Liposculpture Guide

Basics and tidbits about Facial Liposculpture.

So… what exactly is “Facial Liposculpture”?

Facial liposculpture is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the lower face and neck. It is a body countouring technique to help create a slimmer, more attractive face by removing the fat and then tightening the skin, when done properly by a good doctor, creating a youthful look in the patient. Areas targetted by facial liposculpture include the chin (the fat underneath), the cheeks, jowls, and the front and back of the neck.

Who common is this procedure nowadays?

How is the surgery done?
How does the fat get removed from the face, neck, cheek, etc?

Like all liposculpture procedures, it involves sucking the fat out with a tool called a cannula, which is inserted into the skin via small incisions.

The entire Facial liposculpture procedure can be performed in less than an hour!

What are some of the risks involved in having Liposculpture surgery on my face?

• It is possible for facial liposculpture surgery to create unintended bumps or dimples in the skin.

• There is a risk of infection.
• There is a risk of excessive bleeding.
• Sunken cheeks! This is probably the most feared risk. If done improperly or excessively, liposculpture on the face can eventually create a look of sunken cheeks on a patient.

While all medical procedures contain risks, the best antidote is to properly research a doctor whom you can fully trust, and whom has the experience to back it up! This cannot be stressed enough.

How much does it cost to get Facial Liposculpture?
Pinning down a specific number is tricky. It depends on the patients health, the amount of fat to be removed, and also where the treatment is occuring (i.e. prices vary greatly in different parts of the USA and other countries.)

Generally speaking, it’s best to research local doctors in your area and inquire about pricing, but expect to spend a decent amount of money for Facial Liposculpture.
