Understanding Posterior Neck Roll Removal
Posterior neck roll removal is a cosmetic procedure designed to target and eliminate excess fat deposits and lumps in the back of the neck. This procedure is especially beneficial for individuals who have a genetic predisposition to accumulate fat in this area.
Utilizing Liposuction for Reshaping and Reducing Unwanted Lumps:
To achieve optimal results in posterior neck roll removal, Dr. Gallagher utilizes liposuction as the primary technique. Liposuction is a safe and effective method for removing excess fat and sculpting the body. The procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort during the surgery. Dr. Gallagher will determine the most appropriate anesthesia option based on your individual needs.
- Incisions: Small incisions, usually less than half an inch in length, are strategically placed in inconspicuous locations on the back of the neck.
- Liposuction: Through these incisions, a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to gently suction out excess fat, reshape the neck, and reduce unwanted lumps. Dr. Gallagher employs meticulous techniques to achieve a smooth and natural contour.
- Skin Tightening or Lift: In cases where there is a significant amount of loose skin in the posterior neck area, Dr. Gallagher may recommend additional procedures such as skin tightening or a posterior neck lift. These techniques help to address sagging skin and achieve a more youthful and defined neckline.
- Incision Closure and Recovery: After completing the liposuction and any additional procedures, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures. Dr. Gallagher will provide detailed post-operative instructions, including guidelines for recovery, pain management, and wearing compression garments to support healing.
