What Is Male Neck Liposuction?

Male neck liposuction, also known as male submental liposuction, is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat beneath the chin and along the neck, enhancing definition in your jaw and lower face. It’s typically performed as a standalone procedure, but it can be combined with a neck lift or facelift to extend your transformation. In men, neck liposuction is performed with careful attention to the following:

Preserving a strong, masculine jawline
Creating a sharp, well-defined contour
Maintaining natural fullness without over-thinning the neck

Dr. Teitelbaum has advanced expertise in male anatomy to ensure your final results maintain your strong, masculine characteristics.

Your Confidential Consultation

Your journey with Dr. Teitelbaum will begin with a personalized, one-on-one consultation at his Los Angeles practice. There, you’ll discuss your aesthetic concerns, goals, and medical history, and he’ll evaluate your fat distribution, skin elasticity, and bone structure along your neck to determine if male neck liposuction is right for you.

Pricing Your Procedure

After your consultation, Dr. Teitelbaum’s team will share a complete cost estimate and financing options for total transparency.

The cost of your male neck liposuction in Los Angeles will depend on the following factors:

Surgical complexity
Extent of correction
Whether additional procedures will be performed in the same surgical session

What to Expect From Your Male Neck Liposuction in Los Angeles

Your male neck liposuction will be performed under local anesthesia with sedation at Dr. Teitelbaum’s private, accredited surgical center in Santa Monica. To begin your surgery, Dr. Teitelbaum will make small incisions underneath the chin or behind the ears to access the neck. Then, a small, specialized cannula will be placed in each opening to reach the targeted fat cells.

Dr. Teitelbaum will use the cannulas to gently remove stubborn fat cells and reshape the neck, focusing on defining the jawline. Once complete, your incisions will be closed with small sutures to promote rapid healing and smooth, discreet scars.

High-Touch, Patient-Centered Recovery

Recovery after male neck liposuction in Los Angeles typically involves mild swelling, bruising, and firmness along the neck, jaw, and chin, but this should resolve within a few days. Most patients return to normal daily activities, including light movement, desk work, and social gatherings, within five days, but you may wish to wait until all bruising has faded for your own comfort. You may need to wear a compressive neck wrap to support your healing tissues and reduce swelling during early recovery. After your procedure, you’ll receive extensive aftercare instructions from Dr. Teitelbaum’s team. This list may include the following items:

Incision site care and cleaning protocols
Hygiene recommendations
Supportive garment guidance
Activity limitations
Swelling and pain management strategies
Sleep position restrictions

You’ll return to Dr. Teitelbaum’s Los Angeles office several times over the coming months for follow-up visits with his team. There, he’ll remove any remaining sutures, monitor your healing progress, and clear you for strenuous activities such as prolonged bending, high-impact exercise, and contact sports. The final results of your neck liposuction will reveal themselves as residual swelling fades, which may take up to three months.

Neck Liposuction vs. Neck Lift

At times, patients will seek out neck liposuction when a neck lift would be more appropriate, and vice versa. Neck liposuction focuses on removing excess fat from the neck, while a neck lift takes a comprehensive approach to address loose skin, muscle banding, and structural aging.

Depending on your needs, Dr. Teitelbaum may incorporate a small amount of liposuction into your neck lift for enhanced refinement.

Completing Your Transformation

Many patients incorporate male neck liposuction as part of an overarching facial rejuvenation plan. Complementary procedures include the following:
