Neck & Chin Liposuction

Yes. Once puberty is complete, humans create very few fat cells. When weight is gained, those that are present expand. Facial liposuction is a permanent method for removing stubborn fat cells.

If you happen to gain weight after your surgery, it will be deposited into your body’s remaining fat cells. The local deposits you had before the surgery can no longer grow disproportionately larger compared to the rest of your body.

In most cases, a single procedure is sufficient. However, some people may need to have their results fine-tuned later on.

The majority of men and women with fat deposits on their face are ideal facial liposuction candidates if:

• They’re in good general, physical, and mental health.
• They have facial fat that is disproportionate to other areas of the body.
• Their skin elasticity is good.
• They expect realistic results.

Not really! Most Indianapolis patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. Thanks to local anesthesia or light sedation, you won’t feel pain during the procedure—just some gentle pressure or movement. Afterward, you may feel a bit sore or swollen (similar to the sensation after a strenuous gym workout), but the discomfort is usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Within a few days, most people start to feel a lot better.

You’ll start with a consultation at Hamilton Plastic Surgery in Indianapolis to discuss your goals and options. After your procedure, you’ll have a couple of follow-up visits so Dr. Hamilton can ensure everything is healing properly. Most patients only need about two or three visits from start to finish.

While you’ll probably notice a slimmer look almost right away, swelling can stick around for a bit. Things really start to shape up within a few weeks, and the full results usually become apparent by the three-month mark. Once the swelling settles, you’ll enjoy a more defined, sculpted neckline that photographs beautifully from every angle.

Definitely! Neck and chin liposuction pairs perfectly with other facial procedures if you’re looking for more dramatic results. Think facelifts, brow lifts, or eyelid surgery—or even something less invasive like fillers or skin treatments. Dr. Hamilton will help you mix and match based on your goals, so you get a personalized plan that works for you and your timeline.

There are a few risks to keep in mind, however, serious issues are uncommon, especially in the hands of a skilled facial plastic surgeon. You might have some swelling, bruising, or temporary numbness, and there’s always a tiny chance of infection or uneven contours.

Dr. Hamilton at Hamilton Plastic Surgery in Indianapolis will take every step he can to help keep things safe, smooth, and stress-free from start to finish.
