Jowl liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess fat in the neck and jowls by suction with fine cannulas that are inserted through an incision hidden in the crease of the chin. With the suction of the excess fat, the area is molded and the facial appearance is improved.
Sometimes jowl liposuction is performed alone or in combination with other techniques, such as the cervicofacial lift.
The decision to treat the jowl by liposuction or with another surgical technique depends on whether it is predominantly fat, being the skin of good quality and with retraction capacity, or if, on the contrary, there is flaccidity and hanging skin, in which case the solution is to stretch it by lifting, or even correct certain vertical cords that some people present on both sides of the chin, descending vertically along the neck, and that depend on a muscle located under the skin.
