About the Procedure:
Jowl liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat under the chin, providing a more defined and youthful profile. Ideal for individuals who wish to reduce the appearance of a double chin or fat accumulation in the neck area, jowl liposuction allows for sculpting and toning of the facial contours.
This procedure is minimally invasive and usually requires small incisions under the chin. Through these incisions, the accumulated fat is removed through a suction process, achieving a more stylized appearance and improving the contour of the face. Jowl liposuction is an excellent option for those seeking quick results and a significant improvement in their profile without the need for major surgery.
