Facial Profileplasty by Liposuction Extraction

Facial profileplasty can include the removal of abnormal fat deposits in the face and neck as an individual begins to age and, in many cases, the correction of chin projection to achieve a better neck-chin contour line. In this report we retrospectively analyze the complications and results from 142 patients undergoing facial liposuction alone or in combination with chin augmentation or rhytidectomy during a follow-up period of 14 months. The liposuction technique offers very low morbidity and is superior to conventional excisional methods.
