Is jawline liposuction helping with water retention?

Question

I have both fat and water retention on my jawlines. I want to have jawline liposuction. I wonder if there will be water retention in my jawline after the surgery? Or if it is the fat-cells that retain the water and if there is no fat, there is no water retention? Thanks for your help! regards

Dear shallaw,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Tissue edema typically only happens independent areas that are below the heart. Areas below the heart cause gravity to create back pressure on Venus and lymphatic channels. Areas above the heart typically drain with gravity and don’t develop swelling unless there is inflammation. Liposuction causes a substantial amount of initial swelling which typically subsides by about six weeks and results are final by three months. facial edema is atypical unless someone has a physiological abnormality.
Liposuction only reduces subcutaneous fat.
Best,
