in discreet locations such as beneath the chin or behind the ears. These small entry points heal well and are usually barely noticeable after recovery. Dr. Nadimi’s meticulous technique ensures minimal scarring, and she may recommend scar care treatments to further enhance healing.
Is Neck and Jawline Liposuction Suitable for Me?
Neck and jawline liposuction is an excellent option if you are in good overall health and have localized fat deposits under the chin, along the jawline, or in the neck that resist diet and exercise. Ideal candidates have good skin elasticity, as this allows the skin to retract and conform to the new contours after fat removal. If you have significant skin laxity or muscle banding, Dr. Nadimi may suggest combining liposuction with a neck lift.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
Neck fat removal in Chicago typically takes 1 hour, depending on the extent of fat removal and the specific areas being treated. Since neck and jawline liposuction is a highly precise treatment, Dr. Nadimi takes the necessary time to ensure optimal contouring and symmetry. As it’s an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia, you can go home the same day.
When Will I See the Final Results?
You’ll notice an improvement in your contours immediately after the procedure, but some swelling will obscure the final results. Swelling gradually subsides over several weeks, with the majority resolving within 1-2 months. Final results are typically visible by 3-6 months.
Are the Results of Neck and Jawline Liposuction Permanent?
The results of neck and jawline liposuction are long-lasting, as the fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate. However, to preserve your results, it is essential to maintain a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise. Significant weight fluctuations can affect surrounding fat deposits and alter the contours achieved by the procedure
