Neck Liposuction with Dr. Teitelbaum

Submental liposuction is one of Dr. Teitelbaum’s favorite procedures because it is straightforward, safe, non-obvious, and yields a wonderful results in his patients’ appearances.

Dr. Teitelbaum knows that liposuction is this area does much more than remove fat for the sake of looking thinner. An issue both for men and women is having an acute "cervicomental angle," which is the angle the under-the-chin area makes with the front of the neck. This should be a relatively sharp transition, and excess fat can blur this, thereby making the chin seem short.

Finally, our perception of youthful vitality is significantly affected by the delineation of the lower border of the jaw. When the distinction between face and neck is vague, the individual looks less healthy and athletic. It is a goal to make the neck and face two very distinct structures.

The Procedure

Liposuction under the chin, or "submental liposuction," removes the bulge and restores a nice distinction between the face and neck.

This should not be overdone. As we all grow older, fat can be lost in this area and the muscles of the neck can become more visible. Obscuring those muscles in the future by preserving some layer of fat is important to the ideal liposuction of the neck.
