CHIN/NECK LIPOSUCTION
Genetics, aging and other factors can impact the fatty deposits on your neck and under your chin. These types of fat accumulation are difficult to get rid of as they seem resistant to diet or exercise. If you want to slim your neck or define your chin, neck liposuction may be the best option. Dr. Munique Maia and our team at Maia Plastic Surgery offer neck liposuction (double chin removal) at our clinic in the greater Washington, DC, metro area.
Neck liposuction surgery is used to remove excess fat from the neck that creates an undesirable thickness or shape to the neck and chin. This is often a genetic condition and may have little to do with body weight. Some people carry extra fatty tissue under their chin or on their neck, which can cause a lack of definition of the chin and neck, especially from the profile. Neck liposuction can remove the excess fatty tissue to reshape and contour the neck and chin.
DOUBLE-CHIN REMOVAL
Are you troubled by the presence of a double chin? At Maia Plastic Surgery, we understand that excess fat beneath the chin can significantly impact your self-confidence and facial aesthetics. We offer a transformative solution for double chin removal through our specialized neck liposuction procedure. Using advanced techniques, Dr. Maia artfully sculpts the area, effectively eliminating the double chin and revealing a more defined jawline. With a commitment to safety and precision, Dr. Maia ensures that each patient receives personalized care and achieves natural-looking results, enhancing their overall facial harmony and boosting their self-esteem.
Jawline and neck liposuction for double chin removal is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Maia makes small, discreet incisions beneath the chin or behind the ears, through which a thin cannula is inserted to gently suction out the excess fat. This precise approach ensures minimal scarring and a quicker recovery period compared to more invasive surgical options.
I'm glad that I got my chin done with Dr. Maia- J.S.“It is also a bonus that I got it done by a Female Cosmetic Surgeon, I mean how often will you find a Female Cosmetic Surgeon in the area? Whether it is another procedure under the knife or injectable services, I look forward to coming back again…”
Dr Maia and her team are amazing!- J.P.“They make you feel like family and are there for you anytime you need them before/after your procedure. Dr Maia is honest and gives you realistic expectations for what your final results will be. This was my first time ever having a procedure done and I definitely will return”
IS COSMETIC NECK RESHAPING RIGHT FOR YOU?
Good candidates for neck liposuction are those who still have good skin laxity on the neck. Liposuction only removes fat under the skin, it does not remove excess skin or tighten the neck. Older adults who have fatty tissue and sagging skin may need a neck lift with liposuction to obtain the desired results. Dr. Maia can recommend the right procedure to slim the neck and define the chin if you have excess tissue or fat you want removed in the neck area

WHAT TO EXPECT
The Procedure
The procedure is relatively simple and straightforward. A patient, who is deemed a good candidate for this procedure, is given antibiotics, and anesthetized locally. The neck is injected with tumescent solution to give some pain relief and decrease the bleeding during surgery. Then, depending on the amount of fat and where the fat is prominent, two small incisions are made behind the ears or below the chin. Liposuction is performed to remove the desired amount of fat. When sufficient fat is removed, the incisions are closed, and then the patient’s head is wrapped.
Recovery
Our office will provide a comprehensive post-operative plan to ensure the best possible outcome. This plan will cover what to expect after surgery, including estimated recovery time, pain management, garments or dressings, and activity level recommendations.
You will need to limit activity for the first one to two weeks. We also ask that you refrain from exercise until cleared by the physician, usually around four weeks post-op. To optimize healing, avoid smoking for at least two weeks and follow a high-protein diet. Expect some degree of bruising and swelling; light make-up can be used to cover bruises starting a week after surgery. We also offer scar creams to enhance results.
To promote healing and minimize complications, you will have a series of post-op appointments, beginning the day after surgery and continuing throughout the first 3 months. For added convenience, you have access to an emergency phone line if you need to reach our staff after hours. The final post-op visit, 3 months after surgery, is one of our favorites, as the results are fully apparent and we love seeing our patients happy. You are always welcome to return and see us, even years after your surgery.
