What is Deep Neck Contouring?
Deep neck contouring is a procedure that targets excess fat, loose skin, and muscle laxity in the neck to create a youthful appearance. This technique addresses concerns such as a double chin, poorly defined jawline, or neck fullness that may not improve with weight loss alone. By removing fat and tightening the deeper structures of the neck, this procedure delivers long-lasting improvements in neck contours.

Candidates for Deep Neck Contouring
Ideal candidates for deep neck contouring are individuals who experience submental fullness or lack of definition in the neck and jawline. This procedure is ideal for those in their twenties to forties who have good skin elasticity but struggle with stubborn fat or weak muscle tone. Patients in their fifties or older with significant skin laxity may benefit from additional procedures, such as a lower facelift or neck lift, for optimal results. A consultation with Dr. Daraei will determine whether deep neck contouring is right for your aesthetic goals.

Deep Neck Contouring Procedure
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s needs. Small incisions are placed under the chin or behind the ears to access and sculpt the neck structures. Dr. Daraei removes excess fat using liposuction, refines deep neck muscles, and tightens tissues to enhance definition. In some cases, platysmaplasty (neck muscle tightening) may be performed to improve your neck contours and support long-term results. The incisions are carefully closed to minimize scarring.
Deep Neck Contouring Recovery
Recovery from deep neck contouring is mild, with most patients returning to daily activities within one to two weeks. Swelling and bruising are common in the first few days but gradually subside. Dr. Daraei provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results. Patients are advised to wear a supportive chin strap for the first week to aid in recovery and maintain the newly contoured neck shape.

Deep Neck Contouring Results
Deep neck contouring helps you achieve a sharper jawline, improved neck definition, and a more sculpted appearance. Results are long-lasting, with many patients experiencing a refined profile for years. Maintaining a stable weight and following a proper skincare routine can help extend the longevity of the outcome. Some patients enhance their results with non-surgical treatments such as skin tightening or dermal fillers.
