Facial Liposuction

Facial Liposuction in Vancouver, BC

Facial Liposuction is a popular procedure designed to sculpt and define areas of the face that may be resistant to diet and exercise. Whether you struggle with fullness under the chin (double chin), along the jawline, or neck, this minimally invasive treatment delivers noticeable, long-lasting results with a shorter recovery time than traditional facial surgery.

The First Step
Procedure at a Glance
The Recovery

01. The First Step

Facial liposuction removes localized fat deposits from the lower face and neck, most commonly beneath the chin and along the jawline, to restore definition that diet and exercise alone often can't achieve. Fat in these areas is frequently genetic, which is why even lean patients can carry fullness under the chin.

In consultation, Dr. Denton assesses skin quality alongside fat volume, because skin elasticity determines how well the area will contour after fat is removed. For some patients, liposuction alone is ideal; for others, it's best combined with a neck lift or other procedures. You'll leave the consultation understanding exactly what's contributing to the fullness and which approach will deliver the most natural result.

02. Procedure at a Glance

Facial liposuction is performed through tiny, discreetly placed incisions, typically hidden beneath the chin or behind the ears. Using fine cannulas designed for the delicate structures of the face and neck, Dr. Denton sculpts the area gradually, preserving smooth, even contours.

The procedure may be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, and is often completed efficiently as a standalone treatment or alongside complementary surgery.

03. The Recovery

A supportive garment is typically worn in the early days to help the skin contour smoothly. Swelling and mild bruising are normal and resolve progressively; many patients return to desk-based routines within days, though timelines vary by individual.

The refined contour emerges gradually as swelling settles over the following weeks. Dr. Denton monitors your healing through follow-up visits and adjusts guidance as you progress.

Dr. Paul Denton's commitment to quality work and natural-looking results is evident in everything he does. When we discussed a deep plane face and neck lift, the team also introduced the idea of a lip lift—something I hadn’t considered, but it turned out to make a world of difference. I truly felt cared for every step of the way.

Dr. Denton under promises and over delivers! I just turned 60 and made the decision to have Dr. Denton complete a deep plane neck and facelift and lip lift.

I absolutely love the outcome, so very natural. My face looks like me, just the version when I was 36-40. The neck and jawline, amazing. You are in very good hands with Dr. Denton.
