What is face liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from problem areas of the body. Liposuction reduces the volume and shapes the body. However, this is not a slimming method, it is a body sculpting method. An ideal slim body can be achieved only in combination: surgery, proper nutrition and physical activity. Liposuction is used to remove localized fat deposits from areas of the body that are difficult to reduce with diet and exercise.
The purpose of facial liposuction is to reduce the number of fat cells in the facial area. The amount of fat removed depends on the person's appearance, weight, and fat volume. The resulting contour changes are constant unless your weight increases significantly.

Who is face liposuction indicated for?

Facial fat removal is indicated in a number of cases:

uneven distribution of adipose tissue;
the presence of a double chin and sagging cheeks;
imbalance of the facial oval, asymmetry of fat deposition;
distribution of fat for children (cheeks, double chin).
Facial liposuction surgery includes a number of applied areas:

Chin liposuction;
Liposuction of the cheeks (flews);
Neck liposuction;
Liposuction of the widow's hump.
If you are concerned about and bring aesthetic discomfort to one of the above areas, then we strongly recommend resorting to face liposuction.

How is face liposuction done?

Before the procedure, the doctor makes the markup, and you discuss with him what to expect from the operation. It is also necessary to tell about your life history, past or existing illnesses, allergies and pass a preoperative test package to avoid risks and complications.

Before the liposuction procedure, the surgeon can mark circles and lines on the areas of the body that need to be treated. The surgeon injects a sterile solution - a mixture of salt water that promotes the elimination of fat, an anesthetic (lidocaine) to relieve pain, and a drug that causes vasoconstriction. The liquid mixture causes the affected area to swell and shrink. The surgeon then makes small incisions in your skin and inserts a thin tube called a cannula under your skin. The cannula is connected to a vacuum that sucks fat and fluid out of your face.

The operation lasts from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the amount of fat removed. Sometimes the surgery is performed under local anesthesia limited to a specific area of ​​the body. It is important to inform the surgeon about the sensations and in case of painful sensations, the dose of anesthetic is adjusted. Sometimes surgery requires general anesthesia. The operating team monitors heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels throughout the entire procedure.

Face liposuction result

The final result is expected in a few months. The volumes will be significantly reduced, and the face contour will be more slender. The skin in the liposuction area may sag somewhat. To avoid this, you should take a course of massages. For the result to be long-term, it is important to control weight. You should not give up visiting the gym and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Postoperative and recovery periods

Pain in the liposuction area, hematoma and edema - may be 1-2 weeks after the procedure. The surgeon will prescribe pain relievers to help control it, antibiotics and ointments to rule out complications and shorten the rehabilitation period. During the rehabilitation period, it is imperative to wear tight compression clothing for several weeks to reduce swelling and avoid complications. A course of massages is also shown.
