Neck Fat
Neck fat, commonly referred to as a double chin or submental fat, is the accumulation of excess fat beneath the chin and around the neck area. It can be caused by various factors, including genetics, ageing, weight gain, and poor posture.

Causes of Neck Fat
Weight
Overall weight gain can lead to fat storage throughout the body, including the neck.
Genetics
Genes influence how your body distributes fat. If neck fat is prevalent in your family, you might be more prone to it.
Ageing
As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to reduced skin elasticity and a looser appearance in the neck area.
Posture
Poor posture, with your head thrust forward, can emphasise the appearance of neck fat.
Treatment for Neck Fat Removal
We offer a variety of advanced, surgical & non-surgical treatments tailored to your individual needs and desired outcome.
Neck Lift Surgery
A surgical procedure that addresses excess skin and tightens neck muscles for a more defined neck contour.
Ultherapy for Neck
Ultherapy utilises ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, lifting and tightening loose neck skin without surgery.
Radiofrequency Neck Tightening
Using radiofrequency technology, this non-invasive treatment tightens sagging neck skin by stimulating collagen synthesis.
Anti-wrinkle Injectables for Neck Lift
Anti-wrinkle Injectables can improve the appearance of neck bands and wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles.

What they say about us
FAQs About Neck Fat
Frequently Asked Questions
Is neck fat a sign of anything serious?
Usually not. However, a sudden weight gain or rapid change in neck shape can be a sign of an underlying health condition like thyroid problems. It’s best to speak to your GP (General Practitioner) if you’re concerned.
Who's a Good Candidate for Neck Fat Reduction Surgery?
General factors to consider if you’re thinking about neck fat reduction surgery:
- Good overall health: This is important for any surgery, but especially since neck fat reduction procedures often involve anaesthesia. You’ll want to be in good shape to tolerate the procedure and recover well.
- Nonsmoker: Smoking can impede healing and increase risks of complications.
- Realistic expectations: These procedures address fatty deposits, not loose skin. If sagging skin is your main concern, a neck lift might be a better option.
- Good skin elasticity: Liposuction, a common neck fat reduction technique, works best with skin that can snap back after the fat is removed.
It’s important to consult with our board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your specific situation and determine if neck fat reduction surgery is right for you.
What is liposuction, and how does it address neck fat?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, including the neck. During the procedure, a thin tube (cannula) is inserted to suction out unwanted fat, resulting in a more contoured neck appearance.
How long is the recovery period after neck liposuction?
The recovery period following neck liposuction can vary depending on individual factors and the extent of the procedure. Generally, patients can expect some swelling and bruising initially, with full recovery typically taking a few weeks.
Can neck fat contribute to the appearance of a double chin?
Yes, excess neck fat often results in the appearance of a double chin, which can affect facial aesthetics and contribute to an aged or overweight appearance.
Who is a suitable candidate for neck fat reduction procedures?
Suitable candidates for neck fat reduction procedures such as liposuction or neck lift surgery are typically individuals with localised fat deposits in the neck area that are resistant to diet and exercise. A consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon can determine candidacy based on individual goals and medical history.
