# Neck Liposuction

Neck liposuction, chin liposuction, and submental liposuction describe the same procedure under different names: surgical removal of superficial fat from beneath the chin and along the upper neck. In suitable patients, the procedure improves double-chin fullness and sharpens the jawline-neck contour. It works best when the fullness is caused by superficial fat sitting above the platysma muscle and when skin elasticity is good. It does not tighten loose skin, repair platysma bands, or treat deeper neck structures. Patient selection is what separates a good liposuction result from a disappointing one.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS) practising from Bondi Junction and Manly in Sydney. He performs neck and chin liposuction only in patients whose anatomy and skin quality suit the procedure, and recommends a different operation where the broader anatomy calls for one. This page explains what neck liposuction does and does not address, who it is appropriate for, how it compares to other neck procedures, and what to expect through surgery and recovery.
