FACIAL AND NECK FAT REMOVAL
Excess pockets of fat on areas of the face and neck beneath the chin can be removed through Facial Suction Lipectomy (liposuction). After the facial fat removal, the overlying skin shrinks to create a contoured appearance. The fat cells removed will not reappear, as fat cells do not multiply in quantity but rather in size.
In some cases, when there is excess or sagging skin in the area of the facial or neck fat removal, it may be desirable to also perform a face lift or neck lift. Dr. Kim can consult with you on the most desirable options for your own unique situation.

Recovery
After the procedure, a snug dressing is wrapped around the face and neck. It is removed the next day, although you may be advised to wear a ‘chinstrap’ for a few days and for several weeks at night. Some bruising and swelling can occur, with the bruising subsiding within two to three weeks, and the swelling subsiding more slowly. There may be mild post-operative discomfort around the incision, easily controlled by medication.fake
