Neck Liposuction in San Diego, CA

Excess fullness beneath the chin can soften the jawline, create the appearance of a “double chin,” and make the neck look heavier than it is. Neck liposuction provides a precise and reliable solution for patients in San Diego seeking a more defined profile. At Dr. Mark Mofid’s practice, this procedure is performed with an emphasis on natural-looking contour, discreet incision placement, and long-term stability.

What Is Neck (Submental) Liposuction?

Neck liposuction removes excess fat beneath the chin and along the upper neck to sharpen the jawline and restore a more sculpted profile. This targeted approach is ideal for treating stubborn submental fat—fat that does not respond to diet or exercise—while preserving natural anatomy. The result is a smoother neck silhouette and a cleaner transition from chin to neck.

Neck Contouring Options in San Diego

Neck contouring is not one-size-fits-all. Dr. Mofid evaluates each patient’s anatomy to determine the most effective combination of techniques:

Neck Liposuction (Submental Liposuction)

Small access points beneath the chin or behind the ears allow Dr. Mofid to remove excess fat with a fine cannula. This technique refines the neck and jawline with minimal scarring and predictable results.

Chin and Jawline Refinement

For patients with weaker chin projection, subtle contouring along the mandibular border—or combining neck liposuction with a chin implant—can dramatically enhance definition.

Complementary Procedures

When lax skin, vertical banding, or significant neck aging is present, Dr. Mofid may recommend:

• Neck lift / platysmaplasty for tightening muscles and skin
• Facelift when jawline laxity extends to the lower face
• Non-surgical fat reduction or skin tightening for patients not ready for surgery

These options ensure patients receive a fully personalized plan—not just a single procedure.

Benefits of Neck Liposuction

Neck liposuction offers several advantages for patients seeking a sharper, more balanced profile:

• Reduces fullness under the chin for a slimmer neck
• Improves jawline definition
• Uses very small, discreet incisions
• Produces long-lasting results with stable weight
• Typically involves a short recovery

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates for neck liposuction include individuals who:

• Have localized fat beneath the chin or along the upper neck
• Maintain good skin elasticity
• Are in overall good health
• Do not smoke or can pause nicotine use before surgery
• Want a more defined jawline without a full facelift
• Have realistic expectations about results and recovery

Patients with significant skin looseness or prominent platysmal banding may benefit more from a neck lift. Dr. Mofid will help you identify if this treatment is an excellent fit for your case.

Consultation, Technique, and Recovery

A private consultation with Dr. Mofid includes a thorough assessment of facial structure, skin quality, and neck anatomy. He develops a customized plan that may involve neck liposuction alone or in combination with other contouring procedures to achieve the most balanced outcome.

Neck liposuction is typically performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s needs. Small incisions are made under the chin or behind the ears, and a fine cannula is used to selectively remove fat and sculpt the neck.

After surgery, most patients experience swelling and mild bruising for the first week. A compression garment is usually recommended to support the new contour and reduce swelling. Most patients return to light activities within a few days and resume exercise gradually as instructed.

What to Expect After Neck Liposuction

Swelling decreases noticeably during the first two weeks, although subtle refinements continue over several months. Dr. Mofid monitors progress closely throughout the recovery process to ensure results are developing as planned. Patients can expect a smoother neckline, improved contour beneath the chin, and a more refined jawline.

When Will I See Final Results?

Early improvement is visible within one to two weeks, but final results typically appear between eight and twelve weeks as swelling resolves and the neck settles into its new contour. With a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, results are long-lasting.
