Facial Liposuction to remove excess fat in the face area.

Facial Liposuction

Facial Liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat from areas of the face, such as the chin, cheeks, and jawline, to create a slimmer and more defined facial contour. Depending on the individual’s fat distribution and concerns, this method helps refine the facial structure, making the jawline and chin more prominent and making a smaller face appear. Excess fat accumulation, especially in the lower face, can contribute to an aged appearance. Undergoing Facial Liposuction can enhance facial aesthetics and create a more youthful and sculpted look.

What is Facial Liposuction?

Facial Liposuction Using Vaser Liposuction is a widely recognized and highly popular technology in the United States. Since the facial area is delicate, Vaser Liposuction is preferred for its high safety standards, requiring a great deal of expertise from the surgeon. After the procedure, there is minimal swelling and bruising, and the skin remains smooth and firm. The recovery time is relatively short because Vaser Liposuction employs high-frequency ultrasound energy to break down fat cells. This allows for targeted fat removal while preserving surrounding tissues such as nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues, minimizing damage.

Vaser Liposuction is an innovative fat removal technique that uses liquid as a medium to conduct high-frequency ultrasound energy, generating heat to selectively break down fat cells. Solid fat, which has a consistency similar to hardened butter, is liquefied for easier removal. This method enables gentle fat extraction, significantly reducing bruising, swelling, and discomfort compared to traditional liposuction techniques. As a result, the recovery period is also shorter.

Who is suitable for Facial Liposuction?

• Suitable for individuals aged 30-40, whose skin still retains good elasticity.
• It is ideal for those with excess fat accumulation in facial areas such as the lower cheeks, jawline, and under the chin.
• Best suited for individuals with good skin elasticity (younger age with minimal skin sagging).
• Liposuction alone may be insufficient for those experiencing noticeable skin laxity due to aging. A facelift procedure is recommended alongside liposuction for optimal results.

The lower facial areas, such as the lower cheeks, jawline, and under the chin, tend to accumulate a significant amount of fat. However, the treatment area must be assessed individually by a doctor through consultation to determine the specific regions for Facial Liposuction.

Advantages of Facial Liposuction with VASER LIPOSUCTION Technology

• Vaser Liposuction is a highly safe procedure.
• It utilizes high-frequency ultrasound energy to break down fat into a liquid form, allowing for efficient removal while minimizing damage to blood vessels, nerves, and surrounding tissues.
• Patients recover quickly after Vaser Liposuction, with minimal bruising and fast-healing incisions. The risk of infection or complications is low, and most patients can resume their daily activities within just one day.
• Visible results can be observed after the procedure. Unlike traditional liposuction, Vaser Liposuction preserves the collagen fibers that support the skin, preventing issues such as skin irregularities or hollowness.

Results from liposuction on various areas

• Facial Liposuction requires a recovery period of 1-3 days, depending on the individual’s skin condition and healing process.
• During the first 1-2 weeks post-procedure, facial swelling is expected, but patients can continue their daily activities as usual. The swelling gradually subsides by the third week.
• As the healing progresses, the facial contours gradually refine into a V-shape. Visible changes can be noticed within the first month, with more defined results by the third month and the most optimal outcome by the sixth month.

Preparation before Facial Liposuction

• Inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, medications, surgical history, drug allergies, or food allergies. If you have medical records from a hospital, it is recommended to bring them during your consultation or notify the clinic before booking the surgery appointment.
• Patients taking blood thinners, anticoagulants, or other prescribed medications should consult their doctor before surgery and inform the clinic before scheduling the procedure.
• Discontinue all vitamins and dietary supplements, such as vitamin E, fish oil, ginkgo biloba, grape seed extract, and ginseng, at least one month before surgery.
• Wash your hair thoroughly before the procedure. On the day of surgery, avoid wearing makeup, and don’t wear contact lenses. If you have vision issues, wear glasses instead.
• Avoid wearing any jewelry, including earrings, necklaces, rings, and body piercings, on the day of surgery. If any jewelry cannot be removed, inform the medical staff in advance.
• Refrain from smoking for at least four weeks before and after surgery. The chemicals in cigarettes reduce oxygen levels in the blood and impair cell regeneration, leading to slower wound healing. Smoking also decreases blood circulation to the surgical site, increasing the risk of oxygen deprivation, delayed healing, and infection.
• Avoid consuming alcohol 1-2 days before surgery and for at least one week after the procedure.
• Ensure your nails are clean before surgery. Avoid nail polish, artificial nails, or any nail extensions on both hands and feet.
• Mentally prepare yourself for the procedure. Avoid excessive anxiety and understand that post-surgery swelling, bruising, and facial or body changes are normal. It takes time for wounds to heal and for you to adjust to your new appearance.

Facial Liposuction after-care

• After Facial Liposuction, patients can resume their daily activities as usual. Mild swelling and bruising may occur for about two weeks but will not interfere with daily life. The swelling and bruising will gradually subside by the third week.
• Avoid getting the wound wet before the stitches are removed. If the wound comes into contact with water, gently pat it dry. Keep the wound clean and dry at all times.
• Avoid fermented foods, pickled foods, and seafood for 2-4 weeks, as they may cause water retention and itching around the wound.
• Refrain from smoking and alcohol consumption for at least four weeks, as they can slow down healing and prolong swelling.
• Avoid lifting heavy objects, intense exercise, or any activities that may put pressure on the treated area for 2-4 weeks.

Post-Facial Liposuction recommendations:

• After Facial Liposuction, it is recommended to undergo skin tightening treatments with RF (Radio Frequency) waves to help improve skin firmness more quickly.
• Additionally, wearing a facial compression garment is advised, as it helps control bleeding, reduces injury, and most importantly, helps the skin tighten and contour more effectively.
