Facial Liposuction in Flowood, MS

Sculpt and Define Your Facial Contours with Precision Liposuction

A well-defined facial structure plays a significant role in creating a youthful, balanced appearance. However, excess fat deposits around the cheeks, jawline, and neck can obscure natural contours, making the face look fuller or less sculpted. Facial liposuction at Defy Facial Spa provides a precise, minimally invasive solution to refine facial definition and restore a more contoured, elegant profile.

Led by Dr. Michael Nichols, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, our team specializes in facial aesthetics and surgical precision to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results.

What is Facial Liposuction?

Facial liposuction, also known as submental liposuction or chin and neck liposuction, is a cosmetic procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from specific areas of the face. It is commonly performed to enhance the jawline, chin, cheeks, and neck, resulting in a slimmer, more contoured look.

Areas Treated with Facial Liposuction

• Jawline & Chin – Removes excess fat to create a sharper, more defined jawline.
• Neck – Eliminates the appearance of a "double chin" for a sleeker profile.
• Cheeks (Buccal Area) – Reduces fullness in the mid-face for a more sculpted look.

Benefits of Facial Liposuction

• Enhances natural facial contours by reducing unwanted fat.
• Defines the jawline for a more youthful, chiseled appearance.
• Improves the profile by eliminating excess fat around the chin and neck.
• Minimally invasive procedure with little downtime.
• Long-lasting results with proper skincare and weight management.

At Defy Facial Spa, we take a customized approach to every facial cosmetic procedure to ensure results that complement your natural features.

Who is a Good Candidate for Facial Liposuction?

Facial liposuction is ideal for men and women who have stubborn facial fat that does not respond to diet or exercise.

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have fullness around the jawline, chin, or neck that you’d like to reduce.
• Desire a more defined, contoured facial structure.
• Are in good health with elastic skin for optimal results.
• Have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.

If you have significant skin laxity or sagging, face and neck lift surgery may be a better option. Dr. Nichols will assess your needs during a consultation.

The Facial Liposuction Procedure at Defy Facial Spa

Step 1: Personalized Consultation

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Nichols, where he will evaluate your facial structure, skin quality, and cosmetic goals to create a tailored treatment plan.

Step 2: The Liposuction Process

• The procedure is performed as an outpatient treatment under local anesthesia with sedation.
• Small, hidden incisions are made in discreet areas such as under the chin or behind the ears.
• A thin cannula (suction device) is used to remove excess fat while ensuring smooth, even results.
• The procedure typically takes less than an hour, depending on the treatment area.

Step 3: Recovery & Aftercare

• Mild swelling and bruising may occur for a few days.
• A compression garment may be recommended to support healing and skin retraction.
• Most patients can return to work within a few days and resume normal activities within a week.
• Final results become visible within a few months as swelling subsides.

For patients seeking skin tightening along with fat removal, laser skin resurfacing or dermabrasion can be combined with facial liposuction for enhanced results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Facial Liposuction

How long do the results of facial liposuction last?

Facial liposuction results are permanent, as the removed fat cells do not regenerate. However, maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve results.

Will there be noticeable scars after the procedure?

Dr. Nichols makes tiny, well-hidden incisions that heal with minimal to no visible scarring.

What is the difference between facial liposuction and buccal fat removal?

Facial liposuction removes fat deposits from the chin, jawline, and neck, while buccal fat removal specifically targets the cheek area. Some patients may benefit from a combination of both.

What is the recovery time for facial liposuction?

Most patients return to work within 3–5 days, with full recovery in about two weeks.

Can facial liposuction be combined with other procedures?

Yes, facial liposuction is often combined with brow lifts, cheek augmentation, or rhinoplasty for comprehensive facial contouring.
