About neck liposuction in Adelaide
What is the neck lift with liposuction?
Neck lift with liposuction is intended to target unwanted fat and may assist in skin tightening. During VASER neck liposuction, an ultrasound-emitting probe is used, aiming to affect fat cells and potentially influence skin contraction. In many cases skin retraction is so impressive after VASER liposuction that it results are similar to a neck lift.
Many people associate neck fat with being overweight or obese. Although this may be true for some individuals, quite often there are other factors at play, like genetics, hormones and age. Therefore, if you’re unhappy with your “turkey neck” or you’d like to improve the appearance of your chin, neck and jawline without surgery, a Neck Lift with Liposuction may be a great option for you.
Neck Lift With Liposuction costs in Adelaide
Neck Liposuction/Lift treatment prices vary depending on your overall situation and expectations. As a guide:
- Neck Lift: From $6,000
- Initial consultation: $150 – $220
Your practitioner will confirm the cost of your treatment during your consultation.
Results may vary from patient to patient.
How is the neck liposuction procedure performed?
On the day of your procedure, you’ll be given twilight sedation and local anaesthesia to help you relax and to control any pain and discomfort. General anaesthesia is an option for those who prefer.
First, a small incision will be made under the chin and an ultrasound probe will be inserted to break down the fat tissue and tighten surrounding tissue. The liquefied fat cells will then be removed using power assisted liposuction. Melting the stubborn fat cells before removal creates a gentler fat removal method than traditional liposuction, as it prevents the surrounding tissues in the treatment area from harm. If more skin tightening is necessary, you can include iGuide Neck Lift in your procedure.
The procedure will take about one hour, depending on each patients’ individual needs, such as the amount of fat being removed and if iGuide is included.
Neck liposuction recovery
It is normal to experience some swelling and bruising in the treated area after your procedure, and this will subside during recovery. To help minimise swelling, promote blood circulation and support the body’s healing process, you will be instructed to wear a facial compression garment. Generally, patients will only need to take one week off work or usual daily activities, avoiding strenuous exercise for three weeks.
The results of the procedure can be noticeable at about six to 12 weeks of the recovery process as swelling subsides and the skin begins to tighten.
Each patient will be supplied with their own list of recovery instructions during the initial consultation. As a guide, these can include:
- Wear the liposuction compression garment. You will need to wear this for three days full time and seven days part time
- Take care of your surgical sites as instructed. You will need to avoid itching or picking at the incision sites and keep them clean to avoid irritation or infection
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet and stay hydrated
- Listen to your body. If you are feeling tired, make sure you get plenty of rest
- Manage pain with prescribed medication, if needed
- Attend your post-surgical check-ups to ensure that you are recovering well

Frequently asked
Neck Liposuction/Lift involves the insertion of a fine ultrasound probe under the skin. The Vaser probe uses ultrasound energy to melt fat cells and tighten the collagen fibres underneath the skin. This results in an improvement in the jawline and neck area – removing excess fat and tightening sagging skin.
The major advantage of this Neck Liposuction/Lift treatment is that it eliminates fat deposits whilst tightening your skin at the very same time. This tightening effect basically eliminates the need for a lift surgery, as the neckline is picked up and smoothed.
This new technology involves the use of an ultra-thin fibre that is placed just below the surface of the skin. The laser energy heats up the all-important “collagen and elastin” fibres and causes them to contract. Simultaneously, the probe melts small fatty deposits and suctions it out of the body as a form of fat removal.
Results of the surgery continue to improve over the following 6 to 12 weeks post-surgery. You will also see a significant improvement to the overall skin quality.
The cost of neck liposuction procedures varies based on individual factors.
Since the Vaser neck liposuction procedure is personalised and patients have the option to add iGuide Neck Lift or treat additional areas for a more intense change (such as by undergoing a chin and neck liposuction procedure), costs will vary from patient to patient.
Costs depend on:
- Body type
- Anaesthesia type
- Amount of fat being removed
- Total procedure time
- If treating additional areas (Each area will be added to the costs)
It can be hard to closely estimate your costs before having a consultation. We recommend booking your Cosmos Clinic Adelaide consultation today to receive a personalised quote and begin preparing for your procedure.
The risks of neck liposuction using Vaser technology are lower than traditional liposuction methods, however, all procedures carry some form of risk. The associated risks and complications of the procedure are:
- Pain, numbness, swelling or bruising that will subside during recovery
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Temporary nerve injury in the treated area
- Contour irregularities
- Skin irregularities on the treated area
- Scarring
Yes, the neck lift with liposuction procedure can still be right for you if you have lost a high volume of weight. Your suitability for the procedure will depend on the amount of loose skin on your neck. Patients who have an excessive amount of loose skin may be better suited to a surgical neck lift.
Patients who have a moderate amount of excess skin can be suitable for Vaser, and although the skin was stretched by weight gain, Vaser can still achieve an effective level of skin contracture and tighten the area sufficiently.
You should wait at least two weeks after surgery before resuming vigorous physical activity. Exercise such as weight training and sprinting can increase your blood pressure, leading to high blood pressure, bleeding and swelling, all of which can slow down your recovery process.
