Body contouring

Facial liposuction

Facial liposuction at VIEW reduces excess fat in the cheeks, jawline and chin to create a slimmer face and sharper contour. It suits people with facial fat but good skin elasticity.

Who it suits

  • Excess fat in the cheeks or chin
  • Wanting a more defined jawline
  • Facial skin still has good tone

Technique highlights

  • Tiny access ports hidden under the chin or ear
  • Can be combined with facial fat grafting
  • Shorter recovery than body liposuction

Surgical steps

  • Assess fat volume and skin elasticity
  • Local anaesthesia and fat removal
  • Close ports and recover

Recovery & aftercare

  • Swelling and bruising for 5–7 days
  • Wear a facial compression band for 1–2 weeks

Risks & things to consider

  • Not ideal for those with very loose facial skin
  • Results depend on underlying facial bone structure

Frequently asked questions

Facial liposuction vs jaw reduction — what's the difference?

Liposuction removes fat from the face, while jaw reduction removes bone from the mandibular angle. If the issue is bone, liposuction will not help much.
