Liposuction of the neck

Neck liposuction is always preceded by several consultations with our plastic surgeon. During the non-binding consultation ample space to ask your questions in a personal conversation. And express your wishes and expectations about the treatment. Our surgeon Dr Thanya Tha-In will assess whether liposuction is a suitable treatment for you and whether it gives the best results. You will be given full information about the treatment and You will be explained the entire treatment process, from precaution to aftercare. You will be told what end result you can expect from the treatment. Photographs will be taken beforehand and laid next to the post-surgery photos. This allows you to nicely see the natural result of liposuction.

To understand where you are coming from and why you want this procedure, we like to take the time to get to know you well first. The most important thing about the whole treatment is that we understand what your needs are. Do you want a natural result, appropriate to your age? What are your major pluses and minuses? How is the symmetry of your face? By getting to know you, we understand what you want. In the end, it's all about you, and you get to take your time with your decision. It is your face! We rebalance your innerbeauty and your outer beauty.

We are happy to guide you through the entire treatment and healing process. We work with a specially developed pre- and aftercare protocol, so you are maximally prepared and enjoy your recovery. Your neck will be slightly swollen and feel tight for a few days after liposuction. For mild post-operative pain, taking a paracetamol will suffice. The swelling and bruising will disappear on their own within a few weeks. In the first week, get plenty of rest and sleep supine on an extra pillow. This helps against swelling, reduces the risk of subsequent bleeding and promotes the healing process. Avoid pressing, squeezing, bending or lifting in the first three weeks. Do not engage in heavy physical exertion in the first six weeks.

You will reach the best outcome and fastest healing with a healthy lifestyle. At least stop smoking until the sutures are out, do not drink hot drinks to avoid facial congestion and do not chew solid food intensively. Otherwise, this will put pressure on the sutures in the face. Keep moving normally after liposuction to ensure good circulation and rapid healing of the wound. You will be presentable again after one to two weeks and able to resume your daily social activities. In the first three months, do not expose your facial skin to bright sunlight or go under a sunbed or to the sauna. We recommend some connective tissue massages from 3 months after treatment. This makes the skin, underlying tissues and scars supple and soft, and promotes recovery.
