Lipectomy (Neck Lift)
Lucere Lipectomy
The Lucere Lipectomy, often known as a neck lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tightens the muscles in the neck & under the chin. This procedure improves the appearance of the jawline and achieves a youthful appearance. This procedure is a popular choice for those aiming to define their jawline and enhance their facial profile.
During the lipectomy, a skilled surgeon employs advanced techniques to carefully remove excess fat and skin. This results in a more sculpted and youthful appearance. The benefits of this procedure extend beyond cosmetic improvements, as it can boost self-confidence and contribute to a more harmonious facial balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lipectomy, and how does it work?
A lipectomy is a surgical procedure reducing excess skin and fat under the chin and in the neck area. It involves making small incisions and using a thin tube (cannula) to remove localized fat deposits. This creates a more defined jawline and improve the contour of the neck.
Am I a suitable candidate for a lipectomy?
Ideal candidates for a lipectomy are individuals who have stubborn fat deposits under the chin that do not respond to diet and exercise. Also, ideal candidates should have relatively good skin elasticity, as the procedure primarily targets fat removal and may not effectively address excessive skin laxity.
What is the recovery process like after a Lucere Lipectomy?
After the procedure, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. Recovery time varies, but generally, patients should plan for a few days to a week of downtime. The surgical team might recommend wearing a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support the healing process. Patients should avoid strenuous activities during the initial recovery period.
Can the Lucere Lipectomy be combined with other cosmetic treatments?
Yes, surgeons can combine Lipectomy with other cosmetic procedures and treatments to enhance overall results and address multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously.
Our expert team has experience in creating comprehensive treatment plans, often including a combination of procedures and treatments to address different aesthetic concerns and achieve the desired overall results. You should consult with your surgical team to determine the best procedures and treatments to meet your goals.
