Facial liposuction

When there is an excessive volume of fatty tissue beneath the skin (superficial fat), particularly over the cheeks or under the chin, liposuction can help to reduce it and create a more slender or defined appearance.

This procedure is primarily suitable for the lower part of the cheeks, the jawline, and beneath the chin. Liposuction on the upper part of the cheeks is generally less successful and comes with higher risks.

The treatment is performed using fine instruments, either on their own or in combination with energy devices that soften the fatty tissue. Alternative options to liposuction include non-surgical methods such as cryo-lipolysis and injections that decrease the volume of fatty tissue.

Although there are areas of overlap between surgical and non-surgical techniques, utilising 3D imaging to design the target changes can help to decide on the most suitable intervention.

Facial liposuction can be conducted under local anaesthesia, local anaesthesia with intravenous sedation, or general anaesthesia, depending on the individual's needs and preferences.
