Neck Lift with Liposuction Gold Coast

How is the neck lift with liposuction performed?

Since patients are not placed under general anaesthesia, only oral medication and local anaesthetic will be given to help with relaxation and to control any pain and discomfort.

Treatment involves making a small incision under the chin and using an ultrasound probe to break down the fat cells and tighten the surrounding tissue. The liquefied fat cells will then be removed using power assisted liposuction. The method of melting the unwanted fat before it is removed prevents damage to the surrounding tissues in the treated area, as it allowed for a gentler extraction.

Treatment time is typically about one hour but will ultimately depend on the amount of fat that is being removed during the procedure. If you need more skin tightening than what Vaser can achieve, the iGuide Neck Lift can be included in the procedure.

What can I expect after the procedure?

After your procedure, you’ll be required to wear a compression garment to minimise swelling, promote blood circulation, as well as to assist with the healing process. You may experience some swelling in the treated area, but this is normal and will subside as your body heals. Most patients can typically return to work after one week, however, intense exercise should be avoided for about three weeks. You should be able to see the results of the procedure at about 6 to 12 weeks of recovery.

During your consultation for the neck lift with liposuction procedure, you will be given recovery instructions that are tailored to your customised details of your procedure. General recovery instructions usually include to:

• Wear your liposuction compression garment for three days full time and seven days part time
• Care for your surgical sites by keeping them clean and protected
• Eat healthy and stay hydrated
• Listen to your body and get plenty of rest
• Attend post-surgical check-ups
• Manage pain with prescribed medication

How much does the Vaser neck liposuction procedure cost in Gold Coast?

Your total procedure costs will be unique to you, as it will be influenced by the details of the procedure. The costs of a neck lift with Vaser liposuction will depend on:

• Your body type
• Your selected type of anaesthesia (Local and twilight or general)
• The amount of fat that you need removed
• The time spent in surgery

The cost of neck liposuction procedures varies based on individual factors. A detailed quote can be provided during a consultation, with the initial consultation fee costing between $150 to $200.

If you decide that you need the iGuide Neck Lift as well, the costs for iGuide will start at $7,000. If you want to treat other areas of the body for a procedure that can create a more dramatic change, such as undergoing a chin and neck liposuction procedure, the additional areas will be added to the procedure costs.

Since your costs are personalised, we recommend booking a consultation at our Gold Coast clinic to receive a quote.

Are there any risks and complications associated with neck liposuction?

The associated risks and complications of neck liposuction with Vaser are quite minor, as the procedure is less invasive than alternative methods of liposuction. However, all cosmetic procedures still carry some risks. The potential risks of a neck lift with liposuction include:

• Pain or general discomfort
• Numbness
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Bleeding
• Scarring
• Infection
• Temporary nerve injury in the treated area
• Skin irregularities on the treated area
• Contour irregularities

Will there be swelling and bruising?

Yes, it’s normal to experience some swelling after neck liposuction for up to two weeks. Bruising is also possible but doesn’t happen to everybody. Some patients experience no bruising at all while others have significant bruising in the treatment areas. Most swelling and bruising should be resolved 6-8 weeks after the procedure.

I’m not overweight. Do I qualify for neck liposuction?

Weight gain is not the only reason for having excess fat deposits under the neck. If you’re a young person it can be due to genetics (you can inherit a bulky or “turkey neck” from your parents). If you’ve developed the condition later in life it can be attributed to changes in your facial anatomy thanks to the effects of gravity and the aging process. Regardless of the reason, you may see great results with this procedure.

I’ve lost a lot of weight. Will a neck lift with VASER liposuction work for me?

Yes, VASER neck liposuction can still work for you even if you’ve lost a lot of weight. It all depends on how much loose skin you have. Even though the neck skin has been stretched with weight gain, it’s still possible to achieve a good level of skin contracture with VASER neck liposuction.
