Neck Liposuction
Precision Submental & Neck Contouring by Dr. Elie Ramly
A sharp, defined jawline and a clean neck profile define timeless elegance. At Ramly Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, Dr. Elie Ramly offers refined neck liposuction and submental contouring tailored to deliver a sculpted, youthful neck — without visible tension, overcorrection, or an artificial look.
For patients with fullness under the chin, early loss of definition, or early neck soft-tissue changes, neck liposuction can offer subtle yet powerful improvement. This is quiet-luxury contouring, executed with surgical precision and aesthetic restraint.
What Is Neck Liposuction?
Neck liposuction removes excess fat deposits beneath the chin and along the submental region, refining the jawline and neck silhouette. It is a targeted treatment for:
Submental fat (double chin)
Early fullness under the jawline
Mild loss of jawline definition
Undesired “softness” below the chin
Early signs of neck fullness — before tissue laxity or skin redundancy set in
It is not designed to correct significant skin laxity, platysma banding, or severe neck aging — those require a full neck lift. Rather, neck liposuction is ideal when definition is lost due to fat, not structural aging.
Why Choose Neck Liposuction Instead of a Neck Lift?
Neck LiposuctionNeck Lift / Deep-Neck SurgeryBest for mild–moderate fullness and good skin toneRequired for loose skin, muscle banding, or structural agingShorter recovery, less invasiveMore comprehensive contour correctionTargets fat only, preserves natural movementAddresses tissue support and skin laxityMinimal scarring, quick healingMore extensive surgery with deeper results
If your concerns are limited to localized fat under the chin or mild fullness, neck liposuction can provide elegant, subtle contouring with faster recovery.
Dr. Ramly’s Approach to Neck Liposuction
Precision, balance, and natural-looking definition
Dr. Ramly’s goal is a refined, natural-looking jawline and neck — never over-suctioned, never harsh. This approach centers on:
Conservative fat removal — ensuring natural volume and avoiding hollowness
Anatomic awareness — safeguarding nerves, vessels, and vital structures
Even contouring — smooth transitions from chin to neck and jaw to neckline
Subtle incisions — small, discreet entry points hidden behind the ears or under the chin
Aesthetic symmetry — balancing both sides for harmonious results
Patient-specific planning — tailoring the procedure to your anatomy, skin tone, and goals
The result is a neck and jawline that looks clean, youthful, and natural — as if you simply “lost the fullness,” not had surgery.
Ideal Candidates for Neck Liposuction
You may be an excellent candidate if you:
Have good to moderate skin elasticity
Notice fatty fullness or a “double chin” rather than sagging skin or deep muscle bands
Want a less invasive procedure than a full neck lift
Prefer subtle enhancement over dramatic transformation
Are in generally good health and maintain stable weight
Want quick recovery and minimal downtime
If you also have mild jawline blunting or early softening under the chin — neck liposuction can significantly improve your contour while preserving natural movement.
What Neck Liposuction Can Achieve
After a refined neck liposuction:
A cleaner, sculpted jawline
A more defined chin–neck angle
Reduction or elimination of submental fullness / double chin
Smoother transition from jaw to neck
Natural facial-neck harmony, even in motion and smiling
Faster recovery and discreet, minimal scarring
For many patients, results are subtle yet transformative — enhancing profile aesthetics without ever appearing “done.”

Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3: swelling, mild tightness, slight bruising — conservatively managed and usually minimal
Day 4–7: most patients feel comfortable returning to light social engagement
Week 2: swelling subsides significantly; contour becomes more visible
Weeks 3–4: final contour emerges, skin re-drapes naturally
Months 2–6: neck area settles, results mature, subtle long-term definition remains
Because this is a focused procedure, most of the recovery is social downtime — not painful or disruptive.
When Neck Liposuction Alone Isn’t Enough
Neck liposuction is powerful — but only for the right candidates. You may need a neck lift if you have:
Significant skin laxity or sagging
Pronounced platysma banding
Loss of structural support
Submandibular gland prominence
Loose or redundant skin unresponsive to fat removal
In those cases, a full neck lift (or combined procedure) will deliver superior, long-lasting contour and definition.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will I have visible scars?
No. Incisions are small, discreet, and placed in inconspicuous areas (behind the ear or under the chin). Most scars fade to nearly invisible.
Is neck liposuction painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort or tightness. Pain is minimal and easily managed.
How long until I see final results?
Initial contouring is visible within a week or two; final results typically emerge by 3–4 weeks, with full softening and settling by 2–3 months.
Can fat come back after liposuction?
With stable weight and healthy lifestyle, fat in the treated areas is unlikely to return. Maintaining stable weight is key.
Will I need a neck lift later?
If aging or skin laxity progresses over time, further rejuvenation (neck lift) can be considered — but many patients remain satisfied with liposuction alone for years.
Is this procedure safe after weight loss or GLP-1 therapy?
Yes — for patients with good skin tone or minimal laxity, neck liposuction can safely enhance contour. For more significant changes, a full neck lift may be recommended.
