As we age, fat accumulates in places such as the neck. Very few things make a person feel self-conscious in a photograph like a double chin. Neck Liposuction reduces the fat in the neck area and the submental area (under the chin). Fat is suctioned out of the area, leaving it slimmer, less bulky, and younger-looking.
Fat accumulations around the neck can be impossible to remove with weight management. However, liposuction can remove this fat through very small incisions that will leave nearly invisible scars.
After sedating you so you feel nothing during the procedure, your surgeon will make several small incisions, hidden either in the hairline or under the chin. These incisions allow the surgeon to insert the tubes they will use to suction out the fat in the area.
Since you sleep through the surgery, you will not feel anything during the process. After you wake up, your doctor will provide you with appropriate pain medications to manage your discomfort.
Neck liposuction can also be performed under local anesthesia, should you desire to avoid sedation or general anesthesia.
You will return home the same day as your surgery. Because of the anesthetic, you will need someone to drive you home. You will have prescription pain medication for up to 72 hours, at which point your pain should be manageable with over-the-counter medications.
After the procedure, your neck area will look bruised and swollen. For most people, the bruising and swelling subsides within about a week, and they can return to work and other activities. People should avoid strenuous activities for a few more weeks, especially if they still feel sore.
Since liposuction does not tighten skin, the best candidates are people in their 20’s to 40’s who do not have much loose skin in the area.
You can expect to see a more defined and contoured neck and jawline.

His staff was always receptive to send information and answer any of my concerns. I could not be more pleased with my surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Moskowitz!!
Sharing my recent experience with Dr. Bruce Moskowitz for anyone who is in search of an Ocular Plastic Surgeon. I am relatively young and this was all new to me, and very scary. I was referred to Dr. Moskowitz by another doctor and I am forever grateful. Not only is his work incredible, meticulous, with amazing results, but he takes the time to explain, make you feel comfortable, and follow up consistently. I still can't believe what he was able to do for me, how he put me back together again. The office is clean and comfortable (with wonderful artwork!) and the office staff is all kind, smart and caring. You never feel like you are just patient with no name. Almost feels like a family-run business (a very high-end business.
Dr.Mashkevich is the best cosmetic surgeon in New York City! I was looking for a surgeon with years of experience in facelift and neck lifts. I did shop around went to three other surgeons in New York and I didn’t feel confident enough after my consultations. Until I met Dr.Mashkevich! He is extremely patient and if I could I would give him a ten-star review! Dr. Mashkevich and his team made me comfortable and confident with my decision from the beginning to the end of my journey. This decision was one of the best decisions of my life.
Don’t have enough positive words to describe my experience with Dr. Mashkevich and his team! The entire staff is absolutely amazing! Dr. Mashkevich was so calm, patient, and knowledgeable! I felt so comfortable moving forward with my decision. It took me a very long time to make this decision and proceed with my facial surgery. I am beyond thrilled and my results are even better than I ever could’ve imagined! I would highly, highly recommend Dr.Mashkevich to anyone considering facial plastic surgery!!!
My rhinoplasty experience with Dr. Mashkevich has been excellent! He is a superb surgeon who takes wonderful care of his patients. From my initial consultation all the way through surgery and postoperative follow-ups, I have felt comfortable and safe in his hands. Dr. Mashkevich understood exactly what I was looking for and delivered amazing results. His staff is also very pleasant and professional. I am so happy with my results and would greatly recommend Dr. Mashkevich.
Dr. Mashkevich has exceeded my expectations. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and extremely attentive pre and post-operation. I went to several consultations with other surgeons but felt most comfortable with Dr. Mashkevich’s expertise and confidence. I was extremely nervous about the outcome and the recovery - both of which I’m very pleased with. If you’re looking for a natural look then this is the doctor for you. Highly recommend him!!
I recently underwent face, neck, and lip lift, as well as a partial rhinoplasty revision, performed by Dr. Mashkevich. I don't know where to begin. Dr. Mashkevich is not only a surgeon but an artist, with the most incredible surgical eye and hands. I had several consultations with plastic surgeons in Manhattan, and from the moment I met Dr. Mashkevich, there was no question that he would be the one to perform my surgery. From the consultation to post-op appointments, he has been the kindest, most caring, and sincere doctor that I could have hoped for. I could not be happier with my decision. I would recommend Dr. Mashkevich to anyone who is looking for not only incredible results but a smooth and comfortable overall surgical experience. Truly the best!!!
Saying Dr.Bruce Moskowitz is an expert and master in his field is an understatement. He truly knows his stuff! I am so thankful and grateful I chose Dr.Moskowitz to do my eyelid surgery. For years I went to so many Oculoplastic Surgeons and was so happy to come across Dr.Moskowitz. He is brilliant, knowledgeable, honest, and most importantly all about perfection. I’m so thankful every day, he literally changed my life!
Dr. Moskowitz is by far, one of the best Dr's I have ever met. He is kind, patient, and has a great sense of humor. He explains everything that he is going to and always made sure I felt comfortable. He is also a perfectionist, which made me feel even more confident in his abilities as a plastic surgeon
There is no one else I would let touch my face besides Dr. Moskowitz. He does such an incredible job and walks you through every part of the procedure and the results are always perfect. I cannot recommend him enough!
In February 2021, I decided to undergo eyes surgery (brow lift and lower blepharoplasty surgery). My friend, who is also a happy patient of Dr. Bruce Moskowitz, recommended him to me and today I know that it was the best choice I could have made. A real expert in his field. Both during the consultation and during the surgery, I felt great under the care of Dr. Moskowitz and his fantastic team. I would also like to thank all the ladies at the reception who are very nice and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend dr. Bruce Moskowitz and his great team.
