The shape of the neck can become an esthetic problem after a certain age, especially in case of women who do care about the way they look. The neck liposuction is not only a matter of fat deposits, but also more a loose of the skin in the neck area due to the age. More and more women prefer to “solve” this problem with the help of a neck liposuction or face-lift. Being given the closeness between the two surgeries, people tend to confuse them. That is why neck liposuction surgery can be also called cosmetic plastic surgery. This procedure supposes the cut of the skin that has lost its firmness and elasticity.
The neck liposuction is destined not only for women. This type of liposuction as many other types can be performed for men as well. That is why neck liposuction enters the category liposuction for men. The candidate for this type of liposuction has usually a fat deposit and some other problems that make the neck look bigger. In case of neck liposuction for men the procedure can be complicated due to the Adam’s apple of larger dimensions. In case of older patients the neck is similar to a turkey there are obvious problems with platysma and an experienced surgeon will be able to detect the problem and to take care of the possible complications.
The benefits of a neck liposuction are obvious and play an important role in self-perception and the way you tend to relate with other people. The neck and face will look great after the liposuction surgery and therefore the self-esteem of the patient will change. A youthful look will help the patient to be more motivated to take care of his diet, lifestyle and facial cosmetic care. Even in case of male patients more confidence can be noticed in relationships and communication.
As for the surgical procedure itself, it is not as complicated as it may seem. The surgeon marks the areas where the fat is stored and should be removed and then the patient is given a sedative or general anesthesia, depending on the case. A tiny incision in the skin is made in order to insert the specific tube in the fatty area. This tube, called cannula, breaks up the fat deposits and helps removing the undesirable fat storage in the neck area with the help of high-pressure vacuum. Although there are some risks during the neck liposuction, as in the case of other liposuction procedures, the muscles, nerves, skin and blood vessels are usually not damaged.
The treated area can undergo some unpleasant changes after the liposuction procedure, such as: discoloration of the skin, sagging skin, numbness or lumpiness. There is a risk of complication in case the fat deposits from the neck area are big and in case of using the general anesthesia. If more than one surgical procedure is performed at the same time, there is a higher risk of developing complication in the post-operation period. Otherwise, the neck liposuction is not a complicated surgery and it takes about an hour, depending on the size of the treated area and of the fat storage.
The recovery period after the neck liposuction supposes some initial discomfort, but the doctor can prescribe to relieve the pain, numbness, bleeding or other problems. Two or three weeks are enough so that the patient would see visible results and the difference. Neck liposuction is responsible for the radical change of facial look and that is why it is so popular.
