The submental lipectomy procedure refers to surgery beneath the chin to improve the look of a “double” chin. In this procedure, excess fat is removed. Recovery time is approximately one week to 10 days. It is common for liposuction to be performed with a Rhinoplasty or Facelift surgery to enhance basic facial balance and harmony.

What Is Facial Liposuction?

Facial liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure to remove excess fat from specific face areas. It is a targeted approach to sculpting the face and creating a more defined and balanced appearance.

A surgeon uses a thin, hollow cannula to carefully suction out unwanted fat deposits from the cheeks, chin, jawline, and neck during the procedure. This helps to contour and refine the facial features, enhancing the overall harmony of the face.

Facial liposuction can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other facial rejuvenation techniques, such as facelifts or neck lifts, to achieve more comprehensive results.

Benefits of a Facial Liposuction in Kelowna

Facial liposuction offers numerous benefits, such as:

• It effectively targets and removes excess fat deposits in areas like the cheeks, chin, jawline, and neck.
• It better defines the jawline, chin, and neck, resulting in a more attractive facial profile.
• Facial liposuction can reverse the ageing effect, restoring a more youthful and refreshed look.
• Compared to more invasive facial procedures, facial liposuction typically involves a quicker recovery period, allowing patients to return to their daily activities sooner.
• Facial liposuction allows for a customized approach, tailoring the procedure to address specific concerns and achieve personalized results.
