Dr. Dunn developed the Facial Slimming Trio to help patients achieve elegant sculpting and sleek facial contours. Whether you’re concerned about fullness in the lower face, lack of definition in the jawline, or an overly square appearance, the Facial Slimming Trio at Coastline Plastic Surgery offers a comprehensive approach for a natural, nuanced outcome. Our signature approach combines chin liposuction, buccal fat removal, and masseter Botox to provide a harmonious result. Dr. Dunn customizes each treatment to address your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Meet the Facial Slimming Trio! Our unique, comprehensive approach to facial contouring combines three powerful procedures: chin liposuction, buccal fat removal, and masseter Botox. Together, these treatments sculpt and refine the lower face, enhancing definition and balance. Chin liposuction removes excess fat under the chin, while buccal fat removal slims the cheeks, and masseter Botox relaxes the jaw muscles to reduce a square or heavy jawline. The result is a more streamlined, youthful appearance that accentuates your natural allure.
On the day of your procedure, Dr. Dunn will begin by administering anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Chin liposuction is performed first, where a small incision is made under the chin, and excess fat is gently suctioned out to create a more defined jawline. Next, buccal fat removal is completed through small incisions inside the mouth, allowing for the safe removal of fat pads from the cheeks, resulting in a slimmer facial appearance. Finally, Botox is injected into the jaw muscles to reduce muscle bulk and soften the jawline over time. The procedure typically takes one to two hours, and patients can usually return home the same day.
The Facial Slimming Trio addresses several common concerns related to facial contouring. It is particularly effective for individuals with excess fullness in the lower face, a lack of jawline definition, or an overly square jawline due to enlarged masseter muscles. Combining these three procedures offers a balanced facial slimming and contouring approach, creating a more harmonious and youthful appearance.
The Facial Slimming Trio specifically targets the lower face:
Your recovery time will depend on the extent of the procedures performed. Most patients experience mild to moderate swelling and bruising, which typically subsides within a week. Dr. Dunn will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to care for incisions, manage swelling, and when to return to normal activities. You will need to avoid strenuous activities for at least a week. Follow Dr. Dunn’s guidelines and attend all post-operative appointments to ensure the best possible results.
Ideal candidates for the Facial Slimming Trio are individuals who are in good overall health and are looking to improve the definition and balance of their lower face. This treatment is particularly beneficial for those self-conscious about a double chin, full cheeks, or a square jawline. It’s important to have realistic expectations and to discuss your aesthetic goals with Dr. Dunn during your consultation. He will assess your facial structure and recommend the best approach for achieving your desired results.
Results from the Facial Slimming Trio become increasingly noticeable as swelling subsides and the body heals. While some improvements can be seen immediately, full results develop over a few months. The effects of chin liposuction and buccal fat removal are long-lasting, while the results of masseter Botox typically last around six months, after which touch-up treatments may be scheduled to maintain your slimmed-down jawline contour. The outcome is a more balanced, defined, and youthful facial appearance that enhances your natural beauty.
The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the individual and the extent of the treatment.
Local anesthesia or light sedation is used during the procedure to minimize discomfort. Some patients may experience mild soreness or discomfort during recovery, which can be managed with pain medication.
Most patients can return to work within a week, though this may vary depending on the extent of the procedures and your individual healing rate.
The incisions for chin liposuction are small and strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Buccal fat removal is performed through incisions inside the mouth, leaving no external scars.
