Neck & Submental Liposuction in Burlington
Neck and submental liposuction removes stubborn fat beneath the chin and along the neck to reveal a cleaner, more defined jawline and slimmer profile. We tailor technique—tumescent liposuction, targeted surgical excision, or radiofrequency-assisted contouring—based on your anatomy and skin quality to deliver natural, balanced results with discreet incisions and board-supervised care.
Who this is for
Ideal for adults with localized neck or double-chin fullness that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise, and for patients who want a permanent reduction in submental fat with predictable recovery and minimal scarring.
What to expect
Your consultation includes a focused neck and facial assessment, discussion of options (liposuction alone vs. combined tightening), and personalized planning for anesthesia and aftercare. Procedures are commonly done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for larger cases. Expect immediate contour improvement with short-term swelling and bruising; most patients return to light activity within a few days and resume full exercise in 2–4 weeks. We provide compression garment guidance, clear post-op instructions, and scheduled follow-ups to optimize healing and contour quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common questions we hear about Neck or Submental Liposuction in Burlington
What is neck or submental liposuction?
Neck/submental liposuction is a targeted cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat beneath the chin and along the neck to reveal a cleaner jawline and slimmer profile. Techniques vary from traditional tumescent liposuction to RF-assisted or laser-assisted contouring depending on skin laxity.
Who is a good candidate for neck liposuction?
Good candidates are adults with localized submental or neck fullness that doesn’t respond to diet/exercise, who have reasonable skin elasticity and are in overall good health. A consultation in Burlington will confirm whether liposuction alone or a tightening adjunct is best.
What causes a double chin?
Double-chin fullness can come from genetics, weight gain, aging-related fat accumulation, and skin laxity. Your surgeon will assess the underlying mix of fat vs. loose skin to recommend the most effective treatment.
What techniques are used for submental contouring?
Options include tumescent liposuction, radiofrequency-assisted liposuction for added tissue tightening, plastymaplasty to tighten and contour the neckline and direct surgical excision (neck lift) for select cases. Technique choice depends on your anatomy and desired result.
What anesthesia is used and how long does the procedure take?
Many neck liposuction procedures are performed under local anesthesia; larger or combined cases may use general anesthesia. Typical procedure time ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on complexity.
What is the recovery and downtime after neck liposuction?
Expect swelling and mild bruising for 1–2 weeks. Most patients return to light activities within a few days, wear a compression garment under the chin for 1–2 weeks, and resume full exercise in 2–4 weeks based on your surgeon’s guidance.
Will I have visible scars after submental liposuction?
Incisions are typically tiny and placed in discreet locations under the chin or behind the jawline—scarring is minimal and usually difficult to detect once healed.
What are the risks and how are they minimized?
Risks include bleeding, infection, contour irregularity, asymmetry, or temporary numbness. Choosing a board-supervised surgical team, careful technique selection, and following pre- and post-op instructions significantly reduce risk.
How long do results last and what affects longevity?
Results are long-lasting when weight is maintained. Natural aging and significant weight fluctuation can change contour over time; combining liposuction with skin-tightening techniques can improve durability for patients with lax skin.
How should I prepare for a consultation and the procedure?
For consults bring your medical history, current medications, and photos of your goals. Before surgery stop smoking, avoid blood-thinning medications/supplements as instructed, arrange transportation and aftercare, and follow any pre-op testing or fasting instructions provided by your surgeon.
