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.

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.
