Facial Liposuction

How is facial liposuction done?

Back to Facial Liposuction OverviewAnesthesia

As with most facial plastic surgery, submental liposuction can be performed using a local anesthetic in combination with intravenous sedation (twilight sleep). This is safer and has fewer side effects than general anesthesia.

Procedure

Performing facial liposuction, Dr Bartlett makes a tiny incision beneath the chin and at times in the crease under the ears. A narrow tube called a cannula is inserted through the incision and excess fat cells are vacuumed out.
