Neck Liposuction in Washington D.C.


Excess fat on the neck and around the jawline can dramatically impact the overall appearance of your face. Not only does it make your neck look shorter, it can cause your jaw and chin to appear weak and prematurely age you. Using advanced submental liposuction techniques, our board-certified plastic surgeons can reduce fatty tissue beneath the chin, under the jowl, and along the upper neck to help redefine the transition from head to neck and restore a slimmer, more youthful appearance. Neck liposuction is popular with both the men and women we see from Washington, DC; Chevy Chase and Bethesda, MD; Arlington and Fairfax, VA; and surrounding areas.

What to Expect from Neck Liposuction

During your personalized consultation, our surgeons will listen to your concerns and discuss your options with you. If submental liposuction is the best choice for you and you feel comfortable moving forward with surgery, your procedure will be scheduled.

Your procedure will be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation. Your surgeon will begin by making small, inconspicuous incisions that are easily hidden, often located in the natural crease below the chin or even behind the earlobe. Through these incisions, your surgeon will use a small, hollow tube called a cannula to suction excess fat from the area, carefully following the natural line of your jaw and neck to ensure natural-looking results*.

Once the desired results* have been achieved and your surgeon has sculpted a more pleasing neck contour, your incisions will be sutured and dressed. You will be able to return home the same day, though it is recommended that you have a designated driver and someone to help you out for the remainder of the day until the effects of anesthesia or IV sedation wear off.

A Reputation Built on Results

  • I had a really good experience with Dr Albino. He did chin liposuction and breast augmentation for me. He is very professional and knowledgeable! Answered all my questions. It was easy to communicate with him. After the consultation I felt like I was in a good hands. His coordinator Shiloh was really nice and helpful . I am happy with the results!

  • Fantastic experience with Dr. Kanuri! He’s very kind, listens, makes you feel very comfortable, and let’s you ask lots of questions. I never felt rushed or pushed into anything. The results of my neck liposuction were fantastic, and the incision sites healed beautifully. Would recommend Dr. Kanuri highly!

  • I highly recommend Dr. Albino. Dr. Albino was very patient and thorough in addressing my issues regarding a facelift. He was very honest and deemed it unnecessary at this time, I appreciate his candor and honesty in not attempting to sell me on an unnecessary procedure. I will continue to have any procedures at this office in the future as his staff is also very nice.

  • When I first began my search for a plastic surgeon, I realized that there are a lot of plastic surgeons available in this area but only a small few seem to really enjoy, talk about or specialize in facelifts. When I met Dr Kanuri for my initial consultation, I immediately connected with him, not to mention his wonderful staff, Sherry and Angel, and knew I trusted his insight and skills to do my surgery. He was very honest in telling me what he could not achieve and gave me his recommendations on how to get the best results for me. I’m 3 months post facelift and only wish I had done this sooner. Post care has been great and Dr Kanuri has responded to every concern or question almost immediately. If you are looking for the best surgeon with a warm and caring manner, Dr. Kanuri should be on your list.

  • The pre-op meeting with Dr. Kanuri and the OR Nurse was very positive, reassuring, and thorough. They addressed all my questions and concerns. It's a very significant decision to have facelift surgery, and I felt confident that Dr. Kanuri and the professionals involved are highly experienced and knowledgeable.

  • I had breast lift with Motiva, mini implant and flank Lipo with Dr. Rao- He’s done a great job. I’m postop and feel the results have been really well done. It’ll take a while for me to see the final results, but I feel confident that they will look great. Bedside manner and expertise have all been top-notch.

  • I am 12 weeks post-lipo and I’m very satisfied with my results. I’m still healing, but I’m truly happy with how things are looking so far. It took me time to make my decision because I was genuinely scared, but I never felt any pressure from the team — only reassuring advice, patience, and encouragement. I shopped around and compared several locations, and CPS clearly stood out for providing the best customer service. Dr. Kanuri was patient and took the time to answer all of my questions, which made the entire experience very reassuring. The post-surgery follow-up has been on point — this is not a place that just collects payment and checks boxes. They truly make your care a personal commitment. The first days post-op, Dr. Kanuri personally followed up with me daily via text to ensure I was doing well and to see if I needed anything. Choosing CPS and Dr. Kanuri was the best decision I made for a boost of self-confidence. I highly recommend them — Dr. Kanuri is truly the best.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Arjun Kanuri and the team at The Centers for Plastic Surgery! Dr. Kanuri performed liposuction, J-Plasma, and Aveli on me, and the results have been absolutely life-changing. He customized the combination of these procedures to match my goals — and I’m blown away by the transformation. I used to struggle with a perimenopausal belly and legs that always made me self-conscious. I hadn’t worn shorts in over 10 years — and now I’m confidently wearing them again for the first time in forever. I feel youthful, fit, and more like myself than I have in years! Throughout the process, he was incredibly warm, patient, and attentive. He really took the time to listen to what I wanted, explain the options, and walk me through everything. Any time I had a question or needed reassurance, he was there — supportive, kind, and professional. Dr. Kanuri isn’t just an exceptionally talented plastic surgeon — he truly cares. If you’re thinking about body contouring or anything similar, I wholeheartedly recommend him. I feel confident, comfortable, and happy in my skin again — and that’s priceless.

  • Dr Fleury did a great job doing a breast revision using fat grafting from liposuction from my legs and torso. One of my breast implants ruptured in February ( 20 years old ) and Dr. Fleury and his staff made sure I had the orders in place for a mammogram which I was due for and making the surgery date as soon as possible. Erin, coordinator, was in great writing up the detailed surgery options. Alisa and Alexandra, nurses, were excellent in assisting at my office visits. Sherry, a long time Coordinator of CPS greeted us on day of surgery, Diane was a fantastic surgical nurse as was the anesthesiologist. Dr. Fleury, who is very positive and professional with a good sense of humor was clear about explaining the procedure did an excellent job with the surgery. Breasts are perfectly symmetrical and great job on using the slimming liposuction. 5 stars for CPS!!!

  • My sister and I both had facelift procedures (lower face/neck) with Dr. Kanuri and are extremely happy with the results. Dr. Kanuri put us at ease with his calm demeanor and knowledgeable and professional approach. In addition to the facelifts, he recommended fat transfer to fill out areas that had thinned out with age. We are so happy to look again like how we feel - i.e., with some years removed! Dr. Kanuri explained everything clearly in the pre-procedure appointments, and after the surgery he followed up to be sure everything was ok and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. He even provided his personal phone number. The nurses, anesthesiologists and staff members we dealt with were also very attentive, professional and helpful, and the office is sparkling and beautiful. The whole place inspires confidence! We can highly recommend Dr. Kanuri and CPS. A friend of ours had had a facelift with him and she looked great, so we went in for a consultation and immediately decided that this was the place and Dr. Kanuri was our doctor. We’re so happy to have found him. Thank you Dr. Kanuri and everyone at CPS!

  • Dr. Albino is truly a master of his craft and considered the top plastic surgeon in the DC area for good reason! I could not be happier with my results and experience. I have had multiple surgeries with Dr. Albino including facelift, blepharoplasty, laser skin resurfacing, breast lift, liposuction, and abdominoplasty. These were performed in different surgeries over the past 5 years but each time I have been thrilled with my results. The Center for Plastic Surgery is the all-around best practice with amazing staff. From the very first consultation, I felt confident with their expertise, attention to detail and genuine care. Whether I went in for skincare, injections, consultations for surgery, the entire staff was extremely knowledgeable, caring and true professionals. Everyone was so helpful, everything was always explained so well, lots of options available and always offered a clear understanding and expectation of desired results. I can't say enough good things about the Doctors and complete staff!

  • I recently underwent a transformative rhinoplasty and neck lift procedure performed by Dr. Arjun Kanuri, and I am beyond thrilled with the outstanding results. Dr. Kanuri’s expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail truly set him apart. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Kanuri and his team demonstrated a commitment to ensuring my comfort and satisfaction. The rhinoplasty beautifully enhanced the harmony of my facial features, and the neck lift provided a rejuvenated and natural appearance. Dr. Kanuri’s skillful hands and artistic approach exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Arjun Kanuri for anyone considering cosmetic procedures; his talent and dedication to patient satisfaction make him a standout in the field. Thank you, Dr. Kanuri, for your exceptional work and the renewed confidence you’ve given me. Eric T.

  • The best plastic surgeon in the DMV. The attention and care he gives his patients is world-class. He is very attentive to what his patient wants and is looking to accomplish. Dr. Kanuri did my mommy makeover (breast augmentation w/lift, tummy tuck w/ ab reconstruction, and lipo 360). In my mid-40s and I finally have the body of my dreams! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to enhance - improve - revise!

  • I just want to share how pleased I was with my experience with Dr. Kanuri. My results were very natural, I could not be happier! He was very patient with me as I was anxious! He listened to me very carefully and did everything he said he would do. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Kanuri. I have had facials done and the people have said that my lack of scarring is like nothing they have ever seen with clients that have had a facelift.

  • Dr Rao and his entire staff were so polite and professional right from the start! Any questions I had, even after the procedure were always answered quickly and thoroughly. From a surgical standpoint, the day of went off so smoothly, everyone was very professional and caring. I am beyond pleased with my results so far(at present I am 5 weeks post abdominoplasty with liposuction) and I cannot wait to see the final product as I continue to heal. The incision was so precise and healed beautifully and I have had minimal swelling! The office sends you home with a ton of information regarding getting ready for and recovering after procedure. I felt very prepared and not nervous at all when surgery day came along!

    Rachel Lawrence
  • Dr. Kanuri is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. He has done a couple procedures for me with incredible results. From tags removed to liposuction to Botox. I have talked to him about other procedures and feel confident about him conducting them.

    Sean O'Neill
  • I can't say enough good things about Dr. Albino and his exceptional staff. I spent a long time researching different surgeons in the Northern VA area. I am so happy I went with Dr. Albino. From my initial consult, pre-surgery appointment, day of surgery and post op appointments, I felt I was in good hands. Dr. Albino explains everything in detail, is reassuring, confident, and has a great sense of humor. I found the detailed post surgery care packet CPS provides to be extremely helpful. I also appreciated Dr. Albino reaching out the morning after my surgery to check on me. I had an extended abdominoplasty and lipo. After two c-sections years ago and recently losing a significant amount of weight, I had excess skin. I am now about eight weeks out and I could not be happier with the results - even better than I thought possible. Dr. Albino is at the top of his game and I highly recommend him!

  • I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Kanuri and his team every step of the way with my face and neck lift. Dr Kanuri DID A FANTASTIC JOB and I could not be happier!!! I seriously look AMAZING. Besides being a fantastic plastic surgeon, Dr Kanuri is professional with a very very good bedside manner and totally cares about his patients. From the staff to the facility, I definitely rate CPS and Dr Kanuri a 10 out of 10 and I Highly recommend Dr Kanuri and his team for any of my plastic surgery needs!

  • Thank you to Dr Kanuri and the team at CPS for the personalized and individualized care received during my procedure. I chose Dr Kanuri after I had received consultation from 3 different Drs.. From initial meeting Dr Kanuri was attentive and listened to my wants for a tummy tuck and liposuction. Dr Kanuri made me very comfortable by going over expectations and what to expect after, he was very professional and caring. I was very impressed on the second day post -Op when i saw my body in the mirror. Dr Kanuri and his team called and texted me several times daily to check on me upon getting home after the procedure and for the first three days post-op. Best money spent for me ,as a Nurse Practitioner I will recommend Dr Kanuri to anyone looking to do the same procedure.

  • I am absolutely thrilled with my results! Dr Rao really knows how to contour a woman’s body. My lipo and tummy tuck look so good and I know as the months go on it will only get better! The staff is wonderful & Dr. Rao is very friendly and really spends time talking with you and listening to your concerns. He gave me so much input on how he was going to shape my figure.

Am I a Good Candidate for Neck Liposuction?

Submental liposuction can be a great option for improving the appearance of an aging neck or addressing excess fatty deposits under the chin. Candidates who benefit most from this procedure meet the following criteria:

  • Have good skin laxity and do not have excess or sagging neck skin
  • Wish to reduce fat around the jaw, chin, and neck
  • Are non-smokers or willing to quit in the weeks before and after surgery
  • Have reasonable expectations of the results* that can be achieved

After Your Neck Liposuction Procedure

After your procedure, you will likely experience some discomfort and slight swelling in the area, which should resolve within a few days. You may be required to wear a special wrap to both promote healing and preserve your results*. Most patients return to work within a week, though strenuous activity that raises your blood pressure or involves quick head movement should be avoided for one to two weeks.
