This treatment is always preceded by a consultation with our surgeon. During the no-obligation consultation, you will have every opportunity to ask your questions in a personal conversation and express your wishes and expectations about the treatment. Our surgeon Dr Thanya Tha-In will assess whether face slimming is a suitable treatment for you and whether this treatment will give you the best results. You will be given full information about the treatment and explained the entire process, from precaution to aftercare. You will be told what final result you can expect from the treatment. Photographs are taken beforehand, which are placed next to the after photos after the operation. You can thus see the natural result of the treatment beautifully.
To understand where you are coming from and why you would want this treatment, we like to take the time to get to know you well. The most important thing about the whole treatment is that we understand what your wishes are. Do you want a natural result appropriate to your age? What are your main advantages and disadvantages? How is the symmetry of your face? By getting to know you, we understand what you want. In the end, it's all about you. You can take your time to make your choice. It's your face! We rebalance your inner beauty and your outer beauty.
Face slimming is an outpatient procedure, which does not require admission. You can go home after the procedure and after a short rest period. You are just not allowed to drive yourself yet. Therefore, bring someone with you to our clinic and have them pick you up by car after the treatment. During the face slimming treatment, buccal fat is removed and liposuction of the neck is applied to remove the double chin. The skin is not lifted. Thus, there is no face or neck lift.
The procedure takes 1-2 hours. Removing buccal fat gives you a more defined V-shape and liposuction targets your double chin. Your jawline will tighten and your face will become more contoured. Initial results are visible after 1 to 2 weeks, but will continue to form over the following months. The results last for a long time, but skin ageing will continue. Face slimming can be combined with other treatments, including later in life.
We are happy to guide you throughout the treatment and healing process. We work with a specially developed pre- and aftercare protocol, so that you are optimally prepared for treatment and recovery. Your face may be slightly swollen for a few days after the weight loss. For mild after-pain, swallowing paracetamol will suffice. For the first week, take plenty of rest and sleep in the supine position on an extra pillow. This helps against swelling and promotes the healing process. Avoid pressing, squeezing, bending or lifting for the first few weeks. Do not engage in heavy physical activity for the first few weeks.
You will achieve the best results and fastest healing with a healthy lifestyle. At least stop smoking until the stitches are out, do not drink hot drinks to avoid congestion in the face and do not chew solid food intensively. Otherwise, this will put pressure on the sutures in the face. Keep moving normally after the procedure to keep the blood circulation going and the wound healing quickly. After one to two weeks, you will be well toned again and can resume your daily social activities. For the first three months, do not expose your skin to bright sunlight and avoid using the tanning bed or sauna. We recommend some connective tissue massages from 3 months after treatment. This makes the skin, underlying tissues and scars supple and soft and promotes recovery.
Face slimming is a common surgical procedure at Skin + Surgery Clinics, with a very low risk of complications. In some cases, an allergic reaction, bleeding or infection may occur. However, this is rare as our highly qualified and experienced specialists work according to state-of-the-art treatment techniques and use the best instruments.
Occasionally, specific complications such as nerve damage and asymmetry may occur, which are usually not permanent. If in doubt, contact your attending physician at Skin + Surgery immediately.

Face slimming treatment is a procedure to add more definition to your face by removing volume that is distracting in specific areas. This includes volume that causes bulging cheeks, hamster cheeks, a baby face or a double chin.
By definition, it is a surgical procedure. This means that you are operated on and the results are long-term. Unlike treatments with fillers or injectables, whose effects disappear over time.
During the procedure, the skin is not tightened or lifted. It is therefore important to find a specialist who can properly assess whether this treatment is suitable for you. At Skin + Surgery, you are most welcome to see if you will achieve your desired results with this procedure.
There may be skin sagging. In that case, you will not be helped by just removing the buccal fat and liposuction of the neck. On the contrary, more skin slackening will then occur, as we remove and eliminate volume (fat). Face slimming in that case should be combined with a neck and/or facelift.
One treatment that combines all procedures is the Dr Tha-In Signature Lift. This treatment is a combination that brings together all of Dr Tha-In's expertise, addressing multiple problem areas for optimal, long-term results. Dr Tha-In Signature Lift includes a full deep plane facelift, liposuction with neck lifting and buccal fat removal. The Signature lift comes with the full aftercare package with medication, support bands and connective tissue massages 3 months after the procedure.
Face slimming is suitable for people who have a lot of volume around the lower part of the face, jawline and neck (double chin). Often, this fat cannot be 'exercised' or 'dieted away' and only a combined, surgical procedure gives truly long-lasting results. It is important to assess whether there is sufficient skin elasticity to restore the face to its natural contours. If there is (severe) skin sagging, the doctor will recommend another procedure.
It is a treatment that addresses multiple problem areas: from bulging cheeks to a double chin.
The results are more drastic and much longer lasting than other face slimming treatments such as injectables.
Because you combine treatments, you have one procedure and one recovery time. It also brings a financial benefit than if you did the treatments separately.
Not everyone is a suitable candidate. If there is (severe) sagging skin, another, additional procedure will be needed.
As with all cosmetic procedures, the final results depend much more on the skill of the surgeon than on the actual technique used.
You will have small scars, but our surgeon will hide them as best he can.
With any surgical treatment, there is a chance of a complication. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the procedure and its possible complications. There is the risk of an allergic reaction, bleeding, infection or nerve injury. The chances of these are very small. Our instruments are of the best quality. We work with very fine needles and fine diathermy, so as to minimise trauma to the tissue.
Specific complications of buccal fat removal include nerve damage and asymmetry. The complications are not permanent and often recover over the course of 3-4 months after the procedure.
