FACIAL LIPOSCULPTURE

Bothered by excess fat around your cheeks, chin and neck?

Your face says a lot about you as a person. In many ways, it provides others with a lasting impression of who you are, how you feel and what you think.

Diet and exercise can help many areas of the body, but nothing seems to affect those fatty deposits in your cheeks, chin, jaw line or neck. These areas don't usually respond to diet and exercise. They can also obscure who you really are.Now, facial liposuction can provide you with a solution.

Facial liposuction can make a dramatic change in the way you look by removing the excess fat from your cheeks, chin and neck.

THE PROCEDURE

Liposuction surgery is performed to actually remove unwanted localized deposits of fat cells from the body. Liposuction was originally designed for body contouring. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and I.V. sedation. A special tube called a cannula is inserted through a tiny incision placed in an inconspicuous location on the face or neck. Using a suction syringe or pump attached to the cannula, the fat cells are extracted. The result is a resculpting of bulging areas into more attractive and more youthful facial contours

In younger patients, facial liposuction may be done alone. In older patients, it may produce optimal results when combined with a facelift, brow lift, and eyelid or nose surgery. It is often performed with the addition of chin or cheek implants for better definition.

WHO ARE THE BEST CANDIDATES FOR FACIAL LIPOSUCTION?

Most men and women who have localized facial fatty deposits are good candidates for Facial Liposuction provided they:
• Are in good health.
• Have fat deposits disproportionate to the rest of their bodies.
• Have good skin elasticity.
• Have realistic expectations.

IS THE FAT REMOVAL PERMANENT?

Yes! After puberty, we do not create many new fat cells. When you gain weight, you expand the fat cells that you have. Facial Liposuction permanently removes fat cells to improve your facial contour.

Should you gain weight after liposuction, it goes to the fat cells that remain in your body. The localized fatty deposits that existed prior to liposuction can no longer balloon up out of proportion to the surrounding areas. One procedure is usually sufficient. However, some patients require a fine-tuning procedure at a future date.

WHAT WILL MY RECOVERY BE LIKE?

One or two small stitches may be needed to close the tiny incisions. You will wear a snug elastic dressing over the treated area for a few days, and you may be advised to wear it at night for a few weeks. You will go home after the procedure and be advised to rest for at least 24 hours. Mild pain relievers may be needed along with cold packs for a few days. Most patients resume normal activities after 2 - 4 days.

Fat Transfer

Facial wrinkles and creases are part of the aging process. They begin to appear as the underlying collagen and elastin fibers break down and wear out. While this breakdown is part of the natural aging process, it can also result from excessive squinting, frowning and smiling. Fat transfer, also called autologous fat transplantation or micro-lipoinjection, plumps up facial features with a patient's own fat and is a popular alternative to other wrinkle treatments.

THE PROCEDURE

Fat transfer involves extracting fat cells from the patient's abdomen, thighs, buttocks or elsewhere and reinjecting them beneath the facial skin. Fat is most often used to fill in "sunken" cheeks or laugh lines between the nose and mouth, to correct skin depressions or indentations, to minimize forehead wrinkles and to enhance the lips. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia or local anesthesia with I.V. sedation.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF FAT TRANSFER?

Fat transfer to the face is a safe, natural, non-allergenic procedure designed to fill in wrinkles, re-contour your face and provide definition to your cheeks and chin. It can also be used to correct facial deformities. Since fat transfer uses your own fat cells, you can never have an allergic reaction, because it's from your own body. Fat transferred to the face can last as long as three years, and can last even longer in larger areas of non-movement such as the cheek area. This procedure can be very cost effective when combined with another procedure.

WHAT WILL MY RECOVERY BE LIKE?

Patients are up and around immediately following fat injections. Any discomfort following the procedure can be controlled with medication. Some swelling at the treatment site may last up to 36 hours. There may be some bruising, which can be covered with make-up. Your initial injection should last up to six months. Over the first few months about 65% of the fat will be absorbed by your body. The remaining 35% will usually stay in place for years. For results that will last years, patients usually receive three or four treatments over a six month period.

Fat Transfer

Facial wrinkles and creases are part of the aging process. They begin to appear as the underlying collagen and elastin fibers break down and wear out. While this breakdown is part of the natural aging process, it can also result from excessive squinting, frowning and smiling.

YOUR OPTIONS

Injectable bovine collagen, synthetic fillers and fat cells taken from your own body are the  most frequently used materials for filling facial wrinkles and frown lines. While collagen can smooth out wrinkles, injectable collagen isn't for everyone. Some patients are allergic to bovine collagen or may develop an allergic reaction over time. If you are considering collagen injections to correct the early signs of aging, you will need to have a simple skin test prior to your treatment. Synthetic dermal fillers and collagen are also expensive, especially when required in larger quantities. They also get completely absorbed in six to nine months requiring repeated re-injections.

Fat transfer, also called autologous fat transplantation or micro-lipoinjection, plumps up facial features with a patient's own fat and is a popular alternative to other wrinkle treatments. Fat transfer to the face is a safe, natural, non-allergenic procedure designed to recontour your face and can provide definition to your cheeks and chin. It can also be used to correct facial deformities. Since fat transfer uses your own fat cells, you can never have an allergic reaction, because it's from your own body. With fat transfer it is possible to have fat liposuctioned from your thighs and then transferred to any area of your body. Reinjected fat lasts longer in larger areas of non-movement, so it is very successful for the correction of sunken cheeks because this area does not move as often. Fat transfer can also correct atrophic aging of the hands, post-surgical and post-traumatic defects. But not every area of the body responds well to fat transfer. The breasts for instance, are out. Injecting fat into the breast makes it much more difficult to detect breast cancer with mammograms

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF FAT TRANSFER?

Fat transferred to the face can last as long as three years.

Fat transfer can be very cost effective when combined with another procedure.

With fat transfer there's no chance of an allergic reaction.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER MY FAT TRANSFER? The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia or local anesthesia with I.V. sedation.

Patients are up and around immediately following fat injections. Any discomfort following the procedure can be controlled with medication. Some swelling at the treatment site may last up to 36 hours. There may be some bruising, which can be covered with make-up. Your initial injection should last up to six months. Over the first few months about 65% of the fat will be absorbed by your body.
