Chin/Neck Liposuction: starts at $2500
If you’re bothered by the look of a double chin, saggy neck, or droopy jawline, chin and neck liposuction can dramatically improve your appearance by giving you tighter, slimmer, and more athletic facial features.
Liposuction sculpting is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures at our practice. Not only is it safe, but the results can be transformational for the whole face, as, for many patients, they establish a strong jawline and neck. Another important benefit is that the overall liposuction procedure itself involves minimal discomfort.
Speak to Dr. Eric Tuggle and our team at Sandia Cosmetic Facial Surgery during your free consultation to discover if chin and neck liposuction in Albuquerque is right for you.
Before your procedure can be confirmed, you will need to meet with Dr. Eric Tuggle and our team during a complimentary consultation. This consultation can be conducted in person at our office or virtually, depending on your preference. During the session, we will thoroughly review your medical history and assess factors such as your age, weight, and skin type. Our goal is to ensure that you are both physically and emotionally prepared for surgery. Once you are medically cleared for the surgery, you will schedule your appointment for your procedure at our practice.
Overall, your procedure will take a few hours, and we suggest that you take the entire day off from work. Your chin and neck liposuction will be an outpatient surgery that takes place in our Albuquerque office. It will be performed under light, general anesthesia and will only require small incisions that we will perform in the natural creases of your skin. This means any resultant scarring is cleverly concealed, where possible. With targeted suction, we can remove unwanted fat and excess skin from your chin, neck, and jawline—and tighten the remaining skin up—to give you a more contoured look.
As we contour the fat around your neck to the perfect thickness, we establish an optimal neck contour that is unique to you alone. Dr. Tuggle will then apply a pressure bandage, as needed, to minimize swelling and bruising.
If you’re experiencing neck laxity, it may be due to a weakening of the thin platysma muscle beneath the skin. We can address this by tightening the muscle while performing liposuction to achieve a smoother, more defined result.
If you have fat under your chin and in your neck that won’t go away despite your attempts at dieting and exercise, you may be an excellent candidate for this procedure.
Typically, we require candidates for chin and neck liposuction in Albuquerque to be:
If you meet these criteria, schedule your consultation with Dr. Tuggle for your Albuquerque neck and chin liposuction. We can help you discover if this treatment is right for you. In the event that you are not a suitable candidate for this procedure, we can help you choose an alternative treatment that will be better suited to your needs.
Recovery varies from patient to patient based on individual factors, but the initial healing process usually takes between seven to ten days. During this time, it is best to take time off from work and enjoy complete rest. This means no physical activity that could strain your facial skin and muscles and impact your results. At this stage, you also want to avoid the sun and wearing makeup or skincare products. Dr. Tuggle will also give you individualized guidance to help you recover from your chin and neck liposuction procedure in Albuquerque.
Every patient is different, and while ten days is usually enough for some patients, others may require additional healing time. Dr. Tuggle will schedule follow-up appointments with you accordingly to monitor your progress and to address any concerns promptly. After two weeks, many patients feel that they are comfortable enough to return to their normal, everyday activities. Dr. Tuggle may still advise you to avoid the gym and strenuous physical activity until your face is fully healed.
As long as you carefully follow the aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Tuggle and our expert medical team, your results will be permanent. Dr. Tuggle will provide you with these directions well in advance of your surgery to help you achieve an optimal outcome and recovery.
