Neck Liposuction

A lighter, more defined jawline and neck, with minimal downtime.

A double chin that won't go away, no matter the diet or exercise

Some patients carry fullness under the chin and along the jawline that does not improve with diet or exercise. Often this is simply genetic, a fullness that has been there for years, and no amount of weight loss seems to change it. It can make the face look heavier and the jawline less defined. Neck liposuction removes this stubborn fat directly, restoring a lighter, more defined jawline and neck.

A precise, in-clinic contouring procedure

Neck liposuction gently removes the stubborn pocket of fat beneath the chin and along the jawline, refining the neck and sharpening the line of the jaw.

It is performed in clinic through three tiny incisions, each no larger than a needle prick, placed discreetly beneath the chin and behind the ears. These are imperceptible once healed, and you go home the same day.

Is neck liposuction right for you?

  • You have a double chin or fullness under the jaw that does not improve with diet or exercise

  • You feel your jawline looks heavy or undefined

  • The fullness is genetic, or has been present for a long time

  • You have good skin tone and elasticity

  • You are in good general health

Neck liposuction works best for patients with good skin elasticity. If there is loose skin, neck banding, or deeper structures to address, a neck lift is often the better option.

Precise contouring, with options to refine the result

Dr. Husain performs neck liposuction in clinic, under local anaesthesia. The aim is a clean, natural contour that defines the jawline, with a smooth, quick recovery.

Where skin tightening would improve the result, Dr. Husain combines the procedure with radiofrequency technology. There are two complementary options:

• Microneedling with radiofrequency, which delivers energy more superficially while also improving the skin texture

• An internal probe passed beneath the skin, which delivers radiofrequency energy more deeply to tighten and firm from within

Both encourage the skin to retract and firm over the months following the procedure.

In selected cases, fat removed during the procedure can be purified and reused in the same session, as micro or nanofat, to augment areas such as the jawline, or to support skin healing.

A quick, straightforward recovery

Neck liposuction has minimal downtime. Patients go home the same day and return to work within three to five days, though a supportive garment may still be worn under clothing in the first week.

Light walking is encouraged from the first day. Most patients return to light cardio at around two weeks, and full activity by three to four weeks.

You will be seen by Dr. Husain at every follow-up, with detailed recovery guidance, including garment use, provided in person.

A lasting, naturally defined contour

The fat removed during neck liposuction is gone permanently and does not return, so the results are long-lasting.

Early improvement is visible as the swelling settles over the first few weeks, with the final, refined contour emerging over three to six months. Maintaining a stable weight preserves the result.

As with all of Dr. Husain’s work, the aim is a result that is natural and refined, never overdone.
