Is It Possible to Use Laser Liposuction to Remove Fat from the Face?
I have a thin body and tried everything from exercise/diet to the point where I went too far till my body looks like a skeleton, my face still looks fat. If I pinch my face, around the cheeks, I can feel that it's totally fat compared to pitching someone with a thin face. I know that ordinary liposuction causes skin irregularities but I've heard that laser liposuction can tighten the skin. I wanted to remove just the lower part of the face, i.e. the area between the cheeks and the jaw line.

If your perception of your body made you lose weight dangerously, then it is a concern about the reality of your perception of your facial features. All liposuction surgical procedures have risk and if you lose too much volume in the face you...

Liposuction of the face
Liposuction of the face is done very judiciously and conservatively in patients that are very full. It can lead to premature aging of the face. I would stick with gentler techniques.
