The result of the liposuction under the chin is immediately visible, but 4 to 6 months will be necessary before the final result can be appreciated. The skin of the neck gradually retracts after a neck lipoaspiration. The stitches are resorbable. The return to work is envisaged between 3 and 10 days after the operation. Massages of the region are recommended after the operation to soften this area.
