— Why Treating the Area Around the Mandible Matters —

When considering facial liposuction, most patients focus on the cheeks and under the chin.

However, to achieve a truly refined and sharp jawline, the most critical area is actually:

the region beneath the ear, along the mandibular angle.

■ Why the Area Below the Ear Is Crucial

A beautiful profile is not determined by volume alone, but by the continuity of the contour line.

If fat remains in the area below the ear:

• The back portion of the jawline appears blurred
• The contour looks disconnected
• The transition from face to neck becomes unclear

Even if the front view looks slim,

👉 the side profile will still appear heavy and undefined.

■ The Risk of “Under-Treatment”

In facial liposuction, removing too little fat in key areas can be more problematic than removing too much.

If fat around the mandibular angle is not adequately addressed:

• The posterior jawline remains bulky
• The facial contour lacks continuity
• The result appears incomplete

This leads to what we call a “partially improved face” rather than a truly refined result.

■ AVAN TOKYO’s Design Philosophy

— Not Points, but Lines —

At AVAN TOKYO, facial liposuction is not simply about reducing fat.

It is about reconstructing the entire facial contour.

We focus on:

• A continuous line from below the ear to the chin
• A sharp contour along the mandibular border
• Aesthetic balance from all angles (front, side, and oblique views)

True beauty lies in design, not just reduction.

■ 3 Months Post-Operative (Case Example)

At 3 months after cheek and submental liposuction:

• Swelling is almost completely resolved
• Bruising has disappeared
• The jawline becomes clearly defined

However, internal healing (fibrosis) may still be ongoing,

and final refinement continues up to 3–6 months.

■ A Beautiful Profile Is About Structure, Not Just Slimness

A smaller face is not simply achieved by removing fat.

What truly matters is:

• Where to remove
• Where to preserve
• How to connect the lines

By properly treating the area beneath the ear, we can achieve:

👉 A sharp and elegant jawline

👉 A seamless contour from face to neck

■ Final Message

Facial liposuction is not just a procedure—it is design-driven medicine.

Subtle changes can dramatically improve:

• Profile
• Facial balance
• Overall impression

The difference lies in the level of precision and attention to detail.
