Can Jowls Be Liposuctioned?

The jowls may be lipsuctioned using specialized techniques. However, this is really only best in certain situations (younger patients, tighter skin)--this is rare. Usually, this occurs in older patients and is the result of ptotic (descended) facial tissues that need repositioning, volume shifts, and even loss of bone on the mandible. So, optimum treatment would involve more than simply liposuction. An experienced surgeon can help determine what might be best for you.
Hope this helps.

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.
