Do You Need Facial Liposuction Surgery?

Facial Liposuction Surgery
Diet and exercise can help many areas of the body to remove fat. But nothing of the two seems to affect those fatty deposits on the face. It is here that a person can understand the importance of facial liposuction surgery. The facial liposuction in most cases is able to make a dramatic change in the way a person looks by removing the excess fat from under the cheeks, chin, and neck.

Liposuction of the Face
With time and weight gain, the undersurface of the chin of many young people becomes fuller, plumper, and rounded. Similarly, the cheeks can become more round or protruding. The thickness of the neck increases. Removing fat with facial liposuction surgery always helps in such cases by giving both young boys and girls a new and improved appearance.

Liposuction of the face and neck is an effective liposuction procedure for removing localized fatty deposits in the undersurface of the neck and neck region. It is also effective in the area around the ears.

In younger patients, a facial liposuction procedure is usually enough to achieve the desired results. However, for best results in older patients, facial liposuction surgery should be combined with a facelift, brow lift, eyelid, or nose surgery. Liposuction is sometimes performed in conjunction with chin or cheek implants.

Liposuction Technique
Liposuction surgery is a plastic surgery procedure that reshapes a body part by suctioning unwanted fat from specific fat pockets. Aside from the face, other areas of your body where fat can be removed include the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, and upper arms.

The fat deposits are removed with a tube or cannula attached to a vacuum device or through a long syringe in the original liposuction procedure. However, tumescent technique is used in a modified lipoplasy procedure. In this technique the targeted fat tissue is injected with saline solution and a large amount of anesthetic liquid before liposuction surgery is performed. The injected liquid causes the compartments of fat to become swollen and firm or "tumesced." The expanded fat compartments allow the liposuction cannula to travel smoothly beneath the skin as the fat is removed.

Good Candidate for Facial Liposuction
A normal-weight person with firm elastic skin and pockets of excess fat in specific areas of his or her body is a good candidate for lipoplasty. A facial liposuction surgeon may recommend liposuction to improve facial balance by removing fatty deposits from the chin, cheeks, or neck.

A preliminary consultation with a plastic surgeon is always beneficial in determining the best liposuction procedure for you. Facial liposuction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, with patients returning home shortly after the procedure is completed. There is some minor bruising and swelling in and around the liposuction areas. However, a normal appearance can be achieved in five to seven days. No one minds a little discomfort or pain for the results that facial liposuction surgery provides.
