Treatment of the Neck in Facial Rejuvenation Surgery Using a Simplified Method of Syringe Assisted Microlipoextraction

Abstract

Twenty-seven patients underwent syringe-assisted liposuction of the neck, the amount of fat removed ranging from 20–110 ml. There were no complications except slight skin laxity (n = 1) and transient hypoaesthesia (n = 10). No patient required a second procedure, and all were satisfied with the results. Syringe-assisted microlipoextraction of cervical fat is a simple, safe, and rewarding procedure that has obvious advantages over open procedures or machine-assisted liposuction with large cannulas.
