Facial Liposuction

Liposuction under the chin and neck area can significantly reduce the "double chin" and help define the jaw line. This is performed in the office setting typical under Intravenous sedation / anesthesia. Post-operatively, you will be required to wear a pressure garment that covers the area and wraps around the head for a minimum of four days. After that, it should be worn a minimum of 12 hours a day for several weeks. This is crucial for optimal results. Also, there is normally swelling that occurs for 2-3 days after surgery, and bruising is expected but variable in the neck region. The skin in the area of liposuction is normally "numb" or tingly feeling for a variable amount of time, this is normal and should slowly fade away after a few weeks or months.
