Neck Liposuction
Neck liposuction in Lucknow targets stubborn fat between the skin and neck muscles, the area responsible for a double chin or thickened jawline. At Kayakriti, Dr. Agarwal, FRCS Edinburgh, performs precise, small-cannula liposuction to sculpt a cleaner cervico-mental angle while protecting nerves, vessels, and the platysma muscle. Most patients go home the same day.

About Neck Liposuction
A defined neck and jawline depend on a thin layer of submental fat sitting over a well-toned platysma. Genetics, weight gain, and aging often add fat in this exact zone, blurring the angle between the chin and neck. Once that pad is established, diet and exercise rarely shift it. Chin liposuction directly removes the excess fat while preserving the overlying skin's ability to retract.
During the procedure, three to four small incisions are placed under the chin and behind each earlobe, where they are easily hidden. Tumescent fluid is infiltrated for safety and comfort, and fat is removed with fine cannulas in a fan-shaped pattern. The technique we use is conservative, leaving a smooth subcutaneous layer to avoid contour irregularities.
Double chin removal surgery suits adults with localised neck fat and reasonable skin elasticity. Skin quality is the deciding factor: when elasticity is poor, a neck lift may be more appropriate. Dr. Agarwal examines your skin pinch, neck muscle position, and bony landmarks during consultation. We do not push patients into liposuction when a different approach gives a better result.
Neck contouring is usually performed under local anaesthesia with light sedation, although general anaesthesia is offered when other procedures are planned together. The session takes around 45 to 60 minutes. A compression garment is fitted at the end of surgery to support the soft tissues and reduce swelling.
Recovery in Lucknow is straightforward. Patients walk out the same day with a snug chin strap, which is worn day and night for the first week and at night for a further two weeks. Bruising fades over ten to fourteen days, and the final shape settles by three to six months as the skin retracts.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How long do neck liposuction results last?
Removed fat cells do not return, so the contour change is long lasting if you maintain a stable weight. Significant weight gain can deposit fat elsewhere or in residual neck cells. We share clear weight and lifestyle guidance and review progress at three and six months. Most patients in Lucknow are satisfied with the long-term result.
Is neck liposuction painful?
The procedure itself is comfortable under local anaesthesia with sedation, or general anaesthesia. Afterwards, most patients describe tightness and mild bruising rather than sharp pain. Simple painkillers are usually enough for the first three to five days. By the second week, most patients no longer need any medication for discomfort.
What does neck liposuction cost?
Cost depends on the anaesthesia, theatre time, and whether the procedure is combined with a chin implant or neck lift. After consultation we share a written estimate covering surgery, theatre, anaesthesia, garments, and follow-up reviews. We avoid bundle offers and discuss only procedures that genuinely improve your contour.
Will I have visible scars?
The incisions are around three millimetres long and are placed in the natural crease under the chin and just behind each earlobe. They are designed to be invisible at conversational distance. We use fine sutures and provide silicone gel guidance. Most patients in Lucknow tell us scars are difficult to find within three months.
Am I a candidate for double chin removal surgery?
Adults with localised neck fat and reasonable skin elasticity are usually suitable. We assess medical fitness, weight stability, and skin quality. Patients with significant skin laxity may need a neck lift instead, sometimes combined with liposuction. A consultation with Dr. Agarwal, FRCS Edinburgh, clarifies the right approach for your anatomy.
