One of the most frequently requested procedures is liposuction of the neck for a double chin.
It is not only corpulent people who suffer from a double chin, although it is almost always present in this group of people.
Even young and slim people can have a double chin, which is usually due to heredity. This group of people want liposuction on the neck not only because of the current ‘as-is’ condition, but also because of the justified concern that it will deteriorate further with age.
Preparation for liposuction on the neck for a double chin?
The first step before liposuction of the neck is a professional assessment of the findings by the plastic surgeon. Depending on the size of the fat pad, the quality of the skin, how much excess skin is present and the age of the patient, the indication for surgery may be given.
The most important question is whether classic liposuction of the neck is sufficient or whether additional tightening is necessary due to the resulting excess skin after the double chin operation.
In the case of an older patient with more excess skin on the neck, a decision must be made as to whether a more complex operation, the lower facelift, would lead to a better overall result.
Such a facelift is more complex, but could be more satisfactory for the patient overall.
In extreme cases, the fat pad on the neck can be so extensive that it is no longer referred to as a double chin, but as a so-called turkey neck. In this case, liposuction or a facelift may no longer achieve the desired result. At Yuveo Düsseldorf, however, we can correct a turkey neck by removing excess skin.
This procedure is called a direct neck lift. However, it can lead to scarring in the middle of the neck. However, such findings are rather rare in the clinic. As a rule, we can make a correction with the help of a double chin liposuction on the neck.
