What is Face Liposuction?
The term face liposuction does not provide a good description of the procedure. Face Liposuction actually is a combination of the cheeks, jaws and neck. Liposuction by definition means sucking out fat and face liposuction indicates face contouring by the removal of excess fat from the areas that make the face and neck look older.
How is Face Liposuction Performed?
The surgeon removes small volumes of fat through tiny tubes to contour the face, cheeks, jowls, chin and neck. Very tiny incisions made inside the nose, under the chin, or mouth corners so scarring is avoided. Face liposuction does not include the removal of excess skin, so the patient’s skin must be very elastic. If skin elasticity is poor surgery will be needed to removal of the folds of the skin, which is an completely different procedure.
This procedure actually helps re-contouring the face and restore the youthful appearance. The sagging of the skin after liposuction needs to be controlled. This is accomplished by avoiding too much sun damage, drying the face, and exposure to pollution.
Face Liposuction Risks
Face Liposuction risks are quite minimal because the fat around this area is usually less and it is easy to extract. Although, there are a few small risks such as lumpiness of the face because when the fat is removed quickly, the face looses its smooth contours and develops a lumpy appearance. This is avoided by using very small cannula to extract the fat.
Other Face Liposuction Risks Include
- Permanent numbness
- Contour irregularities
- Infection
- Persistent swelling
Infection is another risk of face liposuction. Since the face has very small incisions, there could be a recovery period when a moderate amount of fluid retention (anesthetic and blood) occurs. The fluid could become infected antibiotics prescribed are discontinued and/or does not follow the prescribed post-surgery care.
