Jawline liposuction has become one of the most requested cosmetic procedures, with surgeons reporting quadrupled demand in recent years fueled by our selfie-obsessed, video call culture. What may look like a simple fat removal procedure actually requires artistic skill, proper candidate selection, and realistic expectations for truly satisfying results.

• Procedure works best for patients in their 20s-30s with good skin elasticity and subcutaneous fat
• Older patients or those with loose skin may experience more sagging after fat removal
• Small incisions (about 1cm) are made under chin and sometimes behind earlobes
• Recovery involves 2-3 weeks of swelling and bruising with limited neck movement
• Final results take patience—visible improvement at 2-3 months, complete results at 6 months
• Some surgeons use radiofrequency treatment for additional skin tightening
• Potential complications include contour irregularities, fibrosis, and rarely nerve damage
• Skilled surgeons leave a thin fat layer for natural results rather than removing all fat
• Multiple consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons recommended before deciding
• Weight fluctuations after treatment can affect long-term results

For those considering jawline liposuction or any cosmetic procedure, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your individual needs and goals.
