Neck Liposuction reduce excess fat in the neck and below the chin
Excess fat can sometimes occur in the neck and below the chin. Neck liposuction can reduce this excess fat.
How is neck liposuction performed?
After sedation, the area to be treated is numbed with a local anaesthetic. A small liposuction cannula is then inserted through small puncture holes beneath the chin or under the earlobe and the excess fat is suctioned out. The patient then wears a compression neck garment for seven days.
You can return to work or normal activities on the eighth day.
How long does neck liposuction last?
Neck liposuction usually only needs to be performed once and providing you are weight-stable, the fat should not return.
Please note :
Dr Szalay finds that neck liposuction by itself is usually only suitable for patients less than 40 y.o. He advises this because loose tissue can occur after this age. So Dr Szalay feels that a tightening procedure is also likely to be required above the age of 40.
There are some patients who are less than 40 who may also be at risk of loose tissue as their elasticity may not be optimal.
Finally, Dr Szalay advises that neck liposuction can only help people with excess fat. So unfortunately liposuction won’t be helpful if your problem is mainly loose tissue.
How long is the recovery period?
Swelling and bruising can occur following the procedure. So most patients feel comfortable facing the general public again after 7 days.

A fat transfer can provide more definition to your cheeks
As we age, the fat in our face tends to redistribute itself. Generally, we tend to lose it from our cheeks and it usually gathers in the jowls. Fat transfer to the cheeks can provide more fullness to the cheeks
How does it work?
Fat is taken from one part of the body (usually the low back) and transferred to cheeks. Because the fat is from your own body, there is no chance of an allergic reaction.
How is it performed?
After numbing the donor site with local anaesthetic, a small cannula is inserted through a puncture hole in the lateral thigh or buttock and the fat is then suctioned out. The area to be treated is then numbed with local anaesthetic prior to adding the fat – again with a small cannula.
The procedure usually takes about 45 minutes.
How long does a fat transfer last?
After the initial fat transfer, usually about half the fat survives and the rest dissolves. Accordingly, it is necessary to repeat the procedure in two to three months. Usually, the result should then last several years, although occasionally a third treatment may be necessary in the first 12 months.
How long is the recovery period?
Swelling and bruising can occur following the procedure. So most patients feel comfortable facing the general public again after 7 days.
Some swelling can persist a few weeks following the procedure.
