Your Chin and Neck Lipo Consultation
At Scarpidis Aesthetics, your treatment journey begins with our signature two-step consultation experience. First, you will connect with a patient care concierge for a complimentary discovery call, so we can learn about your goals and start exploring your treatment options with you. If you decide you are ready to move forward in your aesthetic journey, the next step is a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Scarpidis.
During your in-person consultation, Dr. Scarpidis will assess your facial anatomy, review your medical history, and discuss your cosmetic goals with you in-depth. Using the information he gathers, he will determine if neck liposuction is right for you and will design a personalized treatment plan for achieving your desired outcome. He will also explain the procedure in detail, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable.
What to Expect During Awake Neck Liposuction
Dr. Scarpidis offers neck and chin liposuction as an awake procedure, meaning patients remain conscious but relaxed throughout the treatment. Unlike traditional liposuction performed under general anesthesia, which puts the patient completely to sleep, awake liposuction uses only local anesthesia to numb the area. This approach helps to reduce risks and allows for a quicker recovery.
Once the area is fully numbed, Dr. Scarpidis will make small, discreet incisions under the chin or behind the ears to access the fat deposits. He will carefully suction out excess fat using a fine cannula, sculpting a smoother and more defined neck contour. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and a compression garment is applied to minimize swelling and support the healing process.
With awake lipo, patients are alert enough to communicate but feel no pain during the procedure. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the treatment experience is and appreciate being able to avoid the grogginess and downtime that come with general anesthesia.
What to Expect During Neck Lipo Recovery
Recovery from neck and chin liposuction is relatively quick. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the days following the procedure. These symptoms are typically mild and can be managed with prescribed medications and proper aftercare. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within a week, though strenuous activities should be avoided for at least two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does neck liposuction cost in NYC?
The cost of double chin liposuction in NYC varies depending on the extent of fat removal needed and whether the procedure is combined with other treatments. Complete pricing details for your customized neck lipo procedure will be reviewed with you during your consultation. Scarpidis Aesthetics partners with CareCredit to offer financing for neck and chin liposuction.
Is neck and chin liposuction painful?
During the awake lipo procedure at Scarpidis Aesthetics, local anesthesia ensures you feel no pain, only perhaps some mild pressure or movement. Post-procedure, some discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal but are generally easily managed with prescribed medication and resolve within a week.
Can neck liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes. For patients seeking more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, neck liposuction can be combined with other surgical cosmetic procedures such as:
- Facelift: Neck liposuction can be performed in conjunction with a facelift to address both excess fat and sagging skin.
- Neck Lift: This procedure tightens loose neck skin and muscles, providing more dramatic rejuvenation.
- Chin augmentation: Increasing the prominence of the chin can further improve facial balance.
- Eyelid surgery: Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can be performed to refresh the upper and/or lower eyelid areas by lifting and tightening loose skin.
- Rhinoplasty: Also known as a nose job, rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to achieve a more harmonious facial profile.
Complementary non-surgical aesthetic treatments can also be combined with neck and chin lipo for enhanced facial rejuvenation outcomes. Depending on your needs and desired results, Dr. Scarpidis may recommend dermal fillers, neuromodulators, laser skin rejuvenation, or other advanced treatment options.
How long does a neck and chin lipo procedure take?
Chin and neck liposuction typically takes about one to two hours, depending on the extent of the treatment. Dr. Scarpidis will provide a more exact estimation for your total procedure time during your consultation.
How soon will I see results?
You will begin to see your neck liposuction results as swelling subsides, usually within a few weeks. Final results will be visible after a few months as your neck continues to heal and settle into its new contour.
What are the risks and potential complications of chin and neck liposuction?
As with any surgical procedure, neck liposuction carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, or adverse reactions to anesthesia. However, these risks are minimal when the procedure is performed by a skilled surgeon like Dr. Scarpidis who takes every precaution to ensure your safety.
During your consultation, Dr. Scarpidis will discuss potential risks and complications of neck lipo, so you can make an informed decision for your care.
How long do neck liposuction results last?
Neck and chin liposuction results are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While liposuction permanently removes fat cells, new fat can accumulate if you do not follow a balanced diet and regular exercise routine. By adopting healthy habits, you can enjoy your enhanced look for years to come.
Can I eliminate my double chin without surgery?
If you are concerned about the appearance of a double chin but are not a good candidate for neck lipo or prefer a less invasive approach to submental fat reduction, Kybella® may be a good option. A consultation with Dr. Scarpidis is the best way to find out which double chin treatment is right for you.
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable formulated with deoxycholic acid. When injected strategically in the submental area, Kybella® works to irreparably damage fat cells, so the body processes them for natural elimination from the body.
How quickly can I return to work after neck liposuction?
Most patients can return to work and light daily activities within about one week following their chin and neck liposuction procedure. Strenuous activities should generally be avoided for at least two weeks to ensure optimal healing. Dr. Scarpidis will provide detailed aftercare instructions to guide you through your recovery.
