LIPOSUCTION OF THE NECK AND CHIN IN NEW YORK CITY BY DR. BERAKA

Best Candidates:

People with localized excess fat under their chins.
People with a full heavy neck or a double chin.
People who want a tight, well defined neck.
A man can put on a shirt and tie and see if there is a bulge above the collar.
Loosing weight does not help. You can be very thin and still have a fatty neck. It is usually genetic. Look at family pictures.
Patients range in age from 18 to 55.

What’s special about my approach:

I study your face and neck in great detail and then I make an individual plan.
This is very important because everybody's anatomy is different. Liposuction will only help you if excess fat is the main problem, and if your skin is not too loose.
I do all of your surgery myself. Gentle meticulous technique and a good eye are essential.
It is important to remove just the right amount of fat to leave the neck and chin looking natural.
In some patients, a chin implant is a great combination with liposuction of the neck and chin to create a more defined, sculptured look.

The Procedure:

Liposuction of the neck and chin is amazingly simple, safe, and effective. It actually should be done more often than it is, and the results can be dramatic.
It takes 30 minutes under local anesthesia with light sedation, and the recovery period is about 5 days.
This is scar-less, and almost painless surgery. The procedure is done with one tiny stick under the chin and another tiny stick behind each ear.
I use subdermal tunneling along with the liposuction to tighten the skin of your neck.
