WHAT IS IT?
Facial liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to eliminate excess fat and remove baggy or sagging areas, sculpting and defining the face for a refreshed, youthful appearance.
It is not uncommon for excess fat deposits to accumulate in and around the cheeks, neck and chin. These deposits can be the remnants of significant weight loss, or simply develop with age. In any case, when such deposits prove unresponsive to diet and traditional weight loss methods, facial liposuction can be an excellent treatment option.
Facial liposuction can be used to target and treat excess fat in the neck and chin area, sagging jowls, and other areas.
TYPES OF LIPOSUCTION
Types of facial liposuction include:
Neck liposuction. For patients tired of a neck with excess fat and a droopy appearance, neck liposuction may be the perfect option.
Chin liposuction. Addressing the underside of the lower jaw can help eliminate a so-called double chin. Removing excess fat in this area beautifies the transition from the neck to the jawline.
PROCEDURE
This requires light IV sedation and local anesthetic. It takes 1 hour and tiny 2 millimeter incisions for access are placed directly under the chin or behind the earlobes, with little to no visibility of scar over time.
