Answer: Liposuction of the Neck Liposuction is a standard addition to a facelift to treat excess fat in the neck. In some cases, direct excision of fat is also performed especially when additional fat is located below the platysma muscle.

Answer: Lipo of neck with facelift? If you have excess fat in your neck, lipo of the nect may be necessary in order to achieve optimal contours. This is a decision for the surgeon to make. Liposuction of the neck actually facilitates the elevation of the neck skin for the facelift, so it can be a plus from that standpoint as well. When I perform a facelift that does not need liposuction, I find it helpful to undermine, or elevate the skin using a liposuction cannula especially designed for the neck - I just don't connect the suction. It makes for a nice, easy, bloodless elevation of the neck skin later on in the procedure.a
