Ideal Candidates for Face & Neck Liposuction
Candidates for face and neck liposuction are typically individuals with stubborn fat deposits who are at a healthy weight. Good skin elasticity is required, as it allows the skin to contract smoothly after fat removal. Younger patients, often in their 20s and 30s, generally have sufficient skin elasticity. Occasionally, older patients can benefit from the procedure, depending on their skin quality. Genetics, smoking habits, and sun exposure all affect the elasticity and quality of the skin.
It is important to note that liposuction targets superficial fat, and deeper fat layers or fullness caused by other structures may require different treatments, such as the MIDS Neck Lift™. Dr. Foulad will perform a thorough evaluation to help you decide if liposuction is an appropriate treatment to best meet your goals..

The Procedure
Face and neck liposuction is usually performed under local anesthesia, with patients awake but relaxed using medication taken by mouth. A tumescent solution containing local anesthetic and epinephrine is injected to numb the area and minimize bleeding. Tiny incisions, typically a couple millimeters in size, are made to insert the microcannula. This technique allows for the precise removal of fat, ensuring minimal scarring and a refined contour. Post-procedure, a compression bandage is applied to aid in healing and reduce swelling.
Dr. Foulad’s Optimized Technique
Dr. Foulad has refined the liposuction process to enhance patient comfort, reduce risks, and accelerate healing:
- Tumescent Anesthesia: Provides effective numbing with minimal discomfort, reduces bleeding, and facilitates faster recovery. Over the years, Dr. Foulad has optimized the formula of his tumescent solution.
- Microcannulas: Allow for small incisions, smooth results, and minimal scarring. These tiny instruments enable detailed work in sensitive areas.
- Optimized Compression: A high-compression dressing is initially used to promote fluid drainage, followed by a low-compression dressing to manage swelling and support healing.
Preparation and Aftercare
Proper preparation is key to a successful liposuction experience. You may need to adjust certain medications and supplements before the procedure. Comprehensive pre-operative instructions will be provided based on your individual needs. Post-procedure, expect some swelling and possibly mild bruising, which typically peak around 3-4 days. A supportive neck strap may be recommended to help manage swelling and promote healing.

Face & Neck Liposuction faq
How long does liposuction last?
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells. If you gain weight, some of the remaining fat cells can enlarge in size. However, the region will still remain slimmer than if you had not undergone liposuction. In order to maintain your results as best as possible, it is recommended to maintain a healthy and stable weight.
Can liposuction remove all the fat at my neck?
It is important to leave a thin layer of fat under the skin. Overly aggressive liposuction can lead to skin injury, banding, and a skeletonized appearance, which can be difficult or even impossible to fully correct. In addition, liposuction is unable to reduce the deeper fat compartments of the neck.

Facial liposuction is a highly advanced procedure and requires great expertise to achieve successful results. It is critical that the procedure is performed on the appropriate person. The amount of superficial fat, the position of fat, the structure of the face, and skin elasticity are some of the elements evaluated when determining a proper candidate for facial liposuction. The procedure must be performed with precision and finesse using very small cannulas designed for micro-liposuction. The correct amount of fat must be removed. Overzealous fat removal can lead to irregularities that may be difficult or even impossible to fully correct.
