Facial Liposuction (Submental or Lower Face)
Facial liposuction in the lower face and/or the submentum (the chin/neck area) involves only small areas and a small amount of fat removal. Fat is removed using a small tube that is inserted through a small skin incision. The result is a more contoured and sculpted look. The procedure is typically done under local anesthetic combined with oral sedation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Facial Liposuction
Facial liposuction is quite simply the targeted removal of fat cells from specific areas of the lower face and/or under the chin/neck.
Once the fat has been removed, the area is less bulky and more contoured. Clients tend to look both younger and thinner
A compression garment will be used for a few days after the procedure in order to keep swelling to a minimum and improve the healing process. Usually, clients can return to normal activities about a week after the treatment, though there may be some residual swelling and sensitivity for a few weeks.
Facial liposuction can be performed with a local anesthetic and light oral sedation. Pain is usually minimal and is easily controlled with Tylenol or Ibuprofen.
