Facial Liposuction in Los Angeles

Facial liposuction in Los Angeles is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for patients seeking a slimmer, more defined face without altering their natural features. Dr. Zandifar, an experienced facial plastic surgeon with extensive training in facial plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery, offers advanced facial liposuction techniques designed to safely remove excess fat and enhance facial aesthetics.

Patients from Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and surrounding areas choose facial liposuction to address stubborn fat deposits in the face and neck that do not respond to a healthy diet, weight loss, or exercise. When performed correctly, facial liposuction restores balance, improves facial contours, and contributes to a more youthful appearance.

What Is Facial Liposuction?

Facial liposuction is a minimally invasive liposuction procedure that removes unwanted fat from targeted areas of the face and neck. Unlike traditional liposuction performed on the body, facial liposuction requires precise fat removal to protect facial features, skin elasticity, and facial expression.

The goal of facial liposuction is not volume loss, but controlled contouring. By removing excess fat cells and reshaping fatty tissue, patients achieve natural contours and a more defined jawline while preserving remaining fat cells needed for healthy facial structure.

Common Concerns Facial Liposuction Treats

Facial liposuction in Los Angeles is commonly used to treat:

• Double chin caused by submental fat

• Stubborn fat deposits under the chin and jawline

• Facial fat that blurs the jaw and neck transition

• Excess tissue in the lower face

• Localized fat deposits resistant to weight loss

• Early signs of facial aging

• Sagging skin combined with fatty tissue

For patients with excess skin or loose skin, facial liposuction may be combined with skin tightening or other procedures for optimal results.

Areas Treated With Facial and Neck Liposuction

Dr. Zandifar performs face and neck liposuction to sculpt multiple areas, including:

• Submental liposuction for the double chin

• Jawline and pre-jowl region

• Upper neck and lower face

• Chin and jaw transition zones

This approach enhances facial contours and creates a smoother transition between the face and neck.

Facial Liposuction Techniques Used

Traditional Liposuction and Advanced Techniques

Depending on patient anatomy and goals, Dr. Zandifar may use traditional liposuction or advanced techniques such as ultrasound assisted liposuction to remove fat more precisely while minimizing bleeding and trauma.

Minimally Invasive Approach

Facial liposuction is typically performed using small incisions and fine cannulas. A local anesthetic or local anesthesia is often sufficient, though general anesthesia may be recommended for combined procedures.

This minimally invasive approach helps:

• Minimize swelling

• Reduce bruising

• Support a smooth recovery

• Shorten the healing process

Who Is a Good Candidate for Facial Liposuction?

Most patients who seek facial liposuction in Los Angeles are healthy adults with:

• Stable weight or desired weight

• Good skin elasticity and good skin elasticity in the neck

• Facial fat or stubborn fat deposits

• No significant medical conditions

• Realistic expectations

Younger patients with good skin elasticity often see especially refined results. During consultation, Dr. Zandifar evaluates facial structure, skin elasticity, and facial features to determine candidacy.

Facial Liposuction vs. Buccal Fat Removal

Some patients inquire about buccal fat removal procedures or buccal fat pad removal. While facial liposuction removes fat from under the skin, buccal fat removal targets the buccal fat pad deeper in the cheeks.

Buccal fat removal may be appropriate for select patients, but facial liposuction is often preferred for jawline and neck contouring. In some cases, combined procedures may be recommended for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Facial Liposuction Recovery and Aftercare

What to Expect After Surgery

Recovery after facial liposuction is generally well tolerated. Patients may experience swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort.

Key recovery guidelines include:

• Wearing a compression garment to support healing

• Taking prescribed pain medication as directed

• Avoiding strenuous exercise during early recovery

• Following post-operative instructions carefully

Swelling gradually improves over several weeks. Most patients return to normal routines quickly while results continue to refine.

Results and Long-Term Outcomes

Facial liposuction removes fat cells permanently. As long as patients maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight, results are long lasting.

Patients typically notice:

• More defined jawline

• Improved facial contours

• Reduction of unwanted fat

• Enhanced facial harmony

• Increased patient satisfaction

Combining Facial Liposuction With Other Procedures

Facial liposuction is often combined with other cosmetic procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation, including:

• Neck liposuction or neck lift for excess skin

• Chin implant for structural support

• Skin tightening treatments

• Other procedures such as rhinoplasty or facial plastic enhancements

Combining procedures can improve outcomes while minimizing total downtime.
