Face and Neck Curved Liposuction are ideal surgeries for men and women who desire facial contouring due to age, weight gain, or an accumulation of fat in a specific area.
— Dr. Mark Anton, Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon
Many of Dr. Anton’s facelifts include Curved Face and Neck Liposuction, but for the younger patient not quite ready for a facelift, this procedure can rejuvenate the jawline, cheeks, and chin area for a more youthful appearance.
Curved Face and Neck Liposuction is performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient facility. The duration of the surgery varies but is typically one hour. Small incisions (the size of a small puncture wound) are made under the chin and sometimes behind each ear lobe. A specialized curved cannula is used for removing fat and contouring the desired area. Incisions are sutured and in most cases not noticeable once healed.
