Neck Liposuction
Neck liposuction is designed to remove excess fat beneath the chin and along the neck to improve jawline definition and facial contour. By reducing fullness in the neck, this procedure can create a more sculpted profile and enhance overall facial balance.
Dr. Amra Olafson believes successful neck contouring should look natural and refined. Her goal is to improve definition while maintaining harmony with the rest of the face.
