Submental liposuction, also known as neck liposuction, by our Scottsdale, AZ board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Carlos Mata, can be a beneficial treatment for men and women needing to create a sleeker, slimmer neck, and a stronger facial profile. Extra fat within the neck area may give a person the appearance of having a double chin. With neck liposuction, the excess fat is suctioned out of the area for a slimming effect. Some of our patients will not be candidates for liposuction alone. Many patients with loose and sagging skin may also consider having a neck lift (a skin removal and tightening technique) as well to achieve the best results. Dr. Mata, a.k.a. Dr. Scottsdale® will determine which procedure is correct for you to design your treatment plan.

During/After Surgery
Neck liposuction surgery is always performed in our surgical center with the use of IV or deep sedation (patient are breathing on their own). It is an outpatient procedure, but patients are advised to have someone stay with them for at least the first 24 hours. It is important to avoid putting any pressure on the neck and patients will be advised to sleep sitting up for a few days. A restricted diet will also be required to help aid healing. The results are often obvious immediately after surgery with optimal improvement seen after a few months.
