Frequently Asked Questions about Jowl Liposuction

Is there pain in recovery from Jowl Liposuction?
Unlike body liposuction, facial liposuction causes very little pain. Most of our patients only require over the counter pain relievers to alleviate discomfort during postoperative recovery.

An incision is made under the chin, usually in a pre-existing, natural crease. This area heals very well and is usually imperceptible after a few months.
