Frequently Asked Questions

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION
What causes neck fat?

The accumulation of neck fat can result from various factors, both genetic and lifestyle-related. Aging naturally leads to changes in fat distribution and skin elasticity, while genetic predisposition can make some individuals more prone to storing fat in the neck area. Hormonal changes and weight fluctuations also play significant roles. Additionally, weakened platysma muscles and poor posture can contribute to the appearance of excess neck fat, as can water retention due to dietary factors or medical conditions.

Who is a candidate for neck fat removal?

Ideal candidates for neck fat removal procedures are individuals in good overall health who maintain a stable weight. They should have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes and be committed to keeping results through a healthy lifestyle. Candidates should be non-smokers or willing to quit before the procedure, as smoking can significantly impact healing and results. The best procedure choice depends on factors like skin elasticity, amount of excess fat, and desired recovery time.

What is recovery like after neck fat removal?

Recovery experiences vary significantly depending on the chosen procedure. For non-surgical options like Kybella®, patients typically experience 3-5 days of swelling but can return to normal activities quickly. Facial liposuction and NeckTite™ patients usually require 5-7 days of downtime, while MyEllevate® recipients may need a week before returning to work. Neck lift surgery has the longest recovery period, typically 10-14 days before resuming normal activities, with full results visible after several months.

How long do results last?

The longevity of results varies by procedure. Fat removal through Kybella® or liposuction provides permanent fat reduction, provided patients maintain a stable weight. Skin tightening procedures like NeckTite™ and MyEllevate® typically last 3-5 years, while a neck lift can provide improvements lasting 10 years or more with proper skin care and sun protection.

What are the risks of neck fat removal?

While complications are rare under Dr. Miller’s expert care, all procedures carry some risks. Common temporary effects include swelling, bruising, and numbness in the treated area. More significant risks can include asymmetry, infection, or contour irregularities, though these are uncommon with proper surgical technique and aftercare. Dr. Miller takes extensive precautions to minimize risks and ensures patients are fully informed about potential complications during consultation.

Can neck fat removal be combined with other procedures?

Yes, neck fat removal procedures can often be combined with other facial rejuvenation treatments for more comprehensive results. Common combinations include pairing neck procedures with facelifts, chin augmentation, or other non-surgical treatments. Dr. Miller can create a customized treatment plan that addresses multiple concerns while ensuring safe and natural-looking results.

What should I expect during my consultation?

During your consultation, Dr. Miller will conduct a thorough evaluation of your neck anatomy and skin quality. Through his proprietary NatraLook® process, he’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns while explaining various treatment options. You’ll have the opportunity to view before and after photos of similar cases and receive a personalized treatment recommendation based on your specific needs and desired outcome.
