Frequent Asked Questions
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during surgery. Post-surgery, you may experience mild soreness, bruising, and tightness, which are manageable with prescribed medication.
The incisions are tiny (typically 2-3mm) and strategically placed beneath the chin or behind the earlobes, making them virtually invisible once fully healed.
Liposuction removes fat but does not tighten skin. However, techniques like Vaser lipo encourage some skin retraction. If you have significant skin laxity, a neck lift may be recommended alongside or instead of liposuction.
While you will notice an immediate improvement in your neck contour, initial swelling will mask the final result. Most swelling subsides within 2 to 4 weeks, with final refined results visible after 3 to 6 months.
Yes, the fat cells removed during the procedure are permanently gone. However, maintaining a stable weight is crucial, as remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight.
Absolutely. It is frequently combined with procedures like a neck lift, facelift, chin augmentation (implants or fillers), or jawline contouring to maximize overall facial harmony.
Most patients feel comfortable returning to desk work within 3 to 5 days. You may need to wear a compression garment intermittently or continuously depending on your surgeon’s advice.
Treatments like fat-dissolving injections (e.g., Aqualyx) or cryolipolysis can reduce submental fat, but liposuction offers more precise, immediate, and comprehensive contouring in a single session.
