An Elegant Profile
What is facial liposuction?
Facial liposuction is a targeted procedure designed to eliminate excess fat in specific areas of the face. Using small incisions, a thin tube (cannula) is inserted into the fat deposits, and the fat is gently suctioned out. Dr. Gurley specializes in ultrasound assisted liposuction, which allows for precision sculpting while causing minimal disruption to the surrounding tissues for a quicker recovery. This technique reshapes and contours areas such as the chin, jawline, cheeks, and neck to provide a more defined and youthful appearance. Unlike other non-surgical fat removal techniques, facial liposuction offers more dramatic and long-lasting results for individuals who want to enhance their facial contours.
Precision Contouring
What is the facial liposuction procedure like?
The journey to a refined, contoured profile begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Gurley, where your goals will be carefully discussed. Facial liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia or light sedation, although general anesthesia is available for those who want it. Dr. Gurley will make small, carefully placed incisions to remove fat from the targeted areas. The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours and is designed for maximum precision, minimizing discomfort and ensuring a quick recovery. With advanced techniques, the process leaves minimal scarring and provides natural, flattering results.
Refined Features
What conditions does facial liposuction address?
Facial liposuction is ideal for individuals who are looking to address:
- Double Chin: Remove excess fat beneath the chin for a more defined jawline.
- Jowls or Jawline Contour Issues: Sculpt and define the lower face to create a more youthful and balanced appearance.
- Cheek Fat: Eliminate excess fat in the cheeks that may cause a rounder or fuller face.
- Neck Fat: Define and contour the neck by removing stubborn fat under the chin.
Facial liposuction can be used alone or in combination with other facial procedures, such as a facelift or neck lift, to achieve more comprehensive facial contouring and rejuvenation.

Am I a candidate for facial liposuction?
Facial liposuction is ideal for individuals who are generally healthy and want to remove excess fat in specific areas of the face. You may be a good candidate if:
- You have localized fat in areas like the chin, jawline, or cheeks that don’t respond to diet or exercise.
- You want to achieve a more defined and youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
- You have good skin elasticity, which helps the skin naturally tighten after fat removal.
Who should avoid facial liposuction?
- Individuals with certain health conditions or active skin infections may not be suitable candidates for facial liposuction.
- People with excessively loose or sagging skin may not achieve the desired results and may benefit more from other procedures, such as a facelift.
Dr. Gurley will discuss your options and help determine if facial liposuction is right for you.

Facial Liposuction Results
The results of facial liposuction are visible immediately after the swelling begins to subside, with optimal results becoming clearer in the following months. The contoured areas will continue to refine as the skin settles and tightens. Fat removal is permanent, though maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to preserve your long-term results.
