What is Face & Neck Liposuction?

Face and neck liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess unwanted fat from the face and neck area. If you’re struggling with stubborn fat in the face and neck area that doesn’t seem to budge no matter how much you diet and exercise you do, this surgery may be the perfect solution for your needs. This liposuction procedure can also be combined with a number of other surgical and nonsurgical procedures for the ultimate facial rejuvenation.

Patient Testimonial

Incisionless Otoplasty, Xeomin

Dr. H is an exceptional physician! I visited her for Xeomin injections and a consultation for Otoplasty (ear pinning surgery). She was professional, warm, and attentive, answering all my questions and ensuring I felt at ease. I wanted a “frozen but natural” look, and she guided me through my concerns without any pressure. The injections were quick and painless, and the results were exactly what I hoped for. As for the Otoplasty, I had avoided it my entire life (I’m 39) because surgery felt too invasive. Dr. H introduced me to an incision-less option, and I immediately signed up. The procedure was done in the clinic with only a numbing injection—I felt nothing! I couldn’t be happier with the results and am so grateful to have found such a skilled and compassionate surgeon.

What are the Benefits of Face & Neck Liposuction?

Some of the benefits you can look forward to when you choose Dr. Tania Hassanzadeh for your face and neck liposuction include:

  • More contoured and defined appearance: With the removal of excess fat, you can expect to have a more contoured and defined jawline, neck, and facial appearance. Double chin, no more.
  • Less invasive than a facelift: Face and neck liposuction can offer a more youthful appearance like a facelift, but the procedure is much less invasive and requires a much shorter downtime.
  • Natural results: With Dr. Hassanzadeh’s expertise and level of detail, you can expect natural-looking results. You will never look lumpy, stretched, or overdone. 
  • Long-lasting results: As the removed fat cells will not return after the procedure, you can look forward to long-lasting results. That said, you will still need to stick to a healthy lifestyle.
  • Boost in confidence: Most patients notice a significant boost in confidence after their face and neck liposuction surgery.

The Face & Neck Liposuction Procedure

To start your face and/or neck liposuction procedure, we’ll first start by administering local or general anesthesia for your comfort. Plenty of numbing medication will be injected both to limit discomfort and to facilitate the procedure. From there, Dr. Hassanzadeh will make tiny needle pokes around the neck, jawline, or behind the earlobes. She will then insert a small cannula to loosen and suction out the excess fat, sculpting and contouring the face and neck area. The procedure takes anywhere from 1-2 hours.

Face & Neck Liposuction Recovery

After your surgery, you will likely have some redness, swelling, bruising, and numbness, but those side effects will dissipate over the next few weeks as you recover and heal. Depending on where the fat was removed, you may need to wear a chin strap for a week or two to ease swelling and help the healing process. You will need to take at least a week off work and should be able to return to full activity after two weeks.

You may see some results immediately, but it will take 3-6 months to see the full results.

Pairs Well With…

Dr. Hassanzadeh often performs face and neck liposuction concurrently with other procedures. This allows fat to be harvested for grafting during a fat transfer procedure. Face and neck liposuction also enhances the results of rejuvenation procedures, such as facelift, deep plane facelift, and FaceTite. Her patients frequently request buccal fat removal to optimize facial contouring.

Who is a Candidate?

Ideal candidates for face and neck liposuction are patients in generally good health who have realistic expectations, nonsmokers, and those looking to address unwanted fat in the face and/or neck area. The procedure is not considered a weight loss procedure and is meant for those at a stable weight with good skin elasticity. We don’t recommend this surgery for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding or those with certain medical conditions.
