Normally tumescent liposuction is used for removing fat from the neck. Liposuction is better than a neck lift since it leaves no scars, there is faster healing time and has a more natural appearance rather than getting a facelift. Most liposuction is done under local anesthesia and the dangers of general anesthesia are completely avoided.
Depending on the age and the fat deposits neck liposuction with laser surfacing and chemical peel can do wonders. Those women who have more fat and lots of wrinkles in the neck can benefit from the laser resurfacing and chemical peel. While women who are younger can benefit immensely from just a neck liposuction since they have good skin elasticity. Men are also particular about a neck liposuction, since they don’t want scars or any tell marks that show that they also have gone for liposuction surgery.
Those who have less fat but lots of folds on their neck should go for a facelift rather than a neck liposuction as it serves them better. Actually neck liposuction or face liposuction is often a misleading term and is better known as liposuction for submental or below the jaw. It can include the chin, jowls, and a small area of the cheek too.
Liposuction won’t remove the wrinkles, but only the fat from the neck. If you have pigmentation, acne marks and other such scars, they can only be removed through chemical peels. CO2 lasers and debrasing of the skin. You need an experienced surgeon to do this for you. CO2 laser can be used to tighten the loose skin. Of course the penetration into the skin needs to be controlled expertly. You don’t want to end up with other scars at the hands of less experienced surgeons.
Chemical peels are also quite effective. The surgeon can apply a variety of dilute chemical solutions to the skin on the face and the neck. This will lead to the abrasion of the first layer of the skin. Different concentrations are used depending on the marks and the skin types. Most surgeons use only superficial peels for superficial skin. This removes the blotches and the fine wrinkles. All face peels, CO2 lasers and liposuction can’t stop ageing, but they can give a youthful look and remove the ungainly cellulite deposits.
These procedures are performed on out patients and the patient can go back home immediately. Liposuction patients are required to wear a jock strap kind of a compression garment that helps their neck to heal faster and helps in the neck taking its new shape.
