Can lipo of neck/jawline or jowls cause permanent discoloration?

Permanent skin discoloration is not a common side effect of liposuction performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon. It's essential to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon or a certified medical professional to minimize the risks associated with the procedure. Additionally, following post-operative care instructions can help reduce the likelihood of complications and promote proper healing.

Best of luck !

Anytime there is bleeding or prolonged bruising you can get transient or permanent skin discoloration. Massage and topical skin products may help depending on the root cause.

Poorly done, Liposuction can cause skin is discoloration but this out, it’s pretty rare.
There are also individuals who have skin that is extremely sensitive and is prone to color changes for minor injuries.
Skin color changes related to Liposuction when they happen are usually from liposuction done very close to the dermal surface.
It is not a normal or usual complication that most plastic surgeons discuss during informed consent despite the fact that it can happen.
