Key Benefits of Microsuction

- Postpones the need for invasive cosmetic neck surgery
- Carries a low risk of complications
- Requires minimal recovery time
Ideal Candidates for Microsuction
Microsuction is an excellent option for individuals who still have good elasticity in their skin and want to treat smaller areas of unwanted fat. They should be in overall good health, maintain proper diet and nutrition, and avoid smoking. Good candidates have realistic expectations for the procedure and fully understand the risks and recovery process.
