Facial Liposuction
If you’re bothered by excess fat, it’s probably not just in one area of your body. In fact, many people are concerned about excess fat on their face as well. Excess facial fat usually presents as a double chin, a thick neck, or chubby cheeks. Unfortunately, losing weight might not help; in many, these fat deposits are due to genetics or aging. That’s why Dr. Scott Gayner, a top board-certified facial plastic surgeon, performs facial liposuction in Harrisburg for men and women from Lancaster and York, PA, and other nearby cities.

Before & After Photos
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
To discuss the improvements that can be achieved with facial liposuction, request a consultation with face-focused Dr. Gayner online or call our office at (717) 728-1700.
As a facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Gayner has the specific education, skill, and experience to best use liposuction in the smaller, delicate areas of the face and neck. He can ensure that your procedure is safe and produces an attractive result.
Why Have Facial Liposuction?
Facial liposuction should not dramatically alter the appearance of your face. Instead, it should refine your facial contours. Reasons for having the procedure include:
- Younger patients may choose the procedure because they feel like excess fat in their face and neck makes them look overweight when they are not.
- Older patients often choose to combine their facial liposuction with a facelift for both slimming and rejuvenation.
At Stratis Gayner Plastic Surgery, we strive to provide patients with safe, tailored, and effective approaches to address their concerns. Often, losing weight and related measures aren’t enough to reduce fat under the chin or on the neck, so fat cells must physically be removed. While liposuction is an immediately effective surgical solution, we also offer non-surgical options that take effect over a period of time, such as KYBELLA® and Ultherapy®. Dr. Gayner can help you decide which option is best for your goals.

The Facial Liposuction Procedure
Due to the development of technologically advanced methods of liposuction (such as Smartlipo™ and AccuSculpt™ laser liposuction), most facial liposuction patients do not require general anesthesia. Instead, the procedure can be performed under sedation and local anesthesia. Should the chin and neck require treatment, a small incision will be hidden in the crease below the chin so that it will not be noticeable. Through the incision, a tiny tube will be inserted, through which fat cells will be removed. The whole procedure should take less than an hour.
Facial Liposuction Recovery and Results
To protect surgical results and ensure a smooth recovery, Dr. Gayner recommends that his patients take as much time as they need before returning to work and their other activities. For most patients this is just several days. It’s typical to experience some swelling and bruising, but this should dissipate almost completely after about a week to 10 days.
If you choose Dr. Gayner as your facial liposuction surgeon in Pennsylvania, you can rest assured that you will see results that look naturally slimmer and more balanced, especially if the rest of your body has been slimmed through diet, exercise or body contouring surgery. If you’re interested in slimming your body as well as your face, Dr. Gayner’s partner Dr. John Stratis is a body-focused, board-certified plastic surgeon and can discuss your body contouring options with you.
