Excess fullness beneath the chin is a common aesthetic concern for both women and men because a well-defined jawline and neck are considered universally attractive. Neck liposuction performed in Oakbrook Terrace, IL, by fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon Dr. Moriyike Akinosun removes unwanted fat and creates a more sculpted, contoured appearance.
Dr. Akinosun’s precise, conservative approach produces natural-looking neck definition rather than overcorrection. She tailors the procedure for your anatomy, helping you achieve a cleaner, more refined profile.
What Is Neck Liposuction?
Neck liposuction removes excess fat to improve the contour of the neck and jawline. It is ideal for patients with good skin elasticity who struggle with fullness or a “double chin.”
This procedure enhances definition without altering your natural features, creating a smoother transition from the chin to the neck.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Neck liposuction is best suited for people with excess fat under the chin, but who retain good skin elasticity. This elasticity allows the skin to contract smoothly after fat removal, creating a more defined jawline and neck.
A double chin is not always associated with weight gain. For many men and women, it’s an inherited trait or becomes more noticeable with age as fat accumulates beneath the chin.
If loose skin or neck muscle banding is more significant, Dr. Akinosun may recommend a neck lift or a combined approach for optimal results. During your consultation, she will evaluate your skin quality, the underlying structure, and your aesthetic goals to determine the most effective treatment plan.

Dr. Akinosun begins a neck liposuction procedure by making small, discreet incisions beneath the chin. Through these openings, she uses a small cannula to gently remove excess fat and sculpt the area.
Her technique emphasizes smooth, even contouring to avoid irregularities and ensure a natural-looking result.
Neck Liposuction vs. Neck Lift
While both procedures improve the appearance of the neck, they address different concerns.
- Neck liposuction focuses on removing excess fat and is best for patients with good skin tone.
- A neck lift addresses loose skin and muscle laxity in addition to fat.
For some patients, combining liposuction with a neck lift or other facial procedures such as chin augmentation can further enhance profile definition.
What To Expect During Recovery
Recovery from neck liposuction is typically straightforward, with most patients returning to normal activities relatively quickly.
Day of Surgery
You can expect some immediate swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, but you can easily manage it by following our post-op protocol. You must always wear a chin liposuction compression garment to reduce swelling.
First Week
Most patients can return to work and non-strenuous activities. Swelling and bruising begin to subside.
Weeks 2–4
Your neck’s contour continues to refine as residual swelling resolves. It’s no longer necessary to wear your compression garment around the clock. Most normal activities, including exercise, can be resumed with Dr. Akinosun’s guidance.
You’ll see the final results become more apparent as the skin adapts and settles over the newly contoured area. Dr. Akinosun provides detailed aftercare instructions and closely monitors your progress to ensure optimal healing and results.
Frequently
Asked Questions
How long do results last?
Once healing is complete, you can expect to enjoy the results of neck liposuction for up to 10 years or longer if you live a healthy lifestyle and maintain a consistent weight.
Will my skin tighten after liposuction?
If you have good skin elasticity, your skin will naturally contract after fat removal. If skin laxity is a concern, Dr. Akinosun may recommend a neck lift.
Is neck liposuction painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort or soreness during the initial recovery phase, which is typically well managed with medication.
When can I return to work?
Many patients return to work within a few days to a week, depending on swelling and personal comfort.
Can neck liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes. It is often combined with chin augmentation or other facial procedures to enhance overall balance and definition.
