Liposuction is a procedure which helps sculpt the face by removing fat that has redistributed with age.

A needle is used to with draw fat from certain areas of the face such as the neck and lower cheeks. This is often done in tandem with another procedure, as removal of the fat may result in looser looking skin.

Potential side effects for facial surgery
As with all surgical procedures, there are certain side effects and restrictions following the procedure that you should be aware of, for example, you may have temporary bruising, swelling, soreness, numbness, and infection. Additionally, there may be lumpiness or asymmetry or scarring. With a face lift, there could be nerve injury that control facial muscles or feeling (temporary or permanent). There may be other risks associated with a particular type of surgery and the anesthesia used that you should discuss with your doctor to fully understand these risks.
