Neck Liposuction FAQs

Will I have visible scarring?

Dr. Mizgala places incisions for neck liposuction where they can be easily concealed. During your consultation for neck liposuction New Orleans plastic surgeon Dr. Mizgala will show you where she can place the incisions needed for the surgery. These incisions can be made in the natural folds of your skin or just below your jawline where they will be impossible to see. Dr. Mizgala will recommend scar care management so your incisions heal flat and blend with your normal skin.

Does the fat come back after a neck liposuction procedure?

The liposuction process removes fat cells from the neck, which cannot grow back. However, if you gain weight later the fat cells left in your neck can expand, therefore a healthy lifestyle and good eating habits are recommended.

Should I get a neck lift or neck liposuction?

Dr. Mizgala will help you understand if you want a neck lift, neck liposuction, or both during your consultation. In general, a lift helps remove excess skin while neck liposuction reduces fat. In many cases, getting both a lift and liposuction can yield beautiful results for a smooth, even neckline. Talk to Dr. Mizgala about your goals during your consultation so she can create your unique treatment plan.

How much does neck liposuction cost?

The cost of neck liposuction can vary, depending on several factors, including the amount of treatment needed for your desired outcome. On average, neck liposuction will cost around $1,500 – $4,000. This surgery only requires a small amount of fat to be removed. Patients who are troubled with loose or hanging skin in the neck area may be better candidates for a neck lift, which is more expensive but offers outstanding results.

Surgical Technique

During neck liposuction New Orleans plastic surgeon Dr. Mizgala uses new technology to remove undesired fat after making a very small incision below the chin. A numbing tumescent solution is infused into the treatment area to make the procedure painless. Neck lipo can be performed on its own, but many patients choose to combine it with another procedure, such as FaceTite or Renuvion skin tightening, to create the desired tight, firm neck.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER NECK LIPOSUCTION
