Facial liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures among both men and women who desire to enhance their overall facial appearance by reducing unwanted fat deposits around their face and neck. The procedure helps improve facial harmony by sculpting away stubborn fat pockets while giving you a tighter, firmer, more youthful-looking complexion. With minimal downtime associated with cheek and face liposuction—usually 2-3 days—it’s becoming one of the preferred ways for individuals to enhance their features without invasive surgery or injectables.
Our practice in New Jersey and Philadelphia specializes in providing clients with natural-looking results that can last for years when paired with good lifestyle habits such as proper diet and exercise.

Through the use of small tubes called cannulas, the surgeon removes fat from the area beneath the chin and jawline, resulting in a slimmer appearance with less fullness in the neck or double chin area. Additionally, this procedure can improve skin elasticity, while reducing excess skin to give you a more youthful appearance.

How Is It Performed?
Cheek and face liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure performed by a skilled cosmetic surgeon. During the procedure, the plastic surgeon will make small incisions in the area beneath your chin and jawline to access pockets of fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise. The doctor will then use specialized tools to suction out the unwanted fat, sculpting away any excess tissue for improved facial harmony and tighter, firmer skin. Depending on your individual cosmetic goals, your plastic surgeon may suggest additional treatment options or procedures, such as neck lifts or chin implants, to further enhance your results.
What to Expect After a Cheek and Face Liposuction
Following cheek and face liposuction, you may experience swelling and bruising may in the treated area, which will typically resolve within a few days. To promote adequate healing, you should avoid strenuous activities, like exercise or heavy lifting, for a minimum of 2 weeks after the procedure to ensure proper recovery. After this initial recovery period, you should be able to resume your normal activities with minimal discomfort.
One Week After Surgery
One week after your cheek and face liposuction surgery, you may notice further improvements in your facial contours as the swelling continues to subside. During this time, you should continue following the post-operative instructions provided by your plastic surgeon and avoid any strenuous activity until your body has fully recovered from the cosmetic surgery. With proper care and rest, most patients can return to their normal activities within 2 weeks of their neck or facial liposuction procedure.
Potential Risks and Side Effects of Cheek and Face Liposuction
Cheek and face liposuction is a safe and effective procedure when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. However, as with any surgery, you should consider the potential risks and side effects that may occur. The potential risks of the procedure include bleeding, infection, bruising and swelling, asymmetry, and skin necrosis in the affected area. Fortunately, you can usually avoid most of these side effects if you follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions carefully. Additionally, you may also experience temporary numbness or tingling in the area due to nerve damage during the procedure.

Fortunately, cheek and face liposuction is a safe procedure that can remove excess fat from the area and create a slimmer facial contour. By consulting with an experienced plastic surgeon like myself at my practice in New Jersey or Philadelphia, you can ensure that you are well-prepared for cheek and face liposuction and ready for your desired aesthetic.
Cheek and face liposuction is a quick procedure that is typically performed under local anesthesia. This means we will numb the area to reduce any discomfort or pain during the procedure. In addition, most patients experience minimal to no pain after the surgery and can return to their normal activities within 2 weeks of their liposuction. By following the proper post-operative care instructions from your plastic surgeon, cheek and face liposuction can safely and effectively improve facial contours and help you achieve your desired aesthetic results.
No, you do not need to stay in the clinic after your cheek and face liposuction procedure. In most cases, patients can go home on the same day as their surgery. However, always follow all post-operative instructions provided by your plastic surgeon to promote a safe and successful recovery. You should also avoid strenuous activities such as exercise or heavy lifting for at least 2 weeks following your surgery. Additionally, if you experience any severe pain or discomfort after the procedure, contact your plastic surgeon right away so that they can evaluate your condition.
Typically, patients will begin to see the results of their cheek and face liposuction procedure within a few weeks of their surgery. During this time, you should avoid any strenuous activity so that the area can heal properly. As the swelling and bruising subside, you should start to notice an improved facial contour with fewer fat deposits in the affected area. However, as with other types of cosmetic surgery, it may take several months for the full effects of your liposuction to be visible. Additionally, results may vary from patient to patient depending on factors such as age and skin elasticity.
No, there are no specific diet restrictions after cheek and face liposuction. However, you should maintain a healthy diet to promote optimal healing and minimize the risk of complications. You also need to drink plenty of fluids and avoid consuming alcoholic beverages during the recovery period. Additionally, follow your plastic surgeon’s post-operative care instructions closely and take any medications as prescribed by your doctor. Eating a balanced diet that incorporates fresh fruits and vegetables can help you stay energized throughout the healing process and ensure your body has all of the necessary vitamins and minerals needed for proper recovery.
