Can you lipo jowls? (Photo)

Lipo under local with the micro canulas would do well for the nasolabial folds and the jowls and is easy to undergo. They should have done the lipo with the facelift.

From your photograph, it appears you need another facelift. You have excess hanging skin as well as fat.

Liposuction to the jowel area is something that can be performed. We always take into consideration a patient's age and the elasticity to their skin in order to determine if there is a risk for loose skin after the procedure. Face lift and liposuction would be considered two different procedures. Although may be performed at the same time.

Hello; for the jowl area, Liposuction or Vaserlipo sort of applications; can be realized. However, the age of the patient; is important here. Patients; who are over the age of 30-35; experience for skin tightening problems; after the liposuction treatment. Therefore, definitely; for skin tightening purposes; Renuvion J Plasma technique needs to be added.

We do liposuction as a part of every face/neck lift as well as just for isolated jowls treatment. There is no doubt that liposuction of jowls can cause temporary weakness of marginal facial nerve branch. It is always temporary when it happens and it will improve within three weeks to 3 months. We do liposuction with very small cannula what further diminishes a chance for temporary nerve injury. You should continue searching for a surgeon who has more experience with this technique than those you visited.

Liposuction in that area is risky because of important nerves that move your face. However, many of the minimally invasive skin tightening treatments like FaceTite or noninvasive micro-needling with radiofrequency treatments like Agnes or Secret can be very helpful to tighten tissue in that area.

yes you can lipo jowls - i just did one today. there are many plastic surgeons who do this go see barry Dibernardo in montclair

Dear Lynnealex,
The short answer to your question is yes, you can liposuction the jowls, and we do it frequently. The caveat to that is...in the right patient. From the photo, it appears that your age and skin quality would not lend well to it. It really has little to do with injuring nerves, which can happen, but EXTREMELY rarely, and much more likely with a facelift, or with devolumizing the face. In general, in this day and age, we do try to not devolumize the facial fat, but reposition it to its more youthful location. What we do not know here is what type of face lift you had and whether attempt was made to reposition your jowl fat. It may be that you need a revision facelift. Good luck1

A round two or revision inter-facelift is recommended in cases as yours, which Hass to be a full open facelift. Not sure what type facelift you received? No preop photos posted best to virtual consult with fee for revision facelift $15,000. Best to get to virtual consult with.

The doctors you spoke to previously are correct. The branch of the facial nerve goes right through the gel as the nerve crosses the edge of the mandible to correct treatment for jowls is a facelift.
To make an assessment on the outcome of your procedure we generally need to see a complete sense of proper before and after pictures.
If you don’t have it before and after pictures, then ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
Understanding of the outcome of your procedure. Could help us understand if your facelift was done properly or not.
If your facelift was not done very well, then that would explain why you still have jowls after the procedure.
The outcome of facelift surgery is highly dependent on provider selection.
Some plastic surgeons are much better at this procedure than other surgeons.
Best,
