chin liposuction in NYC

Yes. Dr. Pearlman often combines chin and neck liposuction with complementary procedures to achieve a seamless transformation, accounting for all of a patient’s goals simultaneously. For those looking to address skin laxity (sagging) and/or vertical banding along the neck, we may recommend pairing liposuction with a neck lift.

In some cases, we may recommend MyEllevate as a less invasive alternative to a neck lift. This procedure does not remove skin, so Dr. Pearlman recommends MyEllevate for patients with mild to moderate laxity, helping them set realistic expectations.

While liposuction removes fat along the jawline, patients seeking a more angular facial structure may also undergo chin implant surgery. Dr. Pearlman may recommend a chin implant for individuals looking to address a “weak” chin and balance their overall facial proportions. By enhancing chin projection, Dr. Pearlman accentuates the slimmer, more defined contours created through liposuction, delivering natural-looking results.

During your consultation for chin or neck liposuction, Dr. Pearlman carefully evaluates your facial anatomy and discusses your vision. Drawing from decades of expertise, he curates your personalized plan to ensure surgical outcomes align with your goals.

While the primary objective of neck and chin liposuction is to remove fat, Dr. Pearlman’s advanced approach also reshapes your profile. Younger patients with ample skin elasticity may notice that their skin appears firmer and smoother as a result of their skin adapting to their features’ refined contours.

However, Dr. Pearlman does not recommend neck or chin liposuction in NYC as a solution for moderate to severe skin laxity. Liposuction does not remove excess skin, and its tightening effects largely depend on your age, genetics, and overall skin quality. If skin laxity is your primary concern, a neck lift or facelift may be more suitable. If you’d like to address excess fat and skin along the jawline, Dr. Pearlman may also combine procedures.

While neck liposuction’s primary goal is to remove excess fat, a neck lift’s main objective is to remove excess skin. That being said, liposuction can only remove subcutaneous fat or excess adipose tissue located directly beneath the skin. If neck fat is located deeper beneath your skin’s surface, around the platysma muscles in the neck, even the most advanced forms of liposuction are not effective.

Addressing deeper fat deposits around the chin and neck requires manual removal through a platysmaplasty neck lift. This advanced procedure consists of separating the platysma bands along the neck and removing subplatysmal fat before resuspending the platysma muscles. This comprehensive approach simultaneously tightens the skin and muscles in the neck while removing fat to refine the jawline.

Neither procedure is universally more effective than the other, but rather more suitable for different situations. The only way to determine whether your submental fat—fat located in the chin and neck—is subcutaneous or subplastysmal is through a thorough consultation. As a dual board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed thousands of successful procedures, Dr. Pearlman has mastered the anatomy of the face and neck. After evaluating your facial anatomy, he will recommend the most effective procedure for impactful, lasting results.

Our patients notice improvements in their neck and jawline contours within just 5 to 7 days, once the majority of swelling has subsided. However, it’s important to remember that healing is a gradual process. Even after any swelling and bruising have dissipated, tissue continues to heal for the following months. You can expect to see your full results between 3 and 6 months after liposuction, once your skin has fully contracted and settled around its new contours.

Liposuction permanently removes fat. However, it does not prevent new fat cells from forming. Maintaining a stable weight through diet and exercise is crucial to extending the duration of your results from neck or chin liposuction in NYC. While the natural aging process continues, Dr. Pearlman’s meticulous approach ensures that your results age gracefully, making your procedure a valuable investment in your long-term confidence.

The cost of neck and chin liposuction in NYC ranges from $4,000 to $9,000. The exact cost of your procedure depends on the surgeon you choose and the technical complexity required to achieve your goals. As an extremely delicate area, your neck requires precise care, the techniques of which take years to master.

Beyond the time your surgeon spends performing the procedure, the cost also accounts for anesthesia, facility fees, and follow-up care, which play a crucial role in your long-term outcomes. Prices also vary by provider, reflecting the years they’ve invested in mastering their craft to ensure optimal outcomes. As a dual board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon with decades of experience, Dr. Pearlman’s expertise is unparalleled.

When you choose Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, you choose proven skill, investing in your safety and long-term satisfaction.

While liposuction requires incisions, Dr. Pearlman creates the smallest openings possible in strategically hidden places. This makes scars virtually invisible, leaving faint lines—if any—that gradually fade.

Some people are more prone to scarring than others. If you have a history of keloids or raised scars, Dr. Pearlman may recommend advanced therapies such as PRF or Kenalog injections, microneedling, and laser skin rejuvenation to interrupt scar formation. Throughout your recovery, we closely monitor your progress to support seamless healing. Drawing from decades of experience as a dual board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Pearlman anticipates and manages scarring to deliver elegant results with no obvious trace of surgery.
