ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Liposuction of the jowl region is difficult from a single submental incision and must be done conservatively in order to avoid overresection of fat. The neck region may be suctioned much more completely.OBJECTIVE:
A new method for liposuction of the neck and jowls that uses five incisions and that combines syringe suctioning of the jowls and machine-assisted suctioning of the neck has been developed.METHODS:
The neck was suctioned from submental and infra-auricular incisions. The jowls were suctioned from the infra-auricular and additional infrajowl incisions.RESULTS:
This method has been used on 68 patients over a 3-year period. Three additional patients underwent syringe liposuction of only the jowls. Volumes of fat aspirated from bilateral jowls were consistently nearly equal. The incidence of adverse events was low.CONCLUSION:
This method enables conservative removal of jowl fat and thorough removal of neck fat, with a low incidence of adverse sequalae.
