Excess fat in specific areas of the body can be challenging to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. This is especially true for the face, where stubborn fat can accumulate around the chin and neck, creating the appearance of a double chin or a fuller face.

At White Hill Clinic in Sydney, we offer face liposuction procedures that may help improve facial contours, potentially giving you a more defined and youthful appearance. Our experienced team ensures each facial liposuction surgery is conducted safely and effectively, with your individual needs in mind.

What is Face Liposuction?

Face liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the face, most commonly the chin, neck, and jawline. This procedure targets:

  • Chin Liposuction: Reduces fat under the chin to eliminate a double chin and create a more sculpted jawline.
  • Neck Liposuction: Removes fat from the neck area to improve the neck’s contour and create a smoother transition from the face to the neck.
  • Chin and Neck Liposuction: Combines both procedures

Face liposuction focuses on removing fatty tissue that may not respond to traditional weight loss methods, potentially helping to create a slimmer and more defined facial profile.

What Are the Benefits of Face Liposuction?

Face liposuction offers several potential benefits, including:

  • Enhanced Facial Contours: Creates a more defined jawline and neck, reducing the appearance of a double chin.
  • Potential Quick Noticeable Results: Noticeable changes often appear shortly after the procedure, with continued improvement as swelling subsides.
  • Minimal Scarring: The procedure involves small incisions, which usually result in minimal scarring that is easily concealed.

Am I a Good Candidate for Face Liposuction?

You might be a good candidate for face liposuction if:

  • You have excess fat in the chin, neck, or jawline area that has not responded to diet and exercise.
  • You have good skin elasticity, which helps ensure smooth and natural-looking results.
  • You are in overall good health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
  • You are a non-smoker as non-smokers are generally better candidates as smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of complications.
  • You have certain chronic medical conditions that may not be suitable for elective surgeries. Your suitability will be assessed during your consultation.

Possible Risks or Side Effects

As with any cosmetic procedure, face liposuction comes with some risks, including:

  • Swelling and Bruising: Common side effects that typically subside within a few weeks.
  • Infection: Although rare, any surgical procedure carries a risk of infection, which can be minimised by following aftercare instructions.
  • Asymmetry: In some cases, minor asymmetry may occur, which can usually be corrected with additional treatment if necessary.
  • Numbness: Temporary numbness in the treated areas is common and generally resolves as healing progresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients experience a recovery period of about one week, during which swelling and bruising are common. While you may return to work and light activities within a few days, it’s crucial to avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks. Full results are usually visible after a few months, as residual swelling subsides and your skin adjusts to the new contours.

Yes, face liposuction can often be combined with other facial procedures, such as a facelift and neck lift. Combining procedures can enhance overall results, providing a more comprehensive rejuvenation of the face and neck. Your surgeon will discuss the best approach during your consultation to ensure your aesthetic goals are met.

The fat cells removed during face liposuction are permanently gone, meaning they won’t grow back. However, it’s important to maintain a stable weight after the procedure, as significant weight gain can cause the remaining fat cells in the treated area to expand. Adopting a healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results long-term.

Face liposuction involves small incisions, usually made in inconspicuous areas such as under the chin or behind the ears. These incisions are typically very small, resulting in minimal scarring that is easily hidden. With proper care, these scars usually fade over time and become barely noticeable.

Face liposuction is generally safe for all skin types; however, the elasticity and quality of your skin can influence the results. Those with good skin elasticity tend to see smoother and more natural-looking results. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your skin type and discuss whether face liposuction is the most suitable option for you.
