Do you have excess fat in your neck and along the jaw line?

Liposuction of the face removes fatty deposits in the neck and along the jaw line. These deposits are often responsible for the occurrence of a double chin in patients as young as their late 20's. The surgery permanently and effectively removes the excess fat under the chin and is often combined with a tightening of the neck muscles to provide long-term improvement in the neckline. The procedure is typically done under mild sedation or local anesthesia in an outpatient surgery setting.
