What is Facial Lipocontouring?

Over time, it's not uncommon for individuals to notice fat accumulations in certain facial areas, especially around the neck, jowls, and beneath the chin. These fat deposits can obscure the naturally sharp angles of the neck and jawline. Even with a dedicated diet and exercise regimen, these localized fat pockets can persist. That's where facial lipocontouring steps in. Designed to address these specific concerns, the procedure restores a youthful and chiseled look to the face.

Is Facial Lipocontouring right for you?

Ideal candidates for facial lipocontouring are those in good health with localized fat deposits in the face and neck. It is particularly beneficial for those who have achieved or are near their desired weight but struggle with stubborn fat in these areas. Importantly, candidates should approach the procedure with realistic expectations regarding its outcomes.

What can Facial Lipocontouring treat?

  • Double chin: Reduces fat accumulation under the chin.
  • Jowls: Targets sagging or droopy skin and fat around the jawline.
  • Neck fullness: Streamlines the neck by removing excess fat, enhancing its angle and profile.
  • Cheek puffiness: Reduces fatty bulges in the cheeks for a more sculpted appearance.
  • Undefined jawline: Helps in carving out a more distinct and sharp jawline by eliminating fat deposits.
  • Facial asymmetry: Balances out uneven fat distribution, making a face look more symmetrical.
  • Localized fat pockets: Addresses stubborn facial fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.

What is the procedure?

Typically, facial lipocontouring takes about an hour. After administering anesthesia for your comfort, small, strategic incisions are made in the targeted areas. A thin instrument called a cannula, is then introduced to suction out the unwanted fat. If you're combining facial liposuction with other treatments like a facelift or neck lift, this will be integrated seamlessly into the session.

What are the benefits of Facial Lipocontouring?

  • Enhanced facial definition: Removes unwanted fat deposits, accentuating the natural contours of the face.
  • Youthful appearance: Addresses signs of aging like sagging skin or jowls, creating a fresher look.
  • Minimal scarring: Small, strategically placed incisions result in minimal, virtually unnoticeable scars.
  • Quick recovery: Compared to more extensive surgeries, facial lipocontouring typically has a shorter recovery time.
  • Long-lasting results: Once fat cells are removed, they don't regenerate in the treated area, ensuring long-term effects.
  • Boosted self-confidence: Achieving desired facial aesthetics can significantly improve self-esteem and body image.
  • Safe and effective: When performed by a qualified surgeon, the procedure is safe with predictable outcomes.

Facial Lipocontouring FAQ

What is the recovery after Facial Lipocontouring?

Post-procedure, expect to wear a compression garment on the treated areas for about a week, helping to minimize swelling and support the healing tissues. If sutures are employed, they will usually be removed within a week. The recovery period typically spans one to two weeks, depending on individual healing rates. Patients will receive detailed post-operative care instructions, and pain management will be addressed with prescribed medications.

It's essential to limit strenuous physical activities during the recovery phase. A follow-up visit will be scheduled within the month to track your healing progress and assess the results.

What is the cost of Facial Lipocontouring?

The cost of the facial lipocontouring procedure varies based on the specific areas being treated. Combining facial liposuction with other cosmetic procedures will influence the total investment.
