Liposuction of selected areas of the face has been used effectively for many years. It is one of our most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in our male patients. Liposuction can be performed in conjunction with face lifting procedures or separately in selected patients.
The ideal patient for facial liposuction is younger with good skin elasticity and localized fatty deposits, usually in the jowl area or below the jaw. Facial liposuction is quicker, easier and less expensive than face lifting and can have dramatic results in the right patient.

The Procedure
Facial liposuction is generally performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia in or state-of-the-art facility on an outpatient basis. Dr. Spanganberg makes small (less than 1/2 inch), discreet incisions in the face or neck. A cannula is inserted in a small incision and attached to a suction machine. The procedure may take an hour or more.
The results of liposuction are permanent. If you were to gain a large amount of weight, you might note rippling in the treated areas, depending on your skin elasticity.
Following liposuction, the scar will go through a maturation process. During the first eight to twelve weeks, they may be red and possibly raised. The scars will mature over six to twelve months and become pale, flat, and soft. You may experience numbness, burning, and/or tingling around the incision site. These symptoms are almost always temporary. Please let us know if you are prone to keloid scars.
