A Sleek & Elegant Face

Over time, fat can settle under the chin and create a double chin and jowls. Working out and eating right are part of any balanced life, but they are sometimes insufficient when it comes to eliminating submental fat. Chubby cheeks are another way fat can affect your overall attractiveness. 

Full cheeks are a sign of childhood that some people retain even into advanced age, and are largely unchangeable except through surgical means. Facial liposuction is a safe and common way to achieve a contoured, defined face.

Facial Liposuction Overview

What Is Facial Liposuction? 

Just like liposuction of the body, facial liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that gently and strategically removes fat from select areas of the mid-face and neck. Facial liposuction is usually an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia and requires a great deal more precision and attention to aesthetics than liposuction performed on the body. 

Benefits Of Facial Liposuction

There can be significant improvements to a patient’s facial shape and contour with facial liposuction, as the surgeon can carefully remove deliberate amounts of fat from specific parts of the face to create beautiful curves and angles which were not there prior. Facial liposuction can also be an easier way to make a patient’s face more symmetrical and proportional without changing their bone structure.

Removing unwanted facial fat with facial liposuction is safe and effective. Facial Liposuction is minimally invasive and does not require the incisions and recovery period that facial implants do, and can be done in-office under local anesthesia. The results of facial liposuction are also long-lasting.

What Is The Recovery Process Like?

A huge advantage of facial liposuction is that it does not require a lengthy recovery period. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within a week. After the procedure, patients should rest and avoid vigorous exercise, bending over, or carrying heavy objects until cleared by their surgeon. 

Swelling and bruising are normal and should subside over the course of a week or so. Each patient will receive a customized recovery plan created by their physician, and they should follow it carefully to ensure the best results.
