Facial Liposuction

Facial Liposuction Procedure – Beverly Hills, Los Angeles

Clients who are candidates for facial liposuction typically report that they are sick of their double chin and/or jowls.  They have tried diet and exercise to reduce the fat in these areas, but they are stubborn and won’t go away.  We can use facial liposuction to remove localized fat deposits from the jowls and chin areas.  Though this procedure is often performed along with other procedures like a facelift or rhinoplasty, it can be performed on its own. The ideal candidates for facial liposuction include physically healthy men and women who are of normal body weight but are bothered by areas of the face that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Facial liposuction is typically a brief procedure taking less than an hour to complete and is often performed withlocal anesthesia. There are pinpoint incisions requiring no suturing or only a single suture, thus resulting in no visible scarring. Once the incisions are made, fat is then extracted through the incisions with the help of a vacuum. The goal is to have a tighter neck with a nice angle at the transition point between the chin and neck. The procedure has minimal discomfort and is tolerated well. You are able to go home the same day.

The recovery after facial liposuction is generally a rapid one with minimal discomfort. Most clients only require Tylenol after the procedure. A small bandage may be applied after surgery which can be removed after the first or second day. Some swelling can occur and this will improve as time goes on. You are able to return to work and other normal activities within five days though it will be at least ten days before more strenuous activities may be resumed. The results of facial liposuction are generally long lasting. You should avoid any extreme changes in body weight as this could affect the results.

Facial liposuction is generally a simple procedure that eliminates the stubborn fat in the neck with minimal downtime.
