Liposuction of the neck is a specialty liposuction procedure and is done with the use of micro cannulas. This is the smaller brother of the standard stainless steel cannulas used in bigger parts of the body. The micro cannulas give the cosmetic surgeon enough maneuverability to gently and most importantly precisely sculpt the parts of the neck with excess fat. Liposuction of the neck is just one of the many possible cosmetic surgical procedures being done today after the liposuction treatment was first applied as a purely cosmetic treatment by a French doctor named Dr. Illouz in 1978. Liposuction was discovered by a gynecologist based in Rome, Italy, Dr. Giorgio Fischer four years before.
Liposuction of the neck is highly recommended to resolve the issue of excess fat found in the neck, since it is very hard to remove the excess fat found in this area through regular exercise and dieting. When trying to find a cosmetic surgeon to perform liposuction of the neck for you. Try to look for a cosmetic surgeon who has performed two or more similar neck liposuctions and find out more about the results of the operations by either asking the cosmetic surgeon directly and or requesting for the before and after pictures of the neck liposuctions performed by the prospective cosmetic surgeon.
The cost of liposuction of the neck can be between $2500 to $5000 USD, depending on the cosmetic surgeon performing the operation, his experience, reputation, even location of the clinic and of course the type of liposuction method to be used for your operation. The cost and method is relative to the novelty of the tools and or techniques to be utilized. The cost can also be based partly on the length of recovery time and the amount of pain and post operation down time needed for a full recovery. The less pain and the less time for recovery the more expensive the cost of the liposuction of the neck is going to be.
Using traditional methods of liposuction of the neck it is expected that a recovery from the operation itself will take two to three weeks, after this period, the patient can safely discontinue the neck brace and if tumescent liposuction is utilized there will be no more fluid draining from the open incisions and infection is a minute possibility. Full recovery will take longer and may last from three to six months depending on the particular liposuction technique used.
