Can Jowls Be Liposuctioned?

The success of facial Liposuction in improving the appearance of the jowls depends upon a few factors. If your jowls are heavy and have a great deal of fat in the sagging portion of the jowls, then liposuction would be very helpful in reducing the redundancy of your jowls.
I have been very pleased with the use of laser lipolysis in this area for redundant heavy jowls. If you are relatively thin, and the majority of your problem is skin, muscle, and other tissue laxity and very little fat, then you may get some skin tightening with traditional liposuction or laser liposuction, but a facelift would likely be significantly more effective in this scenario.

It's best to begin by consulting with a surgeon in-person. The presence of banding down the front of the #neck, and, amount of excess skin and condition of your skin are among some factors which determine what treatments will best rejuvenate your neck. Liposuction may also be an #option. Vaser liposuction, also known as Vaser #lipo, LipoSelection or Liposuction, is an advanced body #contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, #Vaser lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently #reshape your body. There are three types of #Vaser Lipo. Each benefit patients differently depending on their needs. Some #areas of the body Vaser is applied to include the face, chin, neck, arms, back, abdomen, "love handles", buttocks, thighs, hips, saddlebags and knees. However, there may be additional options to improve the appearance of your concern to improve the overall balance of your face. Such can be best evaluated in-person. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in #face, #neck and #chin procedures is important to ensure you are receiving the best advice, care, and surgical experience possible.

Yes, the jowls can be liposuctioned however it is generally not recommended. This is because the jowls are generally affected by sagging, loose skin, and liposuction will only make the sagging skin worse. For this reason, it's better to undergo a skin tightening treatment (like a facelift or neck lift) or fillers to remodel the jawline.

Any fat that has accumulated in excess and is well-localized can be reduced with liposuction. The trick for the jowls is to recognize that it is nearly always accompanied by some skin laxity, and if good judgment is not exercised, it can appear worse rather than better. Most of the time when I do lipo to the jowls it is actually part of a facelift procedure, but there is another option that has worked very well in the right patients, using immediate post-lipo Thermage. We have proven in a clinical study that the skin tightening effect is enhanced when Thermage is applied right after liposuction to the same area. We do it a lot in the neck and jowls together.

Jowls can be treated with liposuction in some cases. However, this needs to be done carefully by a surgeon who has experience and has been properly trained. Even a little oversuctioning can leave a depression in this area. It is also to your benefit to make sure that the physician you see in consultation is able to treat the face and neck surgically, Even if you do not want a more aggressive procedure, a surgeon with a wide experience of treatment modalities will be better able to assess your face and provide the pros and cons of various approaches.

Some jowls are paper thin without fat and they won't respond well with liposuction. Some might be too thin and irregularities could occur. Other thicker jowls may respond well with careful liposuction. There is a small risk of temporary, and more rare, a permanent loss of nerve loss in that area which can affect the lowering of the lower side of the lip and chin. See an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist.

Liposuction of jowls can be effective in young patients with tight skin.
However jowls often mean that deep tissues have sagged, skin has loosened, and patients are best served with a facelift. Modern facelifts performed by top doctors adjust up deep tissues, tighten skin and are minimally detectable or non-detectable.
Make sure you don't make the problem worse by subtracting from jowl tissue via liposuction, only to find that this valuable tissue could have been adjusted upwards via a facelift to fill in lost volume above. If liposuction is done for the wrong reason, things will look good for a few months while subtle swelling is present, only to look looser afterwards.

Jowls turn out very good with liposuction by an expert in the micro canula technique under local anesthesia for roughly $1500-2500. You can drive yourself home and back to work the next day. 

Yes, liposuction of the face and jowls is a common procedure. I agree that you should go to someone with extensive experience, since the procedure requires considerable skin to help minimize any contour irregularities.

Yes, jowls can be liposuctioned but the surgeons must exercise extreme caution using extremely precise techniques and/or fine cannulas to minimize the potential for visible skin irregularities due to liposuctioning too close to the skin surface.
