Facial Liposuction

There are many people who are genetically inclined and have chubby cheeks. They may be slim and trim normally but can seem like they have put on a lot of weight. Even with exercises and weight control, they still have chubby cheeks. This subcutaneous fat can only be taken out with facial liposuction only. The most popular method is tumescent liposuction of face.

Some also have very prominent jowl lines and this can make a person look very old. Facial liposuction includes the entire face. It can also correct some defective portions of the face. To correct the nose, there is a specific surgery known as rhinoplasty of the nose that can correct a skewed up nose. But facial liposuction is performed to correct the fat and the fine wrinkle lines (if done in younger women).

The face is a very sensitive part of our body and the most visible. Today most surgeries use a micro cannula that has a diameter of less than 1.5mm. The cannula is inserted under the skin layer under local anesthesia through marks made by the surgeon known as adits. These adits are very small and heal considerably as time goes by. After 6-8 months, the adits aren’t visible. With traditional liposuction, the holes world is very big and sutures would be required.

With the latest trend, sutures aren’t required and this helps the patient heal faster. These micro cannula also cause less damage to the conceive tissues and nerve endings. The patient undergoing facial liposuction should be healthy both in mind and body. Those who are younger and have elasticity of the skin can benefit from the facial liposuction only. But those patients who are older and have lost the elasticity of the skin would also require face lifts and in some cases even chemical peels and dermabrasions.

Those who have proportion problems with their face can also opt for facial implants along with facial liposuction. These implants need to be discussed with the doctor in length before their insertion. Face lifts help to remove the fine wrinkles on the face. As a person gets older, facial liposuction can spell wonders for them.

Depending on the number of procedures that you wish to get done in a single liposuction procedure, the cost for facial liposuction can range from $2000 - $4000. These would include the cheeks, jowls, neck and the chin. Nose is not included in the facial liposuction cost. Since liposuction is a medical procedure, one should go to a reputed surgeon who has years of experience behind him or her. Don’t cut corners and go for the cheapest option available.
