What is Facial Liposuction?
Facial and neck liposuction is a powerful procedure that contours your lower face by removing unwanted fat deposits in the neck and jowls through small incisions. It’s different from buccal fat removal, which specifically targets round or cherubic cheeks. Whether you’re seeking facial refinement or neck sculpting, liposuction offers targeted results that can restore definition and youthfulness.
Liposuction can be an excellent stand-alone treatment for younger patients. However, this procedure may leave you with loose skin if you lack sufficient elasticity. In these cases, Dr. Guy recommends pairing facial liposuction with skin-tightening technologies such as FaceTite or Morpheus8 to ensure smooth, firm results without the “turkey wattle” effect.
Dr. Guy often performs facial liposuction in his clinic with local anesthesia to save his patients money and time. This approach offers more immediate results than other fat reduction treatments such as Kybella.

What Can I Expect During and After Houston Face and Neck Liposuction?
Patients often choose neck and face liposuction because it is so straightforward. First, Dr. Guy’s team will administer local anesthesia for your comfort. From there, Dr. Guy will make three small access points – one behind each ear and a third under your chin. Through these incisions, Dr. Guy will carefully remove fat from targeted areas using a thin tube called a cannula.
Liposuction patients typically experience some bruising and swelling in their neck and jawline for several days afterward. Following surgery, wearing compression dressings as directed will help your skin conform to its new shape, promoting a more refined, youthful appearance.
Dr. Guy advises you to take it easy and avoid exercise for a week after liposuction. You can ease back into your routines after this brief recovery period.
Am I a Candidate for Facial Liposuction in The Woodlands?
Facial liposuction may be a good choice if concerns like a double chin or the emergence of jowls make you look older or heavier than you’d like. The best way to determine your candidacy is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Guy. He will examine your facial anatomy and ask you questions about your aesthetic expectations and goals.
The best candidates for facial liposuction typically:
- Are close to their ideal weight but have stubborn facial and neck fat
- Have good skin elasticity
- Comprehend the risks of the procedure
- Will follow all provided postoperative instructions
