Achieve a More Defined Profile, Expertly Sculpted

Subtle changes in the neck can dramatically alter how your entire face is perceived. As a highly-trained plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Chung combines advanced surgical technique with an artist’s eye for harmony to create effortless and natural results. His approach to neck liposuction is highly individualized, ensuring that every contour complements your unique facial structure in motion and everyday life, not just in photographs.

What Is Neck Liposuction?

Neck liposuction in McKinney is a minimally invasive procedure to remove stubborn fat deposits beneath the chin and along the jawline. Due to genetics or age-related changes, these areas are often resistant to diet and exercise.

This targeted contouring can:

  • Address a “double chin”
  • Restores a smoother neck profile
  • Creates a more defined transition between the face and neck

Dr. Michael Chung removes excess adipose tissue using small, discreet incisions and ultra-fine cannulas while protecting the  

surrounding skin, muscles, and vital structures. This approach allows for:

  • Improved neck and jawline definition through strategic fat removal
  • Natural skin re-draping in patients with good elasticity, reducing the need for additional tightening procedures
  • Potential collagen stimulation during healing, subtly enhancing skin texture over time

For patients with more significant skin laxity, neck liposuction can be paired with a neck lift or advanced skin tightening treatments to achieve the most refined results.

  • Minimal scarring, with incisions hidden in natural creases
  • Often performed as an outpatient procedure with a quick recovery

Are You a Good Candidate?

You may be a strong candidate for neck liposuction if you:

  • Have localized fat beneath the chin or along the jawline that does not respond to diet or exercise
  • Maintain good skin elasticity to allow a smooth contour after fat removal
  • Are in overall good health without uncontrolled medical conditions that impair healing
  • Do not smoke or are willing to stop before and after surgery

You’ll then receive:

  • A fully customized surgical plan tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic vision

By the end of your visit, you’ll have a clear, personalized path forward.

The Neck Liposuction Experience

Neck liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, or general anesthesia if combined with other procedures. Dr. Chung makes a tiny incision, often hidden beneath the chin or behind the ears, and uses a fine cannula to gently remove targeted fat deposits.

The process generally takes less than an hour, and patients return home the same day. For the first week, a supportive compression garment may be worn to aid in contouring and reduce swelling.

Recovery and Results

  • Days 1–3: Mild swelling and bruising; wear compression garment as directed.
  • 1 week: Many patients return to work and social activities.
  • 2–3 weeks: Most swelling subsides; early contour is visible.
  • 3 months: The final results reveal a smoother, more defined neckline. When paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, these results are considered permanent.

How does neck liposuction compare to non-surgical fat reduction?

Will neck liposuction tighten my skin?

Neck liposuction removes fat, and if your skin has good elasticity, it can re-drape smoothly. If there's laxity, Dr. Chung may suggest combining liposuction with a neck lift or non-surgical tightening for optimal results.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia ensures comfort during surgery, and post-operative soreness is usually mild and well-managed with prescribed medication.

Is there visible scarring?

Incisions are tiny—often just a few millimeters—and strategically placed under the chin or behind the ears to remain discreet. Over time, they typically fade to near invisibility.

Who is not a good candidate?

Those with poor skin elasticity, uncontrolled health conditions, active infections, or unrealistic expectations may not be ideal candidates. Dr. Chung will evaluate your anatomy and goals to determine whether neck liposuction or another treatment will serve you best.

How does neck liposuction compare to non-surgical fat reduction?

Procedures like Kybella® or CoolSculpting® may reduce small amounts of fat without surgery, but they often require multiple sessions and yield subtler results. Neck liposuction offers immediate, more dramatic improvement in a single procedure.
