Facial liposuction is an effective cosmetic procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from the chin, jawline, and neck. Targeting these problem areas can enhance facial definition and create a more balanced, attractive appearance. At Guelph Facial Plastics, we provide tailored facial liposuction treatments in London that offer natural-looking results.
The Procedure
The procedure typically lasts between 1 to 2 hours. Local anesthesia or sedation is used, depending on the patient’s preference and the extent of the treatment area. Using a small cannula (a thin, hollow tube), the surgeon suctions out unwanted fat cells through small incisions made in discreet areas, typically under the chin or near the jawline. Fat is then carefully removed to create a balanced, natural look. The process is precise, allowing for targeted fat removal to enhance facial contours while preserving a natural appearance.
The fat removed during facial liposuction is permanently gone, but maintaining a stable weight is essential to preserving the results. Significant weight fluctuations can affect facial fat distribution and may alter the procedure's results. After the procedure, patients may experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the treated areas, particularly around the chin, cheeks, and jawline. Dr. Brace will provide pain medication to manage any discomfort. Compression garments or bandages are often applied to help minimize swelling and support the newly contoured areas.
