Melt Facial Fat Restore Your Beautiful Contours

Laser-assisted facial liposuction is similar to traditional liposuction in that it can remove facial fat. However, this approach also stimulates collagen production, which may offer additional skin-tightening benefits. It’s a minimally invasive approach that results in less trauma to your tissue and a safer procedure overall.

  • Average Cost: Starts at $2.5k (not including facility and/or anesthesia)
  • Typical Recovery Period: 10-14 days
  • Discomfort Level: Mild
  • Anesthesia Options: Local (in office) or General/Heavy Sedation

The Benefits of Facial Liposuction

  • Fat Reduction and Tissue Tightening: A neck lift effectively eliminates excess fat and loose skin, enhancing the jawline and reducing jowls for a more youthful contour.
  • Less Bleeding, Swelling, and Bruising: Modern techniques result in minimized bleeding, swelling, and bruising, leading to a smoother healing process.
  • Shorter Recovery Period: Recovery time is generally brief, with many patients returning to light activities within a week and regular routines in two to three weeks.
  • Safe Procedure: When performed by a board-certified surgeon, neck lifts are safe with a high satisfaction rate, often boosting patients' self-esteem and confidence.

The Facial Liposuction Procedure

What to Expect

Facial liposuction is performed under local and tumescent anesthesia – which ensures your comfort and primes the fat for removal. To access the fat, Dr. Moran will make a small, well-hidden incision beneath the chin or within the natural ear crease. Through that opening, she will insert a cannula and administer the laser to tighten tissue and target unwanted fat cells. 

Recovery

After laser-assisted liposuction, you will return home to heal. You can expect to return to work and your normal routine within two to three days, although exercise will need to wait for two more weeks. Bruising, swelling, and discomfort are the most common side effects. They usually last for a few days at most.

Are you a Candidate?

If you are a healthy adult looking for a more defined profile and jawline, facial liposuction in Nashville may be right for you. In general, an ideal candidate should:

  • Have adequate skin elasticity for the procedure
  • Want to address excess fullness below the jawline and along the cheek and chin area
  • Possess specific goals for the procedure, along with realistic expectations
  • Be at a stable weight

It’s important to note that, like traditional liposuction, this procedure is not a weight control method or a fix for obesity. Its goal is to contour the areas of your face that have not been responsive to diet or exercise. In many cases, this procedure is performed in conjunction with other facial plastic surgeries, such as a facelift or blepharoplasty.

Facial Liposuction FAQs

What’s the difference between facial liposuction and buccal fat removal?

Is facial liposuction better than Kybella or CoolSculpting for double chin fat?

How soon will I see results after facial liposuction?

What’s the difference between facial liposuction and buccal fat removal?

Facial liposuction targets fat under the skin (like along the jaw or neck), while buccal fat removal reduces deeper fat pads in the cheeks. They address different areas but can be combined for sculpted lower face results.

Is facial liposuction better than Kybella or CoolSculpting for double chin fat?

Facial lipo offers immediate, more dramatic results in one session. Kybella requires multiple treatments and causes more swelling. CoolSculpting is non-invasive but subtle. Liposuction remains the gold standard for defined results.

How soon will I see results after facial liposuction?

You’ll see noticeable change within 1–2 weeks, but final definition sharpens over 2–3 months as swelling resolves and tissues settle.
