Facial Liposuction La Jolla, CA | Malone Facial Plastic Surgery

Understanding Facial Liposuction: Precision Body Contouring

Liposuction is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to eliminate unwanted fat from specific body areas. Using a hollow instrument called a cannula and a powerful vacuum, the treatment targets fat deposits in multiple regions including the abdomen, arms, buttocks, back, calves, chin, neck, and thighs.

Ideal Candidates for Facial Liposuction in La Jolla

Candidates for facial liposuction typically include healthy men and women in their 20s and beyond. The procedure is particularly effective for individuals experiencing:

• Stubborn fullness underneath the jaw
• Desire for subtle facial and neck contouring
• Frustration with genetically inherited facial features

Minimally Invasive Facial Contouring Technique

Dr. Malone employs advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques to sculpt the jawline and neck. The procedure involves creating small, inconspicuous incisions, typically placed behind the ears to conceal scarring. A cannula is inserted to loosen and remove excess fat using a surgical vacuum.

Recovery and Expectations for La Jolla Patients

Facial liposuction is an outpatient procedure with a relatively quick recovery. Patients can typically:

• Return to work within a few days
• Resume normal activities within two weeks
• Expect temporary bruising and swelling

Potential Risks and Considerations

While facial liposuction is generally safe, potential risks include anesthesia reactions, bruising, infection, numbness, and minor scarring. Dr. Malone discusses these comprehensively during personalized consultations.

Non-Surgical Alternatives in La Jolla

Malone Facial Plastic Surgery also offers non-surgical options for facial contouring, including laser treatments and injectable solutions that can provide fat absorption and structural definition.
