Neck Liposuction
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Boulder, CO
Neck liposuction is a form of liposuction that sculpts a slimmer, more defined neck and jawline. (1)
Many people struggle with stubborn fat under the chin, often referred to as a “double chin,” which can make the face appear heavier or less youthful. Even with regular exercise and a healthy diet, many patients find it difficult to eliminate this fat. Neck liposuction precisely targets this problem area, removing excess fat and restoring sharper contours.
Dr. Nathan Roesner at Aura Advanced Skin Care & Plastic Surgery is board-certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He offers advanced solutions for facial refinement and rejuvenation, including neck liposuction.

About Neck Liposuction
Liposuction, in general, is one of the most common cosmetic treatments surgeons perform worldwide. (2) This procedure creates a smoother transition between the chin and neck while restoring a youthful definition to the jawline. Neck liposuction can also enhance facial balance, improve side profile, and help patients achieve a more sculpted appearance.
During the procedure, Dr. Roesner carefully inserts a small cannula through discreet incisions in the chin or behind the ears. He gently removes unwanted fat cells with suction while maintaining the natural harmony of your facial structure. This highly precise and effective technique allows for refined contours with minimal scarring and downtime.
Patients often choose neck liposuction because diet and exercise alone cannot address this fat distribution. This procedure is ideal for creating lasting change and improving self-confidence through subtle yet noticeable facial refinement.
VASER Liposuction
At Aura Advanced Skin Care & Plastic Surgery, Dr. Roesner utilizes VASER liposuction, an advanced form of liposuction technology that uses ultrasound energy to liquefy fat before removal. (3) This technique allows for smoother extraction, minimizes tissue trauma, and helps tighten the surrounding skin.
VASER liposuction is effective for delicate areas like the neck because it promotes precise contouring. The ultrasonic waves selectively target fat cells, leaving surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue intact. Patients experience less bruising, faster healing, and improved overall results than with traditional methods. Patients who undergo VASER liposuction for neck contouring often enjoy a noticeably refined jawline, improved definition, and a smoother, more youthful neck appearance.
Benefits
Patients who undergo neck liposuction with Dr. Roesner frequently experience multiple aesthetic and confidence-boosting benefits, including:
- Improved jawline and neck definition
- Reduction or elimination of a double chin
- Enhanced balance between facial features
- A more youthful and sculpted profile
- Long-lasting fat reduction results
- Small, discreet incisions with minimal scarring
- Boosted self-confidence and improved self-image
Ideal Candidates
Neck liposuction best suits individuals seeking to reduce unwanted fat beneath the chin and along the jawline. Ideal candidates typically include those who:
- Have good skin elasticity and tone
- Struggle with persistent fat under the chin or along the neck
- Desire improved definition around the jawline and lower face
- Are in good general health and maintain realistic expectations
- Are non-smokers or willing to stop nicotine use
Dr. Roesner will determine your eligibility during your consultation by evaluating your anatomy, skin condition, and overall goals.
Personal Consultation
Your neck liposuction path begins with a comprehensive personal consultation at Aura Advanced Skin Care & Plastic Surgery. During this visit, Dr. Roesner will perform a detailed examination of your neck and jawline, assessing factors such as fat distribution, skin elasticity, and facial proportions. He will also review your medical history and discuss your concerns, goals, and expectations to create a personalized treatment plan that is both safe and effective.
Dr. Roesner takes a personalized approach to every procedure. He will outline the specific techniques he recommends, explain what you can expect during recovery, and answer any questions you may have about the process. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss whether complementary procedures like a facelift or neck lift may enhance your overall results.
To schedule your consultation with Dr. Roesner and his team, please contact Aura Advanced Skin Care & Plastic Surgery online or call (303) 440-7546.
Preparation
Dr. Roesner and his staff will provide detailed preoperative instructions to help you prepare for your neck liposuction procedure. These guidelines vary for each patient’s health, lifestyle, and procedure specifics, but they typically include the following steps:
- Avoid blood-thinning medications, supplements, and alcohol for at least one week before surgery
- Stop nicotine use several weeks before your procedure to support optimal healing
- Arrange for transportation to and from the surgical center
- Plan for a few days of rest and recovery at home following your procedure
Following these instructions closely will help ensure your safety and support the best possible results. The team at Aura will remain available to answer any questions or concerns.
Recovery
You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tightness after your procedure, but these effects generally resolve within a few days to a week. Dr. Roesner will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to guide your healing, including how to care for the incision sites and when to resume regular activities.
We generally recommend wearing a supportive compression garment for the first week to promote optimal contouring and minimize swelling. Most patients return to light work or social activities within several days, although they must avoid more strenuous activities for approximately two weeks. Dr. Roesner and his team will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and ensure your results progress beautifully. Patients often report seeing noticeable improvements within the first few weeks, with full results appearing as swelling subsides.
Results
After completing healing, patients enjoy a slimmer, more sculpted neck and jawline that complements their overall facial proportions. Removing stubborn fat under the chin can make the entire face appear more youthful and balanced. Because liposuction permanently removes fat cells, your results will last as long as you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Roesner’s artistic approach ensures that your outcome looks completely natural and harmonizes with your existing features. Many patients experience renewed confidence and improved self-image after their neck liposuction. The transformation is subtle yet powerful, creating a refined and rejuvenated profile that enhances your best features.
Corresponding Procedures
To achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation, some patients combine their neck liposuction with additional treatments, such as:
Facelift
A facelift complements neck liposuction by tightening underlying muscles and lifting sagging facial tissues. Together, these procedures create smoother contours across the face and neck for a more youthful, cohesive result.
Neck Lift
A neck lift targets loose or sagging skin that liposuction alone cannot address. Combining both treatments can improve both skin tightness and fat reduction, producing dramatic yet natural-looking results.
Liposuction of Other Areas
The neck is far from the only area liposuction can address. This trusted technique can reduce stubborn fat from various other body parts, including the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, for example.
Dr. Roesner will discuss which combinations best suit your anatomy and goals during your consultation to fully rejuvenate your appearance.

FAQ
Is neck liposuction painful?
We keep patients comfortable with local anesthesia and sedation during the procedure. They may experience mild soreness or tightness afterward, but medications help manage this, and it typically resolves quickly.
Will I have scars after neck liposuction?
Dr. Roesner places incisions in discreet, natural creases beneath the chin or behind the ears. Once healed, these scars are typically very difficult to see.
How long do results from neck liposuction last?
The fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate, so your results can last indefinitely if you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.
Can neck liposuction tighten my skin?
While liposuction removes fat, it does not directly tighten skin. However, VASER liposuction technology can stimulate some skin contraction. If you have significant skin laxity, we may recommend including a neck lift for optimal results.
When can I return to normal activities after neck liposuction?
Most patients return to work within three to five days. They can usually resume light exercise within a week, but they should postpone strenuous activities for two to three weeks.
Can Dr. Roesner perform neck liposuction with other facial surgeries?
Yes. Many patients choose to combine neck liposuction with facelift, chin augmentation, or skin tightening treatments for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Who performs neck liposuction?
Dr. Nathan Rosener, a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in body contouring and facial surgery, performs all surgical procedures at Aura Advanced Skin Care & Plastic Surgery.
