Liposuction & Facial Contouring
It’s Not About Weight Loss. It’s About Definition.
Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, many of us have "stubborn pockets" of fat that simply refuse to disappear. These are often genetic.
We treat Liposuction as a tool for architectural sculpting. We don't just remove fat; we reshape the body's contours to create smoother lines, sharper angles, and a more athletic or feminine silhouette.
The Secret to a Sharp Jawline.
The area under the chin (submental area) is one of the most common concerns for both men and women. A "double chin" or a heavy neck can make you look older or heavier than you actually are, hiding the definition of your jawbone.
Why Neck (submental) Liposuction is a Game-Changer:
-
Precision Contouring: Using ultra-fine micro-cannulas, carefully removes the excess fat pad under the chin and along the jawline.
-
Skin Retraction: In patients with good skin elasticity, the skin naturally tightens around the new, leaner contour after the fat is removed.
-
The "Profiloplasty" Effect: A defined jawline balances the entire face.
-
Pro Tip: This procedure is frequently combined with Chin Augmentation (implant or filler). Removing the fat below and projecting the chin forward creates the ideal "Right Angle" profile desired by models and celebrities.
-
Refining Your Silhouette.
While we specialize in facial aesthetics, we also offer targeted body contouring to harmonize your proportions.
Common Areas We Treat:
-
Abdomen & Flanks (Love Handles): Flattening the stomach and narrowing the waist.
-
Thighs (Inner/Outer): Creating a streamlined leg contour.
-
Arms: Reducing the "heavy" look of the upper arms.
Technique: We use the Tumescent Technique, the gold standard for safety. This involves infiltrating the area with a solution that numbs the tissue and minimizes bleeding, allowing for precise fat removal and faster recovery.
From Consultation to Confidence:
-
Consultation & Skin Assessment: The most important step. Liposuction requires skin that can "snap back." If your skin is very loose (e.g., after massive weight loss), [Dr. Name] may recommend a Lift (Tummy Tuck or Neck Lift) instead.
-
The Surgery:
-
Neck Lipo: Often performed under Local Anesthesia with sedation. You are awake but relaxed. Takes only 45–60 minutes.
-
Body Lipo: Usually requires General Anesthesia depending on the volume being removed.
-
-
Recovery:
-
Compression: You will wear a compression garment (a chin strap for the neck, or a specialized bodysuit for the body) to reduce swelling and help the skin adhere to the new contours.
-
Downtime:
-
Neck: Return to social life in 5–7 days.
-
Body: Return to work in 5–10 days, gym in 3–4 weeks.

FAQ about Liposuction
Have questions about scheduling or what to expect? Here are answers to common inquiries to help you feel fully prepared.
Yes. Once fat cells are suctioned out, they do not grow back. However, the remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain significant weight. Maintaining a stable weight ensures the results last a lifetime
If you are under 40-45 and have good skin quality, the skin usually retracts beautifully. If you have significant skin laxity or "turkey neck" bands, we might recommend combining Liposuction with a Neck Lift or Platysmaplasty to tighten the muscle and skin.
Liposuction incisions are tiny (2–3 mm).
Neck: Hidden in the natural crease under the chin and behind the earlobes.
Body: Placed in areas covered by underwear or bikinis.
They fade to almost nothing over time.
