What is Neck Contouring?
Neck contouring is a collection of procedures aimed at enhancing the neck’s appearance by refining its shape and definition. These treatments can address a variety of concerns, including:
- A poorly defined jawline or chin.
- Excess fat under the chin (double chin).
- Loose, sagging skin on the neck (commonly referred to as a “turkey neck”).
- Visible neck bands caused by aging or muscle laxity.
Types of Procedures
Non Surgical Options: Kybella (deoxycholic acid) is an FDA-approved injectable to gradually breakdown submental fat (double chin). There are also a variety of skin-tightening radiofrequency and microneedling devices that may be suitable for patients seeking a less invasive approach to neck contouring, although these treatments have their limitations.
Submental (Neck) liposuction: removes excess fat deposits from the chin and neck to create a slimmer and more contoured profile. This minimally invasive procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and is ideal for younger patients, both male and female, with good skin elasticity and localized fat accumulation.
Chin Augmentation: For individuals with a weak or recessed chin, chin augmentation can improve the balance between the chin and neck, enhancing overall facial harmony. See Implants for more info.
Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty): addresses sagging skin and loose muscles (platysma) by tightening the platysma and removing excess skin to restore a smoother and firmer neckline. See Neck Lift for more info.
What to Expect
Consultation: During your one-on-one consultation, Dr. Randall will discuss your goals, perform a thorough evaluation, and create a custom plan.
Procedure: Kybella is performed in office using topical anesthesia and a grid of small injections under the chin. The appointment only takes about 30 minutes, but often requires multiple treatments over several months for optimal results.
Submental liposuction can be performed under local or general anesthesia and can be combined with other procedures such as a chin implant. The procedure can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes depending on the extent of liposuction needed.
Recovery: For Kybella most patients experience mild to moderate swelling, and return to daily activities within a few days. For submental liposuction it may take 1-2 weeks, with full results visible as swelling subsides over several months.
