A well-defined neckline can enhance your overall appearance,
creating a more sculpted and youthful look.
Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Karter specializes in precision neck liposuction for Wethersfield, Connecticut-area patients seeking a minimally invasive solution for improved neck definition.
Neck liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess “surface fat” from the chin and along the jawline, creating a slimmer, beautiful neckline. It’s ideal for people who struggle with isolated neck fullness vs pronounced neck laxity and neck bands. For the right candidates, the procedure carries less downtime than a more invasive deep plane neck lift.
Dr. Karter is fellowship-trained, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon known for his exceptional results and patient-first philosophy. Learn what sets him apart below:
At Karter Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery, neck liposuction is a quick, in-office procedure with low downtime. We numb the neck area using an injection similar to what is used at the dentist. Dr. Karter then makes a small incision beneath the chin and expertly uses a micro-liposuction cannula to gently remove excess fat.
We perform syringe liposuction in the office, meaning we manually create the suction needed to remove the fat using a special syringe. This technique gives Dr. Karter the best precision and control to sculpt your ideal neck contours. After the procedure, a light dressing is applied for the day.
From your first conversation with our team to your one-on-one time with Dr. Karter, we provide a concierge-level experience tailored to your needs.
Start with a free one-on-one call with Erin, our patient care coordinator. She’ll listen to your concerns, discuss treatment options, and go over important details like technique, recovery, and cost considerations. If we feel like the right fit for you, she will schedule your in-person consultation with Dr. Karter.
During your visit, Dr. Karter will examine your facial anatomy and explore your surgical options in-depth. He will walk you through the details of a deep plane facelift, discuss what to expect after surgery, and create a customized plan based on your goals.
When you are ready to move forward, we will coordinate every detail with the surgical center and anesthesia team. We recommend bringing your calendar to your appointment so you can choose your ideal date. A fully refundable 20% deposit is all that is needed to secure your surgery.
We make sure that you are 100% prepared for your procedure. You will receive a comprehensive recovery kit with everything you need for postoperative care, have presurgical photos taken, and review all necessary consent forms and instructions.
We see patients several times throughout their recovery to ensure optimal healing and results. As part of our commitment to exceptional postsurgical care, we also provide laser resurfacing treatments to refine incision lines and support smoother scar healing.
Dr. Karter is personally invested in your experience and results. As part of his commitment to your comfort and well-being, he provides you with his personal cell phone number so you always have a direct line to your surgeon when you need it.
Neck liposuction patients typically enjoy an easy recovery compared to more invasive procedures:
Neck liposuction offers noticeable improvements within the first few weeks, with full results typically visible over the following months as swelling diminishes.
While neck liposuction can be performed as a stand-alone procedure, some patients benefit by combining complementary procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation.
The cost of neck liposuction in Connecticut varies depending on the extent of sculpting required and your aesthetic goals. Once we understand your concerns and goals better, we can give you an initial personalized quote during your free phone consultation. We also accept financing through CareCredit® and can help you plan for your investment.
The best possible way to determine which procedure is right for you is by scheduling a consultation with our team. During your visit, we’ll feel the structures in the neck to determine if you have a genetic predisposition toward neck fullness or isolated subcutaneous fat. Dr. Karter will thoroughly assess your needs and guide you toward the best option for your needs, lifestyle, budget, and aesthetic goals.
No, the incision is tiny and well-concealed beneath the chin. After healing, scarring is virtually imperceptible.
Driving yourself home after neck liposuction is usually OK because the procedure is performed in-office using only injection numbing medicine instead of local or general anesthesia. In rare circumstances, we may provide a light anti-anxiety medicine for anxious patients. If so, we recommend that someone else drive you home.
Neck liposuction permanently removes fat cells, so the results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight. However, significant weight gain and natural aging can affect your neck contours over time.
