This is an artea where liposuction can work very well. The quality of your skin will also aid in achieving a good outcome. Liposuction is excellent for treatment of localised areas of fat rather than an overall reduction in body fat. I would recommend a consultation with a qualified Plastic Surgeon who should be able to give you clear outcome expectations. Good luck.

Although the picture you have provided is not great quality, I can see that you seem to have quite obvious stretch marks. This would have a real impact on your outcome from liposuction. You need an proper consultation, but I would prepare yourself for this answer regarding liposuction. Good luck

If possible post some photos and then it may be possible to offer more clear advice. There are many reasons for facial asymmentry and also ptosis or droop of facial fat. Treatment options would include further fat grafting or liposuction and potentially face lift procedures. Good luck

I never use drains for liposuction. In all cases of liposuction that I can think of they are unnecessary. If your surgeon is considering using them then seriously question them on it. Good luck.

Absolutely you can achieve what you desire with liposuction. As you say it is best for shaping and contouring specific areas, rather than for weight loss. Be clear with the Plastic Surgeon you consult with about the areas that are of most concern to you and exactly what you would like to achieve. Good luck
