A Jawline Sculpting Treatment

What is minimally invasive laser-assisted liposuction?

Laser liposuction, also known as laser-assisted liposuction or laser lipolysis, is a minimally invasive liposuction procedure that uses controlled laser energy to destroy fat cells and tighten skin.

This advanced technology utilizes bidirectional energy distribution for more focused targeting of fat tissue. This promotes collagen production for enhanced skin tightening.

This procedure smooths out fine wrinkles and helps restore tone and firmness to your jawline and neck using sophisticated laser technology. Extraneous fat is removed, and the laser causes new collagen growth and subtle skin tightening over a six-month period to produce gradual and natural results.

Redefining Fat Removal

What is the laser liposuction procedure like?

Three tiny skin punctures (less than a quarter of an inch) are made behind the ears and under the chin. The laser is inserted underneath the skin and manipulated by our expert facial plastic surgeon. The heat from the laser stimulates collagen growth, tightening any sagging skin and gradually improving the appearance of fine and deep lines.

Although the PrecisionTx is often marketed as a “laser facelift,” delivering results similar to a facelift, Dr. Yoo says this is not the case. There is currently no technology on the market that provides a non-surgical alternative to surgery, and misleading marketing can lead to unrealistic expectations. It is best to think of this as laser-assisted liposuction along the jawline.

Your procedure includes:

  1. Small incisions are made in the target area.
  2. A specialized laser fiber is inserted to deliver laser energy, destroying the fat cells.
  3. The liquefied fat is gently removed using a thin liposuction cannula for effective fat reduction and jawline sculpting.
  4. The procedure stimulates collagen production, improving skin tightening over time.

Laser-assisted liposuction can be performed with oral sedation and tumescent numbing techniques or combined with additional procedures under general anesthesia, with patients returning home the same day.

An Advanced Approach to Targeting Fat Cells

What conditions does laser liposuction address?

Laser liposuction effectively targets a range of concerns, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a more sculpted jawline. This advanced procedure addresses unwanted fat deposits that often resist diet and exercise.

It also helps improve jawline contour by reducing excess fat while simultaneously subtly tightening skin, making it ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity. By precisely targeting localized subcutaneous fat, laser-assisted liposuction enhances your natural shape, delivering smoother, more defined results that boost confidence and satisfaction.

Fat Reduction with Skin Tightening

What areas can laser liposuction treat?

Laser liposuction is ideal for treating:

  • Lower face
  • Jawline
  • Neck and chin

This versatile procedure allows for customized lower face and jawline sculpting in a single treatment.

Treating Stubborn Fat Along Jawline

What are the benefits of laser liposuction?

Laser liposuction provides a range of benefits, making it an appealing choice for patients seeking targeted fat reduction and improved jawline contour. This minimally invasive procedure involves a short recovery time and uses laser precision to remove fat, ensuring enhanced jawline sculpting results.

Laser liposuction stimulates collagen production, promoting skin tightening for a smoother, more youthful appearance. Performed under local anesthesia, it eliminates the risks associated with general anesthesia while effectively destroying fat cells and refining jawline contour. With minimal downtime and effective outcomes, laser-assisted liposuction is an excellent option for achieving nonsurgical fat reduction results on the face and neck.

Am I a Candidate for Laser Liposuction?

Ideal candidates are:

  • Patients who would most benefit from laser-assisted liposuction are:
  • Patients under 40 years old who have subtle unwanted fullness along the jawline despite living an active and healthy lifestyle
  • Patients with supple skin who want a more defined jawline but who are not yet candidates for a facelift or who are unable to undergo a facelift due to medical or recovery concerns

Patients with significant weight concerns may require multiple treatments or alternative body contouring solutions.

Laser Liposuction Results

Laser liposuction results are visible within weeks as swelling and bruising subside. You’ll see improved contours and a smoother appearance as the body metabolizes the liquefied fat cells.
