Q:

I have a very small, thin face, and I was wondering if pinpoint liposuction might be right for me. I’m 57 years of age, but I still have good skin with very little wrinkling. My biggest problem is the sagging skin on my neck and jowls. If this process might be the answer for me, how long does the liposuction last?

A:

Liposuction of the face has limited benefit, especially in thin individuals with loose and sagging skin. A facelift would be more appropriate for eliminating drooping skin and reestablishing youthful contours, providing safe and predictable improvement.
