The neck is one of those certain areas of the body that can accumulate fat that is incredibly hard to lose, despite leading a healthy lifestyle. This accumulation of fat around the neck causes individuals to look heavier than in reality, and gives a more aged appearance. Aside from neck lifts or face lifts, there are procedures that can target this area and allow you to regain self-confidence.
Dr. Zakhary performs Liposuction on the neck in Calgary, Alberta. This is a popular form of plastic surgery and can be used to streamline, and contour the neck, resulting in a more attractive and overall youthful appearance. It is usually combined with facelift, neck lift or chin implant or augmentation surgery to achieve the best results.
The neck liposuction is performed in Dr. Kristina Zakhary’s pristine facility in Calgary, given that it is a common cosmetic surgery procedure so it is not required to be done in a hospital. This surgical procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis, under general anesthesia.
You will usually be required to wear an elastic dressing for several days following the procedure to provide support and to maintain your new shape. The final results of neck liposuction will generally be seen approximately 6 weeks following the procedure and can take up to 6 months for final results.

After rhinoplasty, eating becomes more about comfort than rules. For the first few days, most patients naturally lean toward soft, simple food — not because they have to, but because anything else just feels like effort. If meals are easy to chew, not too salty, and you’re drinking enough fluids, you’re already doing most of what matters. The rest is just easing back into normal eating without pushing it too early.
Thick nasal skin does not prevent a successful rhinoplasty, but it changes how the result appears and how long it takes to see it. The structure underneath can be reshaped precisely, but the skin softens that definition and holds swelling longer, especially at the tip. Most patients still achieve a clear improvement, just not the same sharpness or timeline seen with thinner skin.
Yes! Septoplasty and rhinoplasty can be done in the same surgery, and in many cases, it’s the more logical approach. If the internal structure of the nose is affecting breathing and the outer shape is also a concern, separating the procedures rarely makes sense. That said, this is not automatically the right choice for everyone. The decision depends on anatomy, symptoms, and expectations, not just convenience.
A nose thread lift is a non-surgical treatment that uses dissolvable threads to subtly lift and shape the nose. It works best for mild to moderate concerns, like a low bridge, slight droop at the tip, or minor asymmetry. It does not replace surgical rhinoplasty but can have devastating risks.
Almost nobody has a symmetrical face. Not even close. Period. If you split a face down the middle and mirror each side, the results look artificial. That is because human anatomy is not mirrored. The skull is not perfectly even. Muscle pull differs side to side. We chew more on one side. We sleep on one side. We age unevenly. So the goal of facial symmetry surgery is not perfection. It is balance.
