Facial Liposuction

There are some common areas in the face that are more prone to excess fat cells. Due to the high amount of fat deposition in these areas, people develop a bulgy and fleshy look, which makes them more unattractive. Through liposuction, fat cells can be eliminated from these areas and they can be finely shaped and resized. The major fatty areas in the face are as follows:

• Chins: Submental chin contains a lot of fat, which mostly happens through genes. Irrespective of one’s age and sex, the fat contained in chins results in an older and chubby look.
• Cheeks: Subcutaneous fat is also present in the cheeks which again disrupts facial appeal and physical appearance. The worst thing is such fats don’t evade even after dieting and exercising. By using local anesthesia during liposuction, fats can be completely removed from the chins and cheeks.
• Jowls: Lower cheeks also develop a small accumulation of fats that overlies the jaw bone and are known as jowls. When jowls become more prominent, it spoils one’s looks and personality and develops older looks.

An ideal candidate for liposuction surgery on the face must have the following factors:

• Good health: Good health and well-being are very vital for facial liposuction. Before opting for this treatment, both surgeons and candidates must ensure stable medical conditions and a good lifestyle since the treatment tends to interfere with certain medical disorders and diseases.
• Disproportional fat deposits: Those opting for the treatment should have disproportional fats, as compared to the whole body. Since fat cells also depend on the overall genetic structure and bone anatomy, therefore some physical structures, by birth are heavy. If facial liposuction is done on such bodies, not only it will spoil the overall physical appearance but will cause an imbalance between the face and other body parts.
• Good skin elasticity: Liposuction involves penetration of the cannula deep into the skin. In order to withstand the treatment processes, skin must be highly flexible and elastic. Tight and firm skins are not suitable for any liposuction. The elasticity of skin also determines its recovery period. More flexible skin tends to recover fast and get normal, with ease.
• Realistic expectations: Candidates must understand that there is a limit to extracting fat cells from the body. They must not have overwhelming expectations. Liposuction is a medical procedure that has its own course of action. Before availing of the treatment, candidates must consult their surgeon and have a clear idea about the end result.

After facial liposuction, fat removal is permanent, but only after puberty. Not many fat cells get created post-puberty. As candidates gain weight, the fat cells within their bodies expand. Through this treatment, they can permanently get rid of unwanted fat and improve their facial contour. Fat cells that will grow after the liposuction shall remain within the body. The fatty locations that existed before the treatment shall never increase and be out of proportion to its nearby areas.

With the use of smaller cannulas, fibrous connections between the skin and the body are sustained. Over time, it gradually contracts. Therefore, patients will hardly notice any skin folds by the neck. This will also avoid the necessity for removing surgical skin and will produce good results, solely by facial liposuction.
