Liposuction of the face and neck is an effective procedure and one of the most common requested cosmetic surgeries. It is indicated for sculpting of specific areas such as the neck, jowls and jawline. Skin tightening can occur after liposuction due to possible post-traumatic fibrosis and collagen ratcheting and or shrinkage. Younger patients have a better skin tightening response than older patients. It is important for patients to understand that removing fat can lead to skin excess. While submental liposuction may be very effective in a younger patient with increase fat and minimal skin excess, it could be problematic in an older patient with excess skin. In these cases, facelift may be necessary to address the skin.
Submental liposuction is generally performed between the sternocleidomastoid muscles from the excessive fat is removed, the skin can adhere to the underlying muscle and other tissues, creating hollowness, webbing and banding.
Jowl liposuction, jowling results from both skin and deep tissue droop as well as from fat accumulation. Patients that require submental liposuction frequently require simultaneous jowl liposuction. The jowl is access from an earlobe incision, the fat suction is activated and the jowl reduced with reciprocal cannula movement. Although copious amounts of fat can be removed from the jowls, overtreatment remains a possibility and conservative approach should always be used for a natural rejuvenation.
