Fat in the neck can detract from the appearance of the entire body, making a younger person seem older or a fit person appear out of shape. Neck Liposuction can reveal a streamlined neck contour, enhance facial features, and improve the profile. It is important to note that this is not an obesity treatment. If you are looking for neck liposuction in Washington, D.C., contact award-winning plastic surgeon Dr. Vinod Chopra at Chopra Cosmetic Surgery located in Fairfax, VA.

What is Neck Liposuction?
Neck liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure that removes excess fat from the neck area using liposuction. This treatment is highly sought after to reduce the appearance of sagging jowls, neck bands, and a double chin. Given that the neck is a sensitive location with a lower volume of possible fat deposits, neck liposuction is a faster process with a lower recovery time than major liposuction processes. Patients need to be upfront with Dr. Chopra during their initial consultation, as many factors can affect the results of liposuction, including their genetic makeup, diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol intake, and skin elasticity.
