About this procedure

Surgery aimed at the fat, muscle and glandular anatomy of the deeper layers of the neck, where removing superficial fat alone is not enough.

Surgical approach and technique

Through a small incision under the chin, the deep fat beneath the muscle is addressed, and where necessary the digastric muscles and the ptotic portions of the submandibular glands.

Who is it for?

Assessed after examination in people whose neck structure carries excess volume in the deep plane and whose jaw-to-neck angle is indistinct.

Recovery

Tissue swelling settles within the first 10-14 days. A clear, deep neck contour takes shape beneath the jawbone.

Back to desk work: approx. 10 days. Social recovery: approx. 18 days. Depending on the scope of surgery you should plan for between 6 and 12 nights. The exact figure is confirmed in writing with your treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions

How does it differ from submental liposuction?

Liposuction removes only the fat beneath the skin; deep neck sculpting addresses the deep fat and tissue layers beneath the muscle.

Where does the surgical scar lie?

The incision is placed in the natural crease under the chin, so it is not conspicuous from the outside.
