Dr. Rao utilizes a cannula to remove excess fat during neck liposuction, creating minimal incisions beneath the chin. In some cases, he may employ the “superwet” tumescent technique, which involves injecting a numbing solution combined with another substance into the treatment area to minimize bleeding. The incisions are then carefully sutured together with small stitches. While neck liposuction can be performed as a standalone procedure, many patients choose to combine it with other treatments such as skin tightening to achieve their desired outcome.   Neck liposuction surgery at Rao Plastic Surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure and can be completed in a relatively short timeframe. Some patients may need to wear compression garments after surgery to help control swelling. Downtime can vary, especially if other surgeries were performed in conjunction with neck liposuction. Optimal results can be seen within the first few months after the surgery, and patients may be advised to avoid putting pressure on the treatment area for at least the first few days. Due to the small incision size, scarring is usually minimal and easily concealed.
