Liposuction of the neck is for patients with excess fat under the chin to produce a more sculpted, angular and youthful neck and jaw line. The best patients for this procedure have good skin tone. Neck liposuction does not tighten the skin, however in some patients, there may be some adhesion between the skin and underlying neck following the procedure, which can improve loose skin.

In most patients over 50 with loose skin - a facelift to tighten skin and underlying muscle may be a more appropriate procedure. Other procedures to enhance neck liposuction may include sub-mentoplasty tightening of the muscle and chin augmentation to improve the profile.

Liposuction is performed under local tumescent anesthesia with deep sedation. One tiny incision is made under the chin and behind each earlobe. Fat is removed with small suction cannulas. A soft chin supporting garment is worn for 5 days following the procedure.
Liposuction is a common, and most popular procedure that allows the plastic surgeon to remove undesirable, subcutaneous fat through a small cannula as a result you will have a smoother and slimmer body contour.
Since its introduction in France in the early 1980's, there have been many refinements to the technique, including the use of thin cannulas with low pressure vacuum, tumescent fluid, and the thinner, lighter post-operative garments.
These modifications have made the procedure safe, reliable and comfortable
For the best results, you should be of relatively normal weight with extra fat localized in specific areas such as hips, buttocks and abdomen. Lipoplasty is also effective in removing fat deposits from the back, legs, arms, face and neck.
 

Lipoplasty is neither a substitute for proper diet and exercise nor a method of overall weight loss. It cannot eliminate cellulite or correct loose, hanging skin. In fact, the best results from lipoplasty are achieved when you are healthy, elastic skin with the capacity to shrink evenly after surgery. If your skin has lost much of its elasticity, you may need a skin tightening procedure such as a tummy tuck, thigh lift, buttock lift or arm lift.

Technique:
We use local anesthesia (usually with sedation) combined with the technique of anesthesia acupuncture to cause a safe and comfortable liposuction. You can walk right after the liposuction and go back home after one hour of relaxation. Thanks to this technique, We have performed hundreds of cases of liposuction every months with with a very successful and very safe result.
We use Ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty, energy from sound waves to liquefy the fat before it is removed.
 

·         Only tiny incision not more than 0.5 cm is needed to reach all the areas to be treated. This incision is selected carefully to hide invisibly in the lowest site of your lower abdomen.

·         The tumescent technique is used to expand the fat tissues with fluid designed to reduce blood loss and increase body-contouring precision.

·         The fat tissues are removed by using the small canulas, attaching to low vacuum and passing into the fatty areas through a tiny incision. This technique reduces the risk of rippling and dimpling. It also results in less post-operative swelling and discomfort.

·         The procedure may take an hour or more depending upon the extent of the area being treated.

Ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty, for example, uses energy from sound waves to liquefy the fat before it is removed.

Following surgery, you may wear snug dressing or garment, perhaps for several weeks, to promote skin shrinkage and to minimize swelling and bruising as you gradually resume normal activities.
Recovery after liposuction
• The day after surgery you should be up and walking around. Increase your activities daily .
• The first week you will experience some swelling, special garments will be provided to apply pressure following surgery. This minimizes swelling and provides support while healing.
• You may experience bruising, numbness or burning sensation in the treated area. These symptoms are almost always temporary.
Abdominoplasty
Commonly known as a “tummy tuck”, the abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure intended to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen. It also tightens the abdominal muscles. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen and but does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem, can be from hip to hip.
 

* Please note the prices charged for surgeries represented in the documentations of the links above are representative of what an American doctor would normally charge. Of course, our fees are lower but our doctors are more experienced because more patients come to us due to the affordable prices. Thus, the doctors work on more cases (especially oriental patients and many Caucasians).
