Facelift, Lipo and Liposculpting

Perfect your facelift and facial profile with a sleek, new jawline

Facelift procedures often require some form of liposuction or liposculpting to help perfect the patient's profile by removing excess fat and tightening the sagging skin in the lower face, jaw, chin and neckline. As a part of your facelift procedure, your surgeon may recommend liposculpture to refine those areas and features and to improve the outcome of the facelift procedure. As people age, gravity prevails and naturally the skin falls, loosens and sags around the lower areas of the face, jowls, chin and neck.

Having a facelift procedure will reverse the effects of gravity and time, especially in the higher regions of the face by pulling back the tissue and skin during the facelift surgery. However, your surgeon may ask you to consider and elect to have the additional lipo procedures around the jaw, chin and neck to enhance those features, tighten the skin and restore a more youthful appearance. People of all ages can acquire excess flesh around the chin, jowls, and neck. Weight gain and weight loss can be obvious factors, but age also contributes to the dreaded double-chin, sagging jowls, and neck rolls we all want to eliminate. There are no exercises to get rid of a double chin, sagging jowls, a turkey-neck, but lipo procedures can help you improve your lower facial features and jaw-line, and achieve a more perfected profile.

Both men and women benefit from facelift procedures, especially when combined with chin, jowl, and neck liposculpture.

Laser and liposculpting permanently removes excess fat from the lower face, chin and jowls. In addition lipo tightens the skin, and restores the clean, smooth, defined jawline you may have had years prior. Facelift surgery in addition to lipo of the jowls, chin, and neck will produce noticeable results, and help patients improve their profile features.

Adding liposculpting surgery as a part of your facelift procedure will help eliminate your chin, jowl, and neck fat tissue without lengthening your recovery time. When a facelift and facial lipo are combined, they are performed in the same surgery. The process is simple:

Your surgeon will recommend either general or local anesthesia, depending on the facelift procedures.
Your surgeon will use a laser/liposculpting techniques and devices to gently melt the fat directly under the skin and to encourage skin tightening.
Your surgeon will use slow, gentle movements to remove the fat, meaning limited pain, fewer bruises, and a more rapid recovery for you.
Your surgeon will recommend you wear certain post-surgical garments after the surgery to ensure best outcomes.
Every patient experiences a different recovery, based upon the extent of the facelift and lipo surgery
