For many patients, facial liposuction is a safer alternative to more invasive and risky procedures like a face lift. By removing small amounts of fat with surgical precision using techniques like laser liposuction, a patient can enjoy a slimmer and younger looking face. Facial liposuction is not only popular with women. For a male patient it can offers more definition for a chiseled, manly look.
Facial Treatment Areas
The most common areas of the face treated with liposuction surgery include areas around the cheek bone and jaw line. Popular sub-mental treatment areas include the chin, jowls and neck. Very minor adjustments to these areas can make a dramatic impression which is why this procedure is so effective.
Cheek Liposuction
By removing small fat deposits in key areas around the cheeks and allowing the skin to tighten over the space left by the removed fat the face will look more youthful, fresh and well rested. This is most effective for patients with elasticity remaining in their skin. Aged or damaged skin will not react as desirably and a face lift or other restorative procedure might be better for such a patient. The results of facial liposuction will last longer than any injection or lift.
Jaw and Chin Liposuction
Liposuction of the jaw line can help produce a slimmer face which is often associated with youth. For men it can provide the chiseled look and is often performed as a complement to chin liposuction.
Chin liposuction will reduce the size of a chin and improve the silhouette of a face. It can also be very effective in removing or reducing a double chin. This is actually one of the most popular treatments because many patients who would otherwise never consider liposuction want to remove the double chin that they have had to live with their entire lives.
Jowl and Neck Liposuction
The underside of the chin contains loose skin that can start to sag as a person ages. Sagging jowls can easily be corrected with liposuction surgery as the fat is removed making the area flatter and less prominent.
Accumulated fat in the neck can cause unsightly neck rolls. Neck liposuction to remove the excess fatty tissue in the area will create a more aesthetically pleasing neck. It can reduce the width as well as visible rolls in the neck.
Facial Liposuction Cost
The total cost for a typical procedure can range anywhere from $2,500 up to $6,000.The actual cost of facial liposuction will depend on many factors such as the physical location, the particular liposuction technique used and the size of the treatment area. In cases where multiple treatment areas are necessary for optimal results, the price of the second treatment area will usually be discounted by most plastic surgeons. Schedule a consultation session with a plastic surgeon in your area to get a more accurate estimate of what your liposuction surgery goals will cost.
