i have some excess fat that’s half an inch above my jawline. would it be safe to use liposuction to remove it? If I were to draw a line from the bottom of my ear it would just be below that line and not too high up.

Answer: Facial liposuction I suggest including pictures for a reference if you want an accurate assessment. Some plastic surgeons will do facial Liposuction, while others will avoid it because of the risk of facial nerve injury. The marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve process, the mandible and becomes superficial. This nerve is at risk for being damaged when doing Liposuction above the jawline. Some people are good candidates for Liposuction, and others are not. There are a lot of variables that contributed to facial contour. A lot of facial contour issues are more related to bone structure and age has a significant impact on facial aesthetics as well. We need far better information to give you any use recommendations. I suggest having multiple inperson consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons in your community. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
