Gravity, skin laxity and damage, neck muscle weakness and fat distribution below the chin cause many of the aging changes which are most apparent. If you can "pinch" about 3/4 inch or more of fatty tissue below your chin, in your jowls, or in your upper neck, liposuction of these areas may be very beneficial.

Sometimes, particularly in patients from 30-55 years of age, and those with good skin tone, this is all the surgery that is needed. Fatty jowls often respond very well to facial liposuction. Liposuction allows removal of fat without large incisions. Not only is neck fat removed, but the procedure allows the neck skin to "re-drape" in a flatter, tighter position, which is one of the goals of this surgery. Liposuction of the face and neck is very safe, assuming it is done correctly.
