What is Jowl Fat Removal?

Jowl fat removal is a surgery to remove the fat around the corners of the mouth (jowl fat).
Due to aging and gravity, jowl fat droops, causing sagging, looseness around the mouth, marionette lines, and a bulldog face.
By removing jowl fat, sagging and looseness around the mouth are resolved, and the jawline becomes remarkably more defined, leading to a youthful effect.
Not only does it improve sagging, but early removal can also help prevent future sagging.

Recommended for the following people

  • Those whose marionette lines have become noticeable

  • Those who want to define their jawline

  • Those who did not see results from face slimming injections

  • Those who want to eliminate sagging around the lower face and mouth

  • Those who want to get rid of the sagging around the mouth

POINT1

Accurate Procedure Marking and Skill

Marking is done to determine the areas and range to be approached during the procedure. To ensure a successful procedure, it is crucial to accurately assess and mark the areas to be treated. If this evaluation is inadequate, it can lead to significant failures.
Common failure examples include hollows or uneven contours along the face, which occur when proper marking is not done.
At LIVELY CLINIC, we use "4D Marking Simulation," which differs from traditional marking. Traditional marking only involves writing down the areas where suction will occur. In contrast, 4D marking includes detailed notes on the suction areas, suction volumes, fat layers to be suctioned, and areas to be avoided. Additionally, while traditional marking is written once before the procedure, 4D marking allows the procedure process to be reviewed through simulation.

POINT2

Former Liposuction Specialist Clinic Experienced Doctors in Charge

Liposuction and fat removal around the cheeks require advanced technical skills and design expertise, so there are few clinics offering these procedures in Japan. At LIVELY CLINIC, doctors with over 2,000 cases handled at a former liposuction specialist clinic are in charge, bringing refined skills to ensure high-quality results.

POINT3

Diagnosis based on numerous cases of appropriate indications

Fat removal varies in its suitability for each patient. Some people have facial thickness made up of fat, while others have it made up of skin thickness. The amount of fat to be removed must also be decided considering the overall balance of the face; otherwise, it could cause an excessively hollowed and aged appearance. At LIVELY CLINIC, we observe each patient's fat distribution and provide counseling and suggestions based on their suitability. Unnecessary suggestions will not be made.

What is Jowl Fat Removal?

Jowl fat removal is a procedure to remove fat located near the corners of the mouth (jowl fat). By making a small incision in the mucous membrane near the sides of the mouth and inserting a suction tube to remove excess fat, the procedure targets fat primarily located in the lower part of the face. This can help improve sagging and marionette lines, as well as provide a sharper and more contoured facial line.

Merits/Demerits of Jowl Fat Removal

Merits
  • Improves sagging at the corners of the mouth
  • Can provide a slimming effect for the face
  • The small incision at the corner of the mouth makes scarring less noticeable
Demerits
  • Over-removal may disrupt facial balance and result in an unnatural appearance

Buccal Fat Removal

Sleek facial contours

While malar fat is a superficial fat layer close to the skin, buccal fat is deep within the muscles. Although both are located in the cheek, removing them has different effects. In cases where removing malar fat alone does not sufficiently improve sagging cheeks, removing buccal fat can help reduce nasolabial folds and marionette lines for a more youthful appearance.

Buccal Fat Removal

Malar Fat Removal

A more youthful impression

This is a facial surgery that removes fat by inserting a cannula (liposuction tool) from inside the mouth to suck out the fat. Facial fat is difficult to lose through dieting, and even when successful, it often rebounds once the diet is stopped. Malar fat removal removes fat cells directly, making rebound less likely, allowing for a slimmer face without effort.

FAQ

Q

Is stitch removal necessary?

A

We use dissolvable stitches, which naturally dissolve over time. Therefore, no visit for stitch removal is required.

Q

Will there be pain during the surgery?

A

Local anesthesia is used, so there will be no pain. For those sensitive to pain, additional options like nitrous oxide or topical anesthesia are available. Please feel free to consult with us.

Q

Can the results revert after the procedure?

A

Since the surgery removes the fat cells themselves, rebound is highly unlikely.

Q

Will the scars from jowl fat removal be noticeable?

A

The procedure involves making small incisions, just a few millimeters, inside the corners of the mouth on both sides. As a result, scars are rarely noticeable.
