A sculpted, well-defined neck and jawline convey vibrancy and youthfulness. Whether you want a firmer, more contoured neck due to genetics or aging, deep neck contouring can provide long-lasting, transformative results. At The Wall Center for Plastic Surgery in Shreveport, LA, our plastic surgeons specialize in deep plane neck contouring techniques that give patients a naturally refined look with lasting definition.
Deep neck contouring is a specialized combination surgery that refines and contours the neck by addressing the underlying tissues, including fat, muscle, and supporting structures, usually accomplished through just an incision under the chin. Unlike more superficial techniques that only address excess fat under the skin, like neck liposuction, deep neck contouring addresses the underlying causes of fullness under the chin and along the neck that can’t be treated with liposuction.
Deep neck contouring isn’t a good fit for everyone, though. If patient concerns are limited to excess fat below the skin in the submental and neck areas, SAFELipo® is an excellent solution. SAFELipo is a groundbreaking liposuction enhancement technique invented by Dr. Simeon Wall Jr. and now used worldwide. It removes the excess fat smoothly and evenly while providing spectacular, uniform skin tightening. Our surgeons often combine deep neck contouring and SAFELipo to address each patient’s concerns completely.
You may be a good candidate for the procedure if you are in good overall health and want to address any of the following concerns:
These procedures can enhance overall facial harmony and provide a natural-looking, long-lasting contour for adults of all ages. However, the best candidates for isolated deep neck contouring are usually younger than 50. People in their 50s and older often require a mini facelift or a facelift and neck lift to attain their desired rejuvenation.

Younger patients who want refinement without a facelift, typically women in their 30s and 40s and most men, may be candidates for isolated neck lift surgery at our practice in Shreveport, LA. This procedure focuses on refining fat distribution and tightening the underlying structures of the neck without affecting the lower face, cheeks, or eyes.
Our surgeons reserve the isolated neck lift for patients who do not have significant aging above the neck. It is performed entirely through an incision below the chin.
The Wall Center’s surgeons refine the neck’s shape and improve definition with SAFELipo®, a groundbreaking liposuction enhancement technique Dr. Simeon Wall Jr. invented and is now used worldwide. It gently removes excess fat smoothly and evenly while preserving the surrounding tissue and providing uniform, predictable skin retraction, which enhance results by:
Additionally, the fat removed with SAFELipo can be purified and strategically injected to restore volume to areas such as the chin, cheeks, temples, and under the eyes.
At The Wall Center, our surgeons perform deep neck contouring in our private, Medicare-certified surgery center using a general anesthetic. They carefully place incisions to conceal and minimize visible scarring. The specifics of each procedure vary, but typically include:
Once the surgery is complete, a gentle compression wrap is placed around the face and neck. Patients usually return home on the day of surgery; some stay overnight in one of our private, on-site guest suites.
Recovery from deep neck contouring typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, after which patients are usually able to use makeup and go out in public. Most patients do not develop bruising and can manage discomfort with over-the-counter or prescription pain medication.
While experiences vary with the specifics of each surgery and individual patient factors, recovery typically progresses along the following general timeline:
Day of surgery: Return home in the care of an adult.
2 to 3 days: Swelling and discomfort peak.
2 to 3 weeks: Swelling and tightness fade.
3 to 4 weeks: Resume regular exercise routine.
6 weeks: See improved contours. Incisions healed.
4 to 6 months: Achieve final results.
6 to 12 months: Scars fade.
We will give you personalized aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.
Deep neck contouring focuses on more than skin tightening and muscle repair; it reshapes the deeper structures of the neck for a more defined, long-lasting result.
An isolated neck lift can be an excellent option on its own for people in their 30s to 40s who have good skin elasticity and want to improve their neck contours. If you have aging in your cheeks or the lower 2/3 of your face and jawline, you may also need a facelift.
SAFELipo is an advanced liposuction technique used by many expert plastic surgeons around the world and developed right here, invented at The Wall Center by Dr. Simeon Wall Jr. SAFELipo gently removes excess fat without any lumpiness or waviness typically seen with other forms of liposuction. SAFELipo can also stimulate significant skin tightening while preserving tissue structure. It provides smoother, more precise results with a much lower risk of irregularities than traditional liposuction. Learn more about the study that confirmed its safety and efficacy.
Yes, the excess fat can be purified and injected into areas of lost volume like the chin, cheeks, temples, and under-eye hollows as a natural-looking, long-lasting alternative to dermal fillers.
Our surgeons strategically place incisions in discreet locations, such as under the chin or behind the ears, to minimize visible scarring. Usually, the only incision required in an isolated neck lift is under the chin, with no scars anywhere else.
The results of deep neck contouring last approximately 10 to 15 years; however, the natural aging process will continue. To maintain your results as long as possible, minimize sun exposure and follow healthy lifestyle habits.
