Time.: If you are overweight, weight loss may help, but often the face has its own programming. The upside is, since the loss of facial fat is a natural part of the aging process, fatter faces look younger. You may not like it now, but it's a good investment for the future. Liposuction is a beter option for the neck, and below the jaw. Bucal fat can be removed directly, but lipo may cause nerve injuries.

Face fat: You can lose weight by diet and exercise. The face is one of the first areas to show weightloss.

Weight loss: Liposuction of the face is a bad solution and almost always leaves irregularities over the cheeks.

Diet and Exercise: Diet and exercise remain the “gold standard” when it comes to slimming down. Generally speaking, surgical removal of fat from the face is rarely indicated. Many patients, as they get older, wish they still had the “fullness” of the face they had in their younger years. Generally speaking, fat in the face tends to "create” a more youthful appeaance.
