Dealing with Unwanted Neck Fat: Your Options Explained
Many of us feel a bit down when we spot extra fat around our necks. We might feel it gives us an older look, or perhaps, just makes our neck and chin seem less sharp and defined. Having excess fat in this area can certainly take a toll on our confidence. But don’t worry! In this detailed article, we’re going to dive into the many effective ways you can address and reduce stubborn neck fat.
From surgical options like neck liposuction, which involves removing the fat, to procedures like a neck lift that tightens the skin, there are a variety of routes to explore. And if you’re not keen on surgery, there are also non-surgical treatments available, such as Morpheus8, that can help improve the appearance of the neck and reduce fat.
At Centre for Surgery, we understand how important it is to feel your best. That’s why we proudly offer all these treatments and more, ensuring you have all the options available to get that sleek, defined neck and chin you’re after.
Neck Liposuction: Sculpting A More Refined Silhouette
The neck is one of those places where fat can accumulate, sometimes giving rise to the dreaded “double chin” or a less defined jawline. No matter how much you diet or exercise, this stubborn fat can stay put, affecting your self-confidence and overall appearance.
What is Neck Liposuction?
Liposuction for the neck is a precise surgical technique aimed at removing excess fat from the neck area. It can help to redefine the jawline and reduce the appearance of a double chin. The procedure is carried out by making discreet incisions through which a slim tube, known as a cannula, is inserted. This cannula is then used to break up and suction out the undesired fat cells, resulting in a more sculpted neck profile.
Why Consider Micro Liposuction for the Neck?
If the thought of a full liposuction procedure seems daunting, micro liposuction could be the answer. As a more refined and less invasive method, micro liposuction targets smaller areas with increased precision. This technique is perfect for the delicate neck region, ensuring minimal scarring and a faster recovery time. It’s particularly suited for those who only need a slight correction to achieve their desired look.
Neck Lift: A Comprehensive Solution for a Rejuvenated Neckline
The neck is often referred to as the “second face” because it can tell as much about a person’s age as their facial features. With age, environmental factors, and sometimes genetics, the neck area can begin to exhibit sagging skin, loose muscles, and excess fat. These changes can make someone appear older than they truly are and might not reflect their inner vitality and spirit.
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, technically termed a cervicoplasty or platysmaplasty, is a surgical intervention that addresses multiple issues in the neck region. Unlike procedures that only target fat, a neck lift goes beyond.
- Muscle Tightening: The procedure involves addressing muscle laxity by tightening the platysma muscle which often loosens with age, leading to vertical banding and a less defined neckline.
- Fat Removal: During the procedure, micro liposuction may be employed to extract excess fat, particularly if it’s concentrated in areas like the jowls or underneath the chin.
- Skin Redraping: After addressing the muscles and fat, the skin is carefully redraped to ensure a smooth appearance, devoid of sags or wrinkles. Excess skin is expertly trimmed to ensure a natural result.

How is the Procedure Carried Out?
Surgeons often make discreet incisions behind the ears and/or underneath the chin to minimise visible scarring. Through these incisions, they can then access the underlying structures of the neck.

Benefits of a Neck Lift:
- Achieve a more defined, youthful neckline.
- Eliminate the appearance of a “turkey neck” or “double chin“.
- Enhance the overall silhouette, making one appear more slender.
- Boost self-confidence and self-image by aligning one’s outer appearance with their inner self.
In essence, a neck lift is more than just a cosmetic procedure; it’s an opportunity to turn back the clock, to rejuvenate, and to present the world with a version of yourself that feels most authentic. If you’ve been considering enhancing your neckline, a neck lift could be the comprehensive solution you’ve been seeking.
Exploring the Spectrum: Lower Facelift and Jowl Lift
We believe in offering comprehensive solutions tailored to individual needs. While the allure of a defined neck and jawline can be addressed with micro liposuction, we recognise that some patients seek more extensive enhancements to combat signs of ageing and attain a youthful contour. This often brings the lower facelift and jowl lift into focus.
Understanding the Lower Facelift:
A lower facelift is a procedure that zeroes in on the bottom third of the face. Here’s what it addresses:
- Sagging Skin: With age, skin elasticity diminishes, leading to drooping skin around the jawline and neck. A lower facelift can beautifully reverse this.
- Marionette Lines: These are the lines that extend from the corners of the mouth down to the chin. A lower facelift can smooth these out for a more youthful expression.
The Jowl Lift – Reclaiming the Jawline:
Jowls, or the sagging skin at the jawline, can be a telltale sign of ageing. A jowl lift specifically targets this area, resulting in:
- Enhanced Definition: By lifting and tightening the jowls, the procedure helps restore the natural contour of the jawline.
- Youthful Appearance: A jowl lift can take years off your face, giving you a fresher look.
Why Consider These Procedures?
While liposuction effectively reduces excess fat and sculpts the jawline, a lift procedure addresses sagging skin and muscles. For many, a combination of these treatments offers the best of both worlds: removing stubborn fat deposits and creating a taut, smooth skin surface.

Minimally Invasive Advanced Treatment Options at Centre for Surgery
Modern advancements in cosmetic treatments have unlocked doors to less invasive procedures with reduced recovery times. For those looking to tackle fat accumulation in the neck area, but aren’t keen on undergoing full-blown surgery, we offer leading-edge, minimally invasive options that are both effective and efficient.
1. Morpheus8 – RF Microneedling:
Morpheus8 stands out as a beacon for those wary of surgical interventions.
- What It Does: Targeting those stubborn fat pockets, especially in the neck region, Morpheus8 uses fractional RF technology. The procedure involves micropins that heat up and dissolve fat cells. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these cells.
- Safety & Recovery: While every procedure has its risks, Morpheus8 is FDA-approved, suggesting a strong safety profile. Downtime? Minimal. This means you can get back to your routine quicker than most other treatments.
- Results & Recommendations: Though the effects might not mirror the dramatic results of a neck lift or liposuction, they are significant. Generally, it takes about 3 to 4 months to see noticeable results. To get the best out of Morpheus8, we advise two to three sessions.
2. FaceTite – Precision in Minimally Invasive Contouring:
For those looking for a middle ground between non-surgical and surgical treatments, FaceTite presents an ideal solution.
- What It Does: Leveraging Radiofrequency (RF) technology, FaceTite focuses on breaking down excess fat. But it doesn’t stop there. It tightens the skin as well, providing a dual benefit.
- Precision Sculpting: When compared to traditional liposuction, both FaceTite and micro liposuction stand out for their precision. The procedures allow for more accurate sculpting, especially in intricate areas like the neck.
At Centre for Surgery, we prioritise offering solutions that align with your comfort, expectations, and aesthetic goals. Both Morpheus8 and FaceTite have been welcomed by many of our patients as less invasive pathways to achieving a refined appearance.
