Will having body lipo make you lose more weight in your face?

Liposuction is not a weight-loss technique. It is a mechanical means of removing excess fat from the body, including from underneath the chin. After your liposuction, you will maintain your newly contoured proportions, whether you gain or lose weight. The liposuction will not affect fat in the rest of your body, including the face. If you want to lose weight in your face, you will need to do so by losing weight overall. You may also want to consider noninvasive fat-elimination techniques, such as Vanquish, CoolSculpting and ThermiTight. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who can help you decide how to contour your body with liposuction or other techniques.

Liposuction of parts of the anatomy other than the facial area will not result in less fat on the face.  However, if you gain weight, the fat will not accumulate as readily in the areas liposuctioned. Therefore, you may accumulate more fat in the other areas, such as the face.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure rather a body contouring surgery. Unless you are having liposuction performed on your chin, there will be no correlation between liposuction on other parts of your body to your face. I would consult with a PS to further discuss what your goals.
