Be cautious: Fat cells are permanently removed with liposuction; however, suctioning the face above the jaw line is not a good idea. As we age we lose this fat and the face becomes hollow. The mid face fat should be preserved. So, yes, the lower face can be contoured with care and caution. www.artofplasticsurgery.com.

Be Careful: Be careful with your decision-making; as we age, fatty tissue in the facial area tends to help retain a youthful appearance. Best wishes.

Yes.: Liposuction does permanently remove fat cells, however the remaining fat cells can increase in size if there is a weight gain. With aging there is usually a loss of fat in the face and with facelifts and facial procedures we combine fat transfer to the face. Therefore it is key to be cautious before removing fat in the face.
