Expanded Details on the Neck Liposuction Procedure

At Wirth Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, we aim to provide not only transformative results but also a clear understanding of the procedure. Neck liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your comfort level and medical profile.

Dr. Wirth uses a small cannula—inserted through discreet incisions behind the ears—to carefully suction out excess fat while sculpting and tightening the neck contours.
