Getting rid of neck fat

No non-surgical procedures work other than weight loss. The 3 surgeries one can have are liposuction, neck lifts, and facelifts. At 22, I would hope you still have good enough skin elasticity that liposuction alone would work for you.

Treatment Of Fat Neck?

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, it is not possible to give you good advice without direct examination. Generally, a good candidate for liposuction of the neck and chin area will be a relatively young patient with isolated “excess” adipose tissue with limited redundant/loose skin. The quality of overlying skin elasticity is of utmost importance. In my practice, the majority of patients I see who request the procedure are not good candidates... more

Treating neck fat

Liposuction is the most definitive treatment for removing fat from the neck. It can be done with or without laser. In a young person the skin usually has very good elasticity so has good recoil and snaps back after liposuction. If there is too much skin then you may also need a neck lift after the liposuction.

Fluctuating weight and liposuction

The first recommendation I have is to get to a point in where your weight is fairly stable. This is best done by lifestyle modifications. Once you have a stable weight you may be a candidate for chin liposuction. Visit a couple of plastic surgeons at that point to determine if you a suitable candidate. Good luck Dr. ES

Liposuction to the chin is a great option for stubborn fat

Throughout our bodies, we all have areas of fat that are difficult to lose. If this describes the fat underneath your chin and you have good quality skin, you would be a great candidate for liposuction in this area. Your best bet is to be evaluated by a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a great deal of experience with liposuction, chin surgery, and neck lifts. They will be able to determine if your skin has enough elasticity to contract after the surgery. Be sure to follow their... more

Neck fat removal

If the neck fat does not thin out with weight loss, you may be better off having liposuction to improve the area. It is a fairly benign procedure with limited downtime.

Chin liposuction and neck lift

The chin and neck can be dramatically improved using liposuction to restore a more defined neckline, jawline, and chin contour. I use liposuction with ultrasound to restore this neck contour and tighten the skin in the postoperative period.

Laser Liposuction removes neck fat and tightens skin

Liposuction is the answer. All liposuction techniques work. However, in my experience SlimLipo laser liposuction not only removes fat but also tightens the neck skin. Laser liposuction is new so it will be hard to find an experienced doctor at this point. For many safety reasons, I prefer the Slim Lipo laser lipo device above all others. See before and after photos of neck laser lipo and chin implant.

Liposuction is the definitive solution

The distribution of fat on our bodies is something we acquire through genetics so you can thank mom or dad (or grandma or grandpa) for your neck. A young person like you (age 22) with an accumulation of neck fat gets great results with neck liposuction. Your young skin has lots of elasticity and the skin will retract nicely after removing the fat. The surgery is done in the office operating room with local anesthesia and takes about an hour, start to finish. My patients wear a chin strap... more

How to treat unwanted neck fat in your early twenties.

Have you ever been happy with the appearance of your neck, or is it bothering you with weight gain? Without seeing your photo, it's tough to answer your question. Sometimes your neck fat appears more prominent than your peers because you have a weak chin. So in some people, Chin Implant surgery along with neck Liposuction makes a wonderful change. Sometimes neck liposuction alone works well. Of course, if you like how your neck looks when you're at your normal body weight, that's the... more

Solutions for neck fat

Neck fat can either be removed via liposuction or through a necklift. Most 22 year olds with neck fat have good enough skin elasticity to have liposuction alone and achieve an excellent result.

Neck lipo can be a good option

Dear Collegegirl There is absolutely no substitute for a personal consultation. You are very young for any cosmetic procedures. Any ethical surgeon needs to proceed from a place of doing no harm. Lower face liposuction can be a very good option. However, it may or may not be your best option. Your face need to be assessed to understand exactly what you mean when you say your face is too fat. Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. I strongly recommend that you don't decide on your own that you... more

There is a solution for neck fat

Liposuction under the chin - submental liposuction - can produce dramatic results. So long as the skin is not too loose - which is possibly but uncommon for someone of your age - the results are dramatic. You can check out my photographs at the site shown below.

Getting rid of a fat neck

Dear CollegeGirl, As long as you have not had really large fluctuations in weight (which can damage your skin elasticity), most likely you would benefit from liposuction of the neck. Neck liposuction is a wonderful procedure in the appropriate candidates (good skin quality), and at your age, I'd bet that you are a candidate. The neck tends to contour well with liposuction (as opposed to the face), and it is a very easy procedure. Look into it some more, and visit with a board certified... more
