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.
To achieve the most balanced and refined results, neck liposuction in McKinney can be combined with other facial procedures. Popular options include:

Who is not a good candidate?
How does neck liposuction compare to non-surgical fat reduction?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
