Some patients have small localized areas of fat around the face.
These are most common in the neck , under the chin, and in the folds between the nose and the corners of the mouth. The fat is removed by liposuction using very small suction cannulae. The incisions can be placed in hidden locations such as inside the nose, the corner of the mouth and under the chin. It is often performed at the same time as a facelift. This is one area where ultrasonic liposuction may not replace traditional liposuction.
