Is Deep Neck Contouring Painful?

Deep neck contouring involves minimal discomfort, especially with an experienced facial plastic surgeon. During the procedure, general or local anesthesia with sedation is used to keep you comfortable. After surgery, you might experience mild soreness, tightness, and swelling, which are manageable with prescribed pain relief and cold compresses. Most patients notice that discomfort significantly decreases within a few days, with any remaining tightness or swelling gradually easing over the following weeks.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

How Long Until I See Results?

However, the full results typically take a few months to settle in as your neck contours refine and any residual swelling fades. You’ll see the final, defined outcome by three to six months post-surgery.

Can I Combine Deep Neck Contouring With Other Procedures?

Many patients choose to pair it with a facelift , chin augmentation , or liposuction to define the jawline further and achieve a more balanced, youthful profile. Combining treatments can streamline recovery time and create a more harmonious look. During a consultation, your facial surgeon will discuss your aesthetic goals and recommend a tailored approach to meet your needs.

What is Deep Neck Contouring?

Deep neck contouring is a cosmetic procedure that sculpts the neck by removing excess fat and tightening the skin. It enhances the jawline, reduces a double chin, and creates a more youthful, defined profile. This procedure can involve liposuction and skin-tightening techniques, which may be non-invasive or minimally invasive solutions for sagging skin and neck bands.

What Are the Benefits of Deep Neck Contouring?

Deep neck contouring offers a more defined jawline, a slimmer neck profile, and a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance. Removing excess fat and tightening loose skin effectively addresses sagging, double chins, and neck bands.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Deep Neck Contouring?

For deep neck contouring, individuals must be in good health and have noticeable sagging or excess fat around the neck and jawline that they wish to improve. They must also have good skin elasticity for effective skin tightening. Those seeking a refined, youthful neck profile without extensive surgery may benefit most from this treatment.

Take the plunge

What’s the First Step?

The first step in getting deep neck contouring is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Brandon or Dr. Gangnes at Facial Aesthetic Concepts. One of the surgeons will evaluate your neck and chin area, discuss your goals for improving definition, and address any concerns you may have. He will also explain his surgical approach, including the specific technique used to sculpt the neck and jawline, whether through liposuction, tightening skin, or reshaping the muscles.

Your personal facial surgeon will also review your medical history to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure and provide a detailed understanding of the recovery process, helping you feel confident and well-informed before proceeding.

What to Expect on the Day of Deep Neck Contouring Surgery

On the day of your deep neck contouring procedure, either Dr. Gangnes or Dr. Brandon will begin by making small, discreet incisions in areas like under the chin or around the ear to minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, your surgeon will carefully target the muscles and fat in the neck area. He will tighten the skin and sculpt the underlying tissues using precise and specific techniques to create a more defined, youthful-looking neck contour.

Deep Neck Contouring Recovery

For the first few days, expect some initial swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort in the treated areas. However, most patients are able to return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days. Any residual swelling will gradually subside over the course of a few weeks, and the full results will become apparent in about 3 to 6 months.
