Remove where needed, fill where necessary

Facial liposuction is a procedure that redefines the volume distribution of the face by suctioning subcutaneous fat around the cheeks, jaw, and cheekbones using a fine cannula. The key is not to remove as much fat as possible, but to balance the fat to be left and removed considering the face shape and skin elasticity. If necessary, fat grafting may be performed to balance the overall appearance. Results may vary depending on individual fat volume and skin condition, and the scope is determined based on photo analysis during consultation.

Diagram of inserting a fine cannula into the facial subcutaneous fat layer for liposuction

The surgery is performed through small incisions behind the ears and under the chin. Small incisions of about 2-3mm are made in inconspicuous areas like behind the ears or under the chin, and a fine cannula with a rounded tip is inserted into the subcutaneous fat layer to suction the fat. The rounded tip makes it easier to avoid layers where blood vessels and nerves pass, resulting in relatively less bruising and swelling. Since the number of fat cells is reduced, the results are long-lasting unless there is a significant weight change. After surgery, a facial compression band is worn for several days to help the skin settle into the new line. The speed of swelling reduction and the final line vary by individual.

PIAF Facial Liposuction Recommended for

  • When the boundary between the chin and neck is blurred due to a double chin
  • When the face appears larger than it is due to excess cheek fat
  • When buccal fat makes the lower face appear angular
  • When cheekbones are not large but appear prominent due to fat

PIAF Facial Liposuction Surgery Areas

Cheek Fat

When excess fat in the cheeks makes the face look wide, cheek fat is reduced to create a smaller, slender appearance.

Buccal Fat

When deep inner cheek fat makes the lower face appear square, buccal fat is reduced for a smoother lower face.

Jawline

Sagging fat around the chin is reduced to define a previously blurred jawline.

Cheekbones

When cheekbones appear prominent due to fat rather than bone, fat from the front and side cheekbones is reduced for a softer contour.

Double Chin

Fat under the chin is suctioned to smooth the line from chin to neck, making the face appear smaller.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Q.How is facial liposuction different from fat-dissolving injections?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that directly removes fat cells with a cannula, allowing for a larger amount to be removed at once and longer-lasting results. Fat-dissolving injections gradually reduce fat cells through injections and are considered when the fat amount is small or surgery is a concern. The best option is determined during consultation based on fat volume and skin elasticity.
Q.Will there be scars?
Incisions are made in inconspicuous areas like behind the ears or under the chin, about 2-3mm in size, and often become almost indistinguishable over time. However, the degree to which scars fade varies by skin type.
Q.When will the swelling subside?
Major swelling typically subsides within 1-2 weeks, and the final line settles around 4 weeks as residual swelling decreases. Recovery speed may vary depending on compression band use and lifestyle habits.
