Facial Liposuction

Facial Liposuction is used to contour the body and face by removing localised fat.

Liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic procedures.
It is used to contour the body and face by removing localised fat.
Facial liposuction mainly removes the deposits of fat under the jaw, on the cheeks, in front of the ears and in the neck.
Changing the rounded contours of the face and neck can produce a dramatic improvement in facial appearance.
Fat deposits in the face do not only occur in overweight people.Thin people may have chubby areas of the face for genetic reasons, and these are not easily removed through traditional weight loss regimens.
Facial liposuction may be the most appropriate way to reduce these areas of excess fatty tissue.
Facial liposuction works best in younger people when the skin still has elasticity. For an older person, facial liposuction can be combined with a face lift to tighten any loose skin.

The first stage of facial liposuction is to inject warm fluid into the fatty tissue you would like removed.
This helps liquefy the fatty tissue in the area making it easier to remove.
The solution contains local anaesthetic which reduces any discomfort associated with the procedure.
Adrenaline is also included in the mixture which reduces bruising following surgery.
The technique of using fluid to help dissolve the fatty tissue and reduce bruising is known as tumescent liposuction.
Vaser liposuction is a technique in which ultrasound energy is used to help dissolve the fatty tissue. This helps liquefy the fat cells making them easier to remove.
This results in less bruising and swelling, a quicker recovery period and in some cases more complete removal of the fatty tissue.

Facial liposuction is usually performed as an outpatient procedure meaning you can go home when it is finished.
Usually there will be minor swelling and bruising in the area where the incision and liposuction was done.
The area will initially be swollen but this should start to settle after 5 to 7 days.
You may have to wait until 4-6 weeks following the procedure for all the swelling to settle.

Facial liposuction is a medical procedure that requires incisions and anaesthetic that can be performed in a properly equipped plastic surgery and cosmetic centre.
The results will be a more youthful, smooth and well contoured face that has tighter skin and more defined features.
In appropriate cases facial liposuction can produce dramatic results with improved facial balance and reduction of fatty deposits in the chin, neck and cheeks
