Facial liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from key facial areas like the chin, jawline, cheeks, and neck. This procedure delivers immediate and long-lasting results, helping you achieve a youthful, refined facial contour with minimal downtime and natural-looking outcomes.
Whether you're struggling with a double chin, sagging jowls, or poorly defined facial features, facial liposuction offers a permanent solution for enhancing your profile and restoring confidence.
Facial liposuction, also known as submental liposuction when performed under the chin, involves the insertion of a thin cannula through tiny, discreet incisions. Using gentle suction, excess fat is removed, resulting in improved definition of the face. The treatment is typically performed under local anesthesia, making it safer and more comfortable than traditional surgical procedures.
This procedure is frequently combined with complementary treatments such as:
· Facelift surgery – to tighten sagging skin
· Botox injections – to smooth fine lines and reduce wrinkles
· Dermal fillers – to restore volume in areas like cheeks, under eyes, and jawline
When performed together, these techniques create a comprehensive facial rejuvenation, restoring harmony and balance to your overall appearance.
Facial liposuction is ideal for patients who:
· Have excess fat in the chin, neck, or jawline that doesn't respond to diet or exercise
· Desire sharper facial features and a slimmer, more youthful look
· Prefer a minimally invasive alternative to full facelift surgery
· Want immediate results with minimal scarring and downtime
· Quick procedure (30–60 minutes)
· Minimal and hidden incisions
· Faster recovery compared to major facial surgeries
· Permanent removal of fat cells
· Boost in self-confidence and facial balance
· Can be combined with skin-tightening or injectable treatments for dramatic results
Compared to non-invasive options like CoolSculpting or Kybella, facial liposuction often provides more dramatic, targeted, and longer-lasting results in just one session.
You may be a good candidate for facial liposuction if you:
· Are in good physical and emotional health
· Have firm skin with decent elasticity
· Are a non-smoker or willing to quit before/after surgery
· Have localized fat deposits and want permanent removal
· Maintain a stable weight near your ideal range
· Have realistic expectations and understand the limitations
· Pregnancy or breastfeeding
· Uncontrolled health issues such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease
· Poor skin elasticity (which may benefit more from a facelift or radiofrequency therapy)
The treatment area is numbed to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience.
Tiny incisions (usually 2–3 mm) are made beneath the chin or behind the ears.
A slender cannula is inserted through the incisions to gently suction out fat deposits.
A custom-fitted compression garment is applied post-surgery to minimize swelling, assist with skin retraction, and promote healing.
Duration: 30 to 60 minutes
Recovery Time: 5 to 10 days
Back to Work: Many patients resume normal activities within a few days
Although facial liposuction is generally considered safe when performed by experienced professionals, it's important to be aware of potential complications:
· Swelling, bruising, or redness
· Temporary numbness or tingling
· Mild asymmetry or skin irregularities
· Submental depression (indentation under the chin, rare)
· Risk of infection (rare with proper care)
Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in facial contouring minimizes these risks and maximizes aesthetic outcomes.
Leading clinics now offer advanced technologies to improve safety, comfort, and precision:
· Laser-assisted liposuction: Melts fat and stimulates collagen production for better skin retraction
· Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (VASER): Breaks down fat selectively with minimal damage to surrounding tissue
· Radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL): Adds skin-tightening benefits for patients with mild skin laxity
These techniques are especially beneficial for patients who want refined, scarless results with improved skin tone.

Is facial liposuction painful?
No. The procedure is done under local anesthesia. Mild soreness or tightness may be experienced post-op but is usually managed with pain relief.
How long do the results last?
Results are permanent if you maintain your weight. Fat cells removed through liposuction do not regenerate.
Can it be combined with other procedures?
Yes. It’s often done alongside facelift, neck lift, Botox, or dermal fillers to enhance overall results.
Are the scars noticeable?
No. Incisions are tiny and discreetly placed under the chin or behind the ears. With proper healing, they are barely visible.
How soon can I go back to work or travel?
Light work is often resumed within 3–5 days. Travel is safe after 7–10 days depending on your healing process.
