A defined jawline can dramatically transform your appearance. If you have excess fullness beneath the chin, a soft jawline, or stubborn submental fat that has not responded to diet and exercise, neck liposuction can create a cleaner, sharper, more contoured profile.
At JH Face, Dr. Jonathan Harounian, a double board-certified Facial Plastic and ENT surgeon serving Long Island and Great Neck, specializes in sophisticated facial and neck contouring designed to produce natural-looking, refined results.
Neck liposuction—also called submental liposuction or chin liposuction—is a minimally invasive facial contouring procedure that selectively removes excess fat from beneath the chin and along the upper neck.
Rather than simply making the neck smaller, the goal is to create better definition between the:
Chin and neck
Jawline and lower face
Face and neck
Submental region and surrounding facial structures
When performed with meticulous attention to facial anatomy, neck liposuction can make the jawline appear sharper, the neck appear longer and more elegant, and the entire lower face look more youthful and balanced.
Your neck is not simply an area of excess fat—it is an important component of your facial profile.
As a double board-certified Facial Plastic and ENT surgeon, Dr. Harounian brings an advanced understanding of facial anatomy, soft-tissue relationships, skin quality, and facial proportions to every neck contouring procedure.
His approach is highly individualized. Some patients need isolated submental liposuction. Others may benefit from combining liposuction with additional facial rejuvenation or contouring procedures to achieve a more complete result.
The objective is never an over-operated appearance. It is a refined, natural-looking profile that looks like you—only more defined.
Neck liposuction may be appropriate if you have:
Excess fat beneath the chin
A double chin
Poorly defined jawline
Fullness along the upper neck
A disproportionate or heavy-looking lower face
Stubborn submental fat despite maintaining a healthy weight
Good-to-moderate skin elasticity
During your consultation, Dr. Harounian will evaluate your skin quality, facial proportions, chin projection, jawline anatomy, and distribution of submental fat to determine whether liposuction alone will provide the result you want.
Neck liposuction primarily addresses excess fat.
A neck lift addresses additional concerns such as loose skin, platysmal banding, and lax neck tissues.
For carefully selected patients with good skin elasticity, liposuction alone can provide a dramatic improvement in jawline definition. Patients with significant skin laxity may benefit from a different or combined approach.
Dr. Harounian will recommend the least invasive procedure capable of achieving your desired result—not a one-size-fits-all operation.
Beautiful facial contouring is about proportion.
The goal of neck liposuction is not to create an unnaturally sharp or hollow appearance. It is to remove strategically selected areas of excess fat while preserving the natural contours of the face and neck.
A well-contoured neck can enhance your appearance from every angle—front, profile, and three-quarter view.
Patients throughout Great Neck, Nassau County, Long Island, and the surrounding New York metropolitan area seek Dr. Harounian for advanced facial plastic surgery and individualized facial rejuvenation.
If you are bothered by a double chin or lack of jawline definition, neck liposuction may be the transformation you have been looking for.
Sharper jawline. Cleaner profile. More refined proportions.

Does neck liposuction remove a double chin?
Yes. Neck liposuction can reduce excess submental fat responsible for a double chin and improve definition beneath the chin and along the jawline.
Is neck liposuction permanent?
The fat cells removed during liposuction do not grow back. However, significant weight gain can enlarge the remaining fat cells and affect your contour.
Will neck liposuction tighten loose skin?
Liposuction primarily removes fat and does not replace a surgical neck lift when significant skin laxity is present. Skin elasticity is therefore an important part of determining candidacy.
How long does neck liposuction take?
The procedure is typically relatively short, although the exact duration depends on the anatomy being treated and whether additional procedures are performed.
Is neck liposuction painful?
Most patients experience temporary soreness, swelling, tightness, or bruising rather than significant pain. Dr. Harounian will provide specific postoperative instructions to optimize your recovery.
When will I see my neck liposuction results?
Some improvement is visible early, but swelling gradually resolves over the following weeks. The final contour becomes increasingly apparent as postoperative swelling subsides.
How much does neck liposuction cost in Long Island?
The cost varies depending on the patient’s anatomy, surgical plan, anesthesia, facility, and whether other procedures are performed. A personalized quote is provided after consultation.
