Facial liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure that is used to reduce fat deposits and excess skin in the face. It can be used to improve the youthful appearance of the face, as well as reduce the signs of aging. Facial liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves removing fatty deposits from beneath the skin’s surface using a small tube-like device called a cannula. The cannula is inserted through small incisions in the skin and then carefully moved around under the surface of the skin to target and remove fat deposits.
The most common areas treated with facial liposuction are around the neck, jawline, cheeks, chin (commonly referred to as double chin reduction), and other areas where fat accumulates due to weight gain or age-related changes in skin elasticity. While facial liposuction may help reduce fatty deposits and some loose skin in these areas, it will not address excess sagging skin or deeper wrinkles. For these issues, patients may need additional treatments such as dermal fillers or facelift procedures.
If you are considering facial liposuction for yourself or someone else, it is important to consult with an experienced facial plastic surgeon who can assess your situation and determine if this procedure is right for you. An experienced surgeon can help you understand what results you can expect from facial liposuction and answer any questions you have about this popular cosmetic treatment option.
Benefits of Facial Liposuction
Facial liposuction offers many benefits to those looking for a way to reduce fatty deposits and improve their facial appearance. Facial liposuction is an outpatient procedure that does not require general anesthesia, making it a relatively safe and easy procedure for most people. This treatment requires very small incisions, so the risk of infection or scarring is minimal. Additionally, the recovery process is typically much shorter than with other more invasive facial procedures.
The primary benefit of facial liposuction is the removal of pockets of fat from beneath the skin’s surface that can cause an unbalanced or aged look to one’s face. Neck liposuction can also help restore muscle tone in this area for a more youthful appearance. During the healing process, patients may experience some swelling and bruising; however these should subside after a few days and normal activities can usually be resumed within a week or two following surgery. Strenuous activity should be avoided during the recovery period as this may increase swelling and discomfort in the area.
It is important that patients discuss any allergies, medical history, medications being taken, and additional procedures they may be considering with their surgeon prior to undergoing facial liposuction. Liposuction will only remove fat cells from beneath the skin’s surface; it will not remedy wrinkles or sagging skin around these areas so additional treatments may need to be considered if desired results are not achieved with just liposuction alone. With proper care and attention to detail during surgery, patients can expect good results that will last for many years after having this procedure done.
Types of Facial Liposuction Procedures
Facial liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that can help to reduce fatty tissue and improve the contours of the face. Neck lift, submental liposuction, platysma muscle tightening, cheek fat removal, facial contouring, jawline contouring and chin augmentation are all types of facial liposuction procedures used to improve the appearance of an individual’s facial features.
Neck Lift
A neck lift utilizes liposuction to reduce excess fatty tissue along the neckline in order to create a more youthful and toned appearance. This procedure is often combined with platysma muscle tightening and skin resurfacing techniques for optimal results.
Submental Liposuction
Submental liposuction targets excess fat under the chin or jowl area which can accumulate as a result of aging or weight gain. This procedure removes unwanted fat in this area giving it a slimmer look by reshaping the chin and jawline.
Platysma Muscle Tightening
Platysma muscle tightening involves weakening or removing some of the muscles around the neck using sutures or lasers in order to give it an improved shape and tone. This technique is effective for improving creases caused by aging as well as creases occurring from excessive sun exposure or other environmental factors.
Cheek Fat Removal
Cheek fat removal is a common treatment for people who want to minimize hollowed cheeks in order to achieve a more balanced facial profile. By removing pockets of fat from beneath the skin’s surface in this area, it can help restore natural fullness while reducing excess volume causing drooping around the cheeks and eyes.
Facial Contouring
Facial contouring helps refine existing facial features by reshaping areas such as cheeks, jawlines or chins with liposuction techniques. This procedure can also be used to treat asymmetrical faces by creating subtle adjustments that make these features appear more balanced overall.
Jawline Contouring
Jawline contouring is an effective way of reducing excess fat in this area which may cause sagging jowls or double chins due to age-related changes in skin elasticity or weight gain over time. By removing fatty deposits from these areas, it can help create a sharper jawline appearance for those seeking improved definition around their face without resorting to more invasive cosmetic surgeries.
Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation uses implants or fillers such as Juvederm Ultra Plus XC injectable gel to give individuals added definition along their lower jawline for enhanced definition along their lower face shape when viewed from front view profiles.. Depending on the desired outcome these implants may be placed above or below your natural chin line allowing you to customize your look according to your preferences during initial consultation with your plastic surgeon prior.
Regardless what type of facial procedures are chosen successful results require commitment including following the physician’s instructions closely including a healthy diet, and exercise program and keeping up with follow-up appointments post-surgery period through a complete recovery process which will allow minimization if any risks associated including scarring, collagen production, swelling, bruising, etc.
