Facial Liposuction

Facial liposuction, also known as facial contouring or buccal fat removal, is a cosmetic procedure designed to slim the face and define facial features.  

Our procedure: 

• Candidacy: Ideal candidates for facial liposuction are adults who have noticeable facial fat accumulations. This fat can often resist diet and exercise, making it difficult to lose without the help of a cosmetic procedure. Good skin elasticity is also a prerequisite, as the skin needs to be able to bounce back after the procedure to achieve a smooth, tight look. The procedure is typically not suitable for those over 60, unless combined with a facial lifting surgery to address skin sagging. 

• Results: After the procedure, the face should look slimmer and more defined, with excess fat removed from problem areas. The full results are typically visible within three weeks, with more noticeable changes seen in six months or more. 

• Duration: The procedure usually takes an average of 2 hours, but this can vary depending on the specific areas of the face being treated. 

• Duration of Results: The results of facial liposuction can often be seen within one month, with clearer results after three months. The results are generally permanent, provided that the patient maintains a stable weight. 

As with all cosmetic procedures, facial liposuction has some risks and potential complications, including infection, bruising, numbness, and changes in skin sensation. It's also important to keep in mind that the procedure will not significantly tighten loose or sagging skin, so a facelift or other tightening procedure may be required for those who also have this concern. 

Before undergoing facial liposuction, it's crucial to have a detailed consultation with a certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals, understand the procedure, and ensure that it is the right choice for you. The surgeon will evaluate your health status, examine your face, and take into consideration your expectations and aesthetic goals to decide the best course of action.
