Liposuction for the Neck?

Many of you have heard of liposuction for areas of the body that are stubborn to weight loss measures and exercise. Women and men often have liposuction performed on their abdomens, hips, thighs, and buttocks. But how many of you know that liposuction can now be performed in the neck region?

As we age, certain areas of our body accumulate fat that is very difficult to lose in spite of a healthy diet and vigorous exercise. Fat deposits in the neck can make you appear much older than you actually are. Liposuction of the neck can give that area of your face and neck a more contoured look, enhance your facial features and even improve your profile. Dr. Azizzadeh utilizes a unique liposuction cannula that produces additional tightening to the area. When Dr. Azizzadeh performs neck liposuction on his patients, they are more than satisfied and thrilled with their new look.

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Azizzadeh then marks the areas of the neck region where he is to remove fat. Dr. Azizzadeh makes a tiny incision in the skin, usually just under the chin or behind the ear lobes. A thin tube is inserted into the fatty area, and the tube (cannula) is used to break up the fat and sculpt the area to your desired look. A high pressure vacuum removes the excess fat and leaves the skin, muscles and nerves intact.

If you feel you could benefit from liposuction of the neck and you live in the Beverly Hills area, please contact the office of Dr. Babak Azizzadeh today to schedule your initial consultation.
