Her concerns were a heavy lower-face line and volume under the chin. Some people worry that removing cheek fat causes a “hollowed” look, but it is over-removal that creates hollowing. By precisely suctioning only the appropriate areas while preserving the fat that should remain, a naturally defined, slimmer contour can be achieved without hollowing.
In this case, we three-dimensionally designed the cheeks and under-chin, refining a clean line from the jawline down to the submental area.
After surgery, swelling and bruising subside over time, and by 3 months the line has stabilized. Results and the course of recovery vary from person to person.
Main risks and side effects: swelling, bruising, edema, skin irregularities and tightness, asymmetry, pigmentation, scarring, and numbness. With facial liposuction, over-hollowing of the cheeks, skin laxity, contour asymmetry, and temporary nerve numbness may occur, and rarely heavy bleeding, allergy, or anemia. The degree and recovery period vary by individual. If you notice any concerning symptoms, please consult your doctor rather than judging on your own.

Risks and side effects
Liposuction may cause swelling, bruising, pain, edema, skin irregularities or tightness, asymmetry, pigmentation, and scars at the small incision sites. Rarely, complications such as infection, hematoma, numbness, or reduced sensation may occur. On the face (cheeks and under the chin), excessive hollowing of the cheeks, skin laxity, asymmetry of the contour, and a temporary feeling of nerve weakness or difficulty moving the corners of the mouth may occur.
These symptoms may occur during recovery and most improve over time, but their severity and the recovery period vary from person to person. If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor rather than judging for yourself.
