A defined jawline can make a big difference in how you look and feel. But for many, stubborn fat under the chin can create the appearance of a double chin or a less contoured neck. Even with diet and exercise, this area can be difficult to slim down. That’s where neck liposuction, also called submental liposuction, can help.
At Zuri Plastic Surgery in Miami, Dr. Z offers neck liposuction to remove unwanted fat beneath the chin and along the neck. The result? A smoother, slimmer profile that enhances your natural beauty. If you're looking for a minimally invasive way to refine your neck and jawline, this could be the right solution for you.

Neck liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that targets fat under the chin and around the neck. By removing these stubborn fat pockets, the area is sculpted to reveal a more defined jawline and an elegant contour. This procedure involves making small incisions in discreet areas—usually under the chin or behind the ears. Through these incisions, a thin tube called a cannula is used to gently suction out excess fat. If you have good skin elasticity, the skin will naturally adjust to the slimmer shape, leaving you with a tighter, more youthful neck. While a neck lift focuses on tightening loose skin, neck liposuction is perfect for patients who want to address fat accumulation without altering the underlying muscles or skin.
Dr. Z always combines neck liposuction with radiofrequency skin tightening technology using Renuvion (J-Plasma) to achieve superior results. This advanced technology tightens the skin after fat removal, ensuring smoother contours and preventing sagging that can sometimes occur after liposuction alone. For optimal skin tightening, Renuvion is paired with Morpheus8, a radiofrequency microneedling treatment that enhances collagen production and improves overall skin quality. This powerful combination provides comprehensive rejuvenation, refining both the structure and texture of the neck for a youthful, sculpted look.
Neck liposuction is about feeling good in your skin. Here’s how this simple yet effective procedure can make a difference:
If needed, neck liposuction can also be paired with other procedures like a brow lift or chin augmentation to enhance facial harmony further.
Not everyone is the right fit for neck liposuction, but many are. Here’s how to know if this procedure could work for you:
However, if you have significant loose skin or sagging in the neck, a neck lift procedure may be a better fit. Dr. Z will help you decide what’s best during your initial consultation.
Your neck liposuction journey at Zuri Plastic Surgery starts with a thorough consultation. During this visit, Dr. Z will:
Preparing for surgery typically involves avoiding smoking, certain medications, and alcohol. Following these instructions helps ensure a smooth recovery process and the best possible results.
Patients can have either local or general anesthesia, and the surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure. If the eyelid surgery is being performed as a standalone operation, this takes around two hours. During your blepharoplasty Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Zuriarrain will make incisions in the areas discussed during the consultation for each area that will be receiving attention. Once these are made, then excess fat will be repositioned and tissues lifted and placed in the optimum positions. Any excess skin or tissue will be trimmed before incisions are closed and gauze used to cover areas.
Performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, neck liposuction is a quick and straightforward procedure:
The procedure typically lasts one to two hours, depending on the amount of fat removed and whether additional cosmetic procedures are performed.
After neck liposuction, most patients experience mild swelling and bruising, which gradually subsides within one to two weeks. Wearing a compression garment helps minimize swelling and supports the neck area during healing.

Neck liposuction primarily removes fat cells, but it does not significantly address loose skin. If skin laxity is a concern, neck lift surgery or combining neck liposuction with skin-tightening treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
Yes, neck liposuction is often performed alongside other procedures such as:
Neck liposuction is a surgical procedure that provides immediate results by physically removing excess fat. Kybella, an injectable treatment, dissolves fat over multiple sessions but may require up to six treatments to achieve similar results. Kybella is not recommended as it also causes significant and prolonged inflammation. Liposuction is often preferred for faster and more dramatic changes.
