What is the recovery like for liposuction of jowls/cheek area? Is swelling noticeable after a week?

Dear torihooks,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. In most cases, there should be no major swelling if you follow postoperative recommendations. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for posting your interesting question. The recovery for liposuction of the jowls and cheeks is about 1 week. I recommend that you have a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with liposuction of the face and neck. Best wishes. Richard Wellington Swift, M.D., F.A.C.S.
