Are you bothered by excess fat around your cheeks, chin, and neck? Your face says a lot about you as a person. In many ways, it provides others with a lasting impression of who you are, how you feel, and what you think. Diet and exercise can help many areas of the body, but nothing seems to affect those fatty deposits on your cheeks, chin, jawline, or neck. These areas don’t usually respond to diet and exercise. Sometimes, a sensible diet and dedicated exercise routine does not decrease this stubborn fat. Many women and men in Los Angeles turn to facial liposuction as a solution.
Liposuction surgery is performed to actually remove unwanted localized deposits of fat cells from the body. Originally, liposuction was designed for body contouring. Your Los Angeles plastic surgeon uses a special tube called a cannula. The cannula is inserted through a tiny incision placed in an inconspicuous location on the face or neck. Using a suction syringe or pump attached to the cannula, the fat cells are extracted.
The result is a resculpting of bulging areas into more attractive and more youthful facial contours. In younger patients, facial liposuction is often effective on its own. In older patients, it may produce optimal results when combined with a face lift, brow lift, eyelid surgery, or nose surgery. It is often performed with the addition of chin or cheek implants for better definition. At Marina Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles facial liposuction can make a dramatic change in the way you look by removing the excess fat from your cheeks, chin, and neck.

Most men and women who have localized facial fatty deposits are good candidates for facial liposuction in Los Angeles provided they:
Yes! After puberty, we do not create many new fat cells. When you gain weight, you expand the fat cells that you have. Facial liposuction removes fat cells to improve your facial contour. Should you gain weight after liposuction, it will go to the fat cells that remain in your body. The localized fatty deposits that existed prior to liposuction can no longer balloon up out of proportion to the surrounding areas.
One procedure is usually sufficient. However, some patients require a fine-tuning procedure at a future date.
If excess fatty tissue in your face or neck is bothering you, facial liposuction may be your answer. Your doctor can help you determine what the best treatment will be to obtain your desired results.
The changes following facial liposuction can be dramatic for our Los Angeles patients, as illustrated in our Before & After Photos. The use of smaller cannulas allows the fibrous connections between your skin and body to remain. These connections will contract over time. As a result, excessive neck skin folds are so rare that many patients avoid the necessity for surgical skin removal by having excellent results with facial liposuction alone.
One or two small stitches may be needed to close the tiny incisions. You will wear a snug elastic dressing over the treated area for a few days, and you may be advised to wear it at night for a few weeks. You will go home after the procedure and rest for at least 24 hours. Mild pain relievers may be needed along with cold packs for a few days. After facial liposuction Los Angeles patients often resume normal activities after 2 to 4 days.
