Facial Liposuction Denver

Isolated fatty deposits in the cheeks, jaw line and neck are sometimes an inherited trait and often do not respond to diet and exercise.

Liposuction can effectively remove excess fat from a number of areas of the face resulting in a more refined and permanent facial contour. Under the chin and along the jawline, as an independent procedure especially in someone young,  liposuction can eliminate the “double chin”. But liposuction is also very effective as an integral part of a complete facelift in shaping the neck and jaw.

When used to shape jowls and other facial contours, we refer to facial liposuction as “microsuction or microliposuction” since it is done using very fine cannulas and removing very small volumes.  The tiny cannulas Dr. John Grossman and Dr. Philippe Capraro use allow them to make small incisions that heal quickly and are almost imperceptible after healing.

At Grossman Plastic Surgery ®, in facial liposuction, we not only employ very small cannulas, but also rely on the skin-shrinking capabilities of VASER® LipoSelection® which uses low power ultrasound to both liquefy the fat for easy removal and stimulate the dermis layer of the skin to produce new collagen fibers to create shrinkage.  Patients are frequently able to return to work in a couple of days after a facial liposuction procedure.

In the face as well as the body, additional aesthetic surgical procedures may be combined with microsuction/microliposuction when the skin has lost its elasticity due to the natural process of aging and excess skin remains.
