Just as body contouring is targeted at removing fat cells from areas like the stomach and thighs, facial liposuction targets excess fatty tissue in the face and neck. Unwanted facial features like the double chin or excessively full cheeks can be treated with this method.
Local anesthesia is used for facial or neck liposuction, and the procedure is performed in our state-of-the-art surgical suite. Dr. Yalamanchili uses a small tube called a cannula to access the fat cells under the skin. A gentle suction process removes a specific volume of fat cells. In some cases, the removed fat may be used on other areas of the face to improve volume and fullness during a fat transfer procedure.
