Liposuction of the jawline and under the chin does great for many patients.

Liposuction of the jawline/lower cheeks/jowls and under the chin area does great and is done under local anesthesia with no scarring and no stitches with only 1 day down time for roughly $2500-3000.  It makes such a difference in so many  patients.  Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

Facial liposuction

Facial liposuction can, when conservatively done, provide a sharper jaw line. Avoid excessive mid facial liposuction as this will create an older, fatigued and even unhealthy appearance in some patients by becoming too gaunt.

Chin and cheek lipo

Chin lipo usually goes very well for a young patient like you.  I would be very, very careful about having any fat removed from above your jaw line.  You have a lovely, full face.  As you get older, you will lose fat in your face and you may regret having any removed at your young age.  You may think you will never be 40, but trust me, you will?

Liposuction of chin,face

I perform tumescent liposuction/liposculpture of those areas frequently through a tiny incision under the chin and for the face through incisions inside the nostrils. This does cause swelling and the patient looks like they have their molars pulled. It is usually quite effective and once the fat is removed and as long as you do not gain weight, the fat will always be gone from there.
