As with any surgery, scarring is to be expected. However, the scars from Vaser liposuction are usually small and can fade over time. As everyone is different, how noticeable the scars appear once healed will always vary. In compliance with AHPRA's updated cosmetic surgery advertising guidelines, some before and after images have been blurred. If you would like to book an in-person consultation, we can discuss your specific goals and treatment options.

Chin/Neck Vaser Liposuction At A Glance

Vaser liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets fat reduction in the chin/neck whilst enhancing skin retraction. This treatment option can address the small localised fat deposits in the area for suitable candidates.
Average Procedure Time 30 minutes
Anaesthetic Type Local with sedation
Hospital Stay Day
TIME OFF WORK 1 week on average depending on multiple factors
Average RECOVERY 6 weeks

Benefits

  • Jawline Changes: The procedure removes small fat deposits from the under-chin and neck area, which can lead to changes in the jawline structure.
  • Fat Reduction Under the Chin: Targeting and removing fat under the chin can decrease fullness in this area, which may affect overall facial proportions.
  • Neck Shape: Liposuction in the neck area can reduce the amount of fatty tissue, resulting in a change to the neck’s shape.

Potential Candidates

Thinking of chin/neck Vaser liposuction and wondering if it’s the right fit for you? If you identify with the following, you’re likely a suitable candidate for surgery.

  • You’re looking to target specific areas of fat rather than overall weight loss.
  • You’re in good health.
  • You are at a stable weight and are committed to a healthy lifestyle to maintain results.
  • You have good skin elasticity.
  • You don’t smoke – candidates must quit or refrain from smoking before and after the procedure.
  • You’re not pregnant or nursing.
  • You understand that Vaser lipo is not a substitute for proper diet and exercise and should have realistic goals for the procedure.

What to Expect From Chin/Neck Vaser Liposuction

Consultation Pre-Op The Procedure Aftercare & Recovery
Consultation

During the initial consultations for Vaser liposuction, you’ll meet with one of our qualified doctors. These appointments are an essential step where your medical history, current health status, and treatment goals will be thoroughly discussed.

A Levant Cosmetic Surgery doctor will assess whether you are a suitable candidate for Vaser liposuction and provide a detailed explanation of the procedure, including the potential risks, side effects, and complications. This is also the time for you to ask any questions or express any concerns you may have about the process.

Pre-Op

Before having surgery, there are important preparations to be made. You may be required to undergo various medical tests and evaluations to ensure you are physically ready for the procedure.

We will provide you with detailed pre-operative instructions, including guidelines on fasting and medication. You’ll also receive information on what to wear and any specific preparations needed for the day of the surgery. It’s crucial to closely follow these instructions to ensure a smooth and safe surgical experience.

The Procedure

The Vaser liposuction technique, performed under sedation, employs ultrasound to target and dissolve fat. A special solution is introduced to the chin/neck to minimise discomfort and bleeding, followed by the insertion of the Vaser probe to break down fat cells.

Collagen contraction for skin tightening is an additional benefit of the heat produced during the process. The liquefied fat is then extracted using suction from the targeted areas.

Aftercare & Recovery

Getting Home

You will be required to be collected by a responsible adult to stay with you for the remainder of the day and overnight. Even if you feel normal, your reaction time will be slower after receiving sedation medication.

Aftercare

  • After your procedure, you’ll receive comprehensive post-operative instructions for a smooth transition home.
  • We provide a 24/7 contact number for any post-surgery questions, ensuring you can always reach us.
  • Your post-surgery care will be overseen by your doctor, supported by our dedicated care team.

Recovery Timeline

Immediate Post-Procedure

You’ll be released into the care of a responsible adult family member or friend.

An overnight hospital stay is not required.

Once home, you must rest and take it easy.

First Two Weeks

Expect to experience some soreness and tenderness, but we’ll provide pain relief to minimise discomfort.

Compression garments are always worn post-procedure. For treatment on the chin/neck you will be required to wear a compression garment full-time for 1 week, and then part-time for another 2 weeks.

You should be able to start driving again after a few days.

During this time follow-up appointments will commence as organised by your care team.

Two Weeks & Beyond

Follow-up appointments will continue as necessary and are scheduled by your care team.

You must continue to wear your compression garments as directed.

A surgical review with your doctor takes place approximately 6-8 weeks post-procedure.

Full recovery occurs around the 6 week mark, with final results evident in 6-12 months.

How Much Does Chin/Neck Vaser Liposuction Cost?

The cost of chin/neck liposuction at Levant Cosmetic Surgery varies, as there’s no standard price for this procedure. The cost is generally divided into:

  • Hospital Fees: Covering the operating room and recovery period post-anaesthesia.
  • Anaesthetic Fees: Depending on the individual sedation needs of the patient.
  • Doctor Fees: Based on the doctor’s rates and the complexity of your case.

It’s essential to remember that individual results will vary. Realistic expectations are an essential component of patient suitability, and liposuction isn’t a solution for body image concerns or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and exercise.

For precise pricing, a detailed quote will be provided during the consultation.

Why It Pays To Choose A Qualified Doctor

Choosing the cheapest option is rarely the best choice, especially in healthcare and cosmetic procedures.

Cheaper prices often mean lower quality, safety risks, potentially short-lived results, lack of personalised care, and the possibility of additional costs for corrections.

Prioritising quality and expertise is key to better outcomes and overall satisfaction.

FAQs

What are the risks and potential side effects of Vaser liposuction?
All liposuction procedures – including chin and neck Vaser lipo – have inherent risks and side effects to consider before surgery. These potential side effects may include bruising and bleeding, fluid build-up beneath the skin, persistent pain and swelling, uneven appearance, unsatisfactory results, changes in skin sensation, and risk of infections, blood clots, or skin burns. It's important to discuss these concerns in-depth with your doctor before making a decision.
Will I have scarring?
Scarring is a natural outcome of surgery, and the incisions made for Vaser Liposuction typically fade over time. The visibility of scars varies among individuals, influenced by factors such as skin type and scarring history.
Is Vaser liposuction suitable for obese individuals?
Vaser Liposuction is not intended for treating obesity; it is not a weight loss surgery. However, we do offer Mega Liposuction for those looking to remove a significant amount of fat.
Are there non-surgical alternatives for fat removal?
For non-surgical fat reduction, we provide CoolSculpting treatments, suitable for specific areas of the body. These procedures offer a non-invasive alternative to surgery.
Are the results of liposuction permanent?
While removed fat cells are unlikely to return in the treated areas, individual results may vary, and lifestyle factors play a role in maintaining results.
How does chin/neck liposuction differ from body liposuction?
Liposuction on the chin and neck has a quicker recovery time compared to body liposuction for two reasons. First, less fat is removed during chin/neck liposuction, and second, chin/neck swelling typically subsides faster since the area is positioned above the heart. During your chin/neck liposuction, only a small amount of fat, typically a few ounces, is removed, whereas body liposuction can involve removing several litres of fat.
