1AM I A SUITABLE CANDIDATE FOR FACIAL LIPOSUCTION?
During your consultation, Dr. Garcia will help evaluate if you’re a good candidate for facial liposuction. For starters, the fact that you’re considering facial liposuction is a good indicator that you understand the benefits of treatment. If you are seeking to remove stubborn fat in the neck, lower face or surrounding areas of the face, facial liposuction can provide permanent removal that enhances the facial contours. Generally, as long as you’re in good physical health, you are a suitable candidate for facial liposuction.
2WHAT ARE MY EXPECTED RESULTS?
Dr. Garcia will illustrate your potential results during your facial liposuction consultation. After discussing your treatment goals and identifying the appropriate surgical techniques, you and Dr. Garcia can explore potential outcomes through before and after photos of previous patients.

Facial Liposuction vs. Buccal Fat Extraction
Facial liposuction and buccal fat extraction, also called buccal fat removal, are two popular cosmetic procedures that can help patients achieve a slimmer, more contoured appearance in the face. While both procedures involve removing excess fat from the face, they are performed in different areas and have different goals. Facial liposuction is often the preferred choice for patients who have excess fat in the neck, jowls, or lower face. It can help create a more defined jawline and reduce the appearance of a double chin. On the other hand, buccal fat extraction is a better choice for patients who have a round or chubby appearance in the cheeks, which cannot be addressed through facial liposuction alone. This procedure can create a more contoured, angular look in the cheeks, and is often preferred by patients who want a more dramatic change in their facial appearance.
Surgeon Experience?
Surgeon experience is one of the utmost qualities to consider when seeking a facial liposuction surgeon. Your surgeon is directly responsible for your results, so it’s essential to pursue surgery with an experienced facial liposuction surgeon. Dr. Garcia is a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, demonstrating expertise in all qualities of facial liposuction surgery. With over 15 years as North Florida’s premier facial plastic surgeon, he has performed hundreds of facial lipo procedures and is passionate about furthering education in the liposuction community.
