A Step By Step Guide To Neck Liposuction

We’ve all heard of neck liposuction, the hot new way to address an unwanted turkey neck, but what exactly does this cosmetic surgery technique entail? Below is a step-by-step guide to what exactly happens during neck lipo.

The Steps
Step 1: Consultation
A neck liposuction procedure starts with a comprehensive consultation between the patient and their cosmetic surgeon. The surgeon evaluates the patient's candidacy for neck liposuction by discussing their goals, their concerns and their medical history.

Step 2: Procedure Preparation
The surgeon draws markings on the area of the patient that will be worked on. At this point, the patient is sometimes given local anesthesia and/or medication to ensure that they will be comfortable when their procedure begins.

Step 3: Minor Incisions
The surgeon makes miniscule, 2-4 millimeter incisions in predetermined spots. These sites are selected for their utility during the procedure, and for how well a potential small scar will be hidden.

Step 4: Tumescent Solution Injection
A tumescent solution is injected into the area. It is comprised of saline, adrenaline and local anesthetic. This solution aids in fat removal, reduces bleeding and numbs the region.
