The Procedure
What is a Face Lipo Treatment?
The loss of a youthful and attractive neckline can result from excess fat deposits in the neck and lower facial areas, either congenital or acquired. If the overlying skin is not severely loose and sagging, a minimally invasive procedure called Face Lipo can be performed to remove the excess fatty tissue, restoring an attractive jawline and higher neckline.
This procedure is typically done on patients under light general anesthesia through small access incisions hidden behind the ears or in the chin crease. Depending on the specific case, additional procedures such as Renuvion JPlasma or surgically tightening loose neck muscles (platysmaplasty) may be considered to create a higher decline and enhance the overall liposuction results.
How It Works
Excess fat is permanently removed in one treatment using a tiny tube called a cannula, which suctions the fat from target areas. This creates a more contoured and toned appearance.
