Want Your Neckline to Look More Defined?

Excess chin or neck fat can soften your profile, even when the rest of your face feels balanced. With neck liposuction in Richmond, the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery uses minimally invasive, in-office LITTLE Lipo techniques to sculpt the neck, refine the jawline, and create a cleaner lower-face contour.

This specialized liposuction procedure may be right for you if you:

Have fullness under the chin or along the neck
Want more definition between your jawline and neck
Are close to your goal weight, but still have stubborn fat in this area
Have good skin elasticity and realistic expectations
Want a less invasive option than a neck lift
Prefer an in-office procedure with minimal downtime

At Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery, your procedure is performed by Dr. Burton Sundin or Dr. Reps Sundin, board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeons with 30+ years of combined experience. As the creators of the LITTLE Lipo technique, our surgeons bring advanced fat-removal expertise to a procedure that can typically be completed in under an hour, with patients returning home the same day.

How Is Neck Lipo Different From A Neck Lift?

Neck liposuction can refine your neckline without the commitment of a full neck lift. While a neck lift is designed to tighten loose skin and address more advanced sagging, neck lipo focuses on removing stubborn fat under the chin and along the jawline for a slimmer, more defined profile.

Targeting Fat Reduction – Not Skin Tightening

Neck liposuction removes excess fat under the chin and along the jawline to create sharper, more youthful contours. If you have ideal skin elasticity, this procedure can remove submental fullness (double chin) without a neck lift.

Minimally Invasive Procedure – Not Major Surgery

Unlike a neck lift, which involves larger incisions and general anesthesia, neck liposuction is done in-office under local anesthesia. We place tiny openings beneath the chin or behind the ears, allowing us to gently remove fat with minimal swelling or bruising.

Shorter Recovery Period & Minimal Downtime

Neck lipo is minimally invasive, so you can return to work and light activity within just a few days. You’ll see an immediate improvement in your profile, and your results will continue to improve as swelling fades.

Is Neck Liposuction the Right Option for Your Needs?

Neck liposuction is designed to create a cleaner, slimmer, more defined transition between your chin, jawline, and neck. If your fullness is caused by stubborn fat rather than loose skin, this procedure can help refine your profile while preserving a natural look.

With neck lipo, you may see:

Less fullness under the chin
A more defined jawline
A slimmer-looking neck
Better separation between the face and neck
A more balanced side profile
Natural-looking refinement without a full neck lift

Your results will continue to improve as swelling fades and your new contour becomes more visible. During your consultation, Dr. Burton Sundin or Dr. Reps Sundin will evaluate your anatomy, skin elasticity, and goals to help you understand what neck liposuction can realistically achieve for you.

Laser Liposuction with Renuvion

For patients who want extra tightening along with fat removal, Renuvion can take your neck liposuction results even further. Using plasma energy beneath the skin, it gently firms and smooths the area under your chin for a sharper, more defined jawline—without adding downtime.

Your Neck Lipo Experience from Start to Finish

Before Your Appointment: You’ll meet with one of our surgeons to talk through your goals and determine if neck liposuction is the right fit for you. We’ll assess your skin elasticity, medical history, and create a custom plan based around your features.
Our Neck Lipo Process: The procedure typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, and is performed right in our office using local anesthesia. Through tiny incisions under the chin or behind the ears, we gently remove excess fat to refine your jawline and neck contours.
Recovery & Aftercare: You’ll wear a light compression garment for a few days to minimize swelling and support your new contours. Most patients feel ready to return to work and normal activities within three to five days, and results continue to refine over the following weeks.

Answers to the Most Common Neck Lipo Questions

How much does neck liposuction cost?

At Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery, chin and neck liposuction typically starts at $5,000 and can go up to $7,500. Your cost depends on your anatomy, goals, and whether you’re combining it with other procedures. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized quote so you know what to expect.

Will I have visible scars following the procedure?

We use small incisions (just a few millimeters wide), typically hidden under the chin or behind the ears. Once healed, they’re barely noticeable, and many patients say they can’t even find them after a few months.

When will I be able to see the final results?

You’ll see a difference almost immediately, but swelling can take a few weeks to fully resolve. Most patients see their final, refined results within 1 to 3 months.

How long do neck liposuction results last?

Your results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable weight. The fat cells we remove are gone for good, and you’ll enjoy your sculpted jawline for years to come.
