What are the indications for facial liposuction?
Liposuction of the face is frequently performed during a facelift but may also be done to treat localized deformities of the neck. Most surgeons try to preserve fat in the face as loss of fat volume occurs with age and overaggressive removal may produce a less than desirable result. Liposuction of the neck helps further define the area under the chin and the jaw line. In some patients tightening of the neck muscles or placement of suspension sutures as described by Giampapa may also be performed. With associated chin retrusion a prosthetic chin implant may be placed. By using fine canulas 2-3 mm in diameter, fat removal can be carefully controlled. Fat may also be located beneath the neck muscles and is sometimes removed under direct vision to further define the submental angle.
