For fat removal only, liposuction is used. Loose neck muscles can be corrected by making incisions under the chin and behind the ears; this allows the surgeon to access the neck muscle (platysma) and alter it accordingly. Like browplasty, some muscle may be removed to attain the desired look. The removal of excess skin may also be necessary to tighten up the neck line. Depending on the complexity of the surgery and techniques used, recovery times can vary. With liposuction, compression bandages may be used in the days following the surgery. Within a few days, light activities can be resumed, but anything strenuous is not recommended for two weeks.
