Fat accumulation around the cheeks, chin, and neck is a common phenomenon which tends to result in the appearance of droopy skin, double chin, and hanging jowls. Unfortunately, shedding off this stubborn fat through diet and exercise is not always so easy.

The good news is, facial sculpting with liposuction in Dubai helps patients get rid of the unwanted fat by removing the excess fat deposits and redefining the facial contours to get a more sculpted look.

What is facial sculpting with liposuction?

Facial sculpting with liposuction is a cosmetic rejuvenation procedure which entails the extraction and permanent removal of excess fatty tissues from areas like the cheek, under the chin, and neck.

It is an effective way of correcting the double chin and sharpening the jawline. Liposuction for facial sculpting is often combined with invasive procedures like a facelift to create a slimmer look with attractive contours.

Specifically, chin liposuction is carried out to reduce the appearance of a double chin, neck liposuction is done to remove fat deposits from the nape of the neck, and jowls liposuction is performed to improve jawline definition. These procedures are combined in a single session to sculpt your face in a thorough manner.

What does the procedure look like?

Facial sculpting through liposuction is usually performed as an outpatient treatment and takes nearly 30 to 60 minutes to complete.

First of all, the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon gives local anesthesia to the patient to numb the target areas. Then he or she makes small incisions near the earlobe or the submental area (the natural crease of the chin). The drawn incisions are usually only 1 to 2-cm long. Then a high-power suction tube is entered through the cuts. The suction helps separate the tiny fat globules and extract them through the incision. Finally, the incisions are closed using dissolvable sutures.

Who is an ideal candidate?

The procedure works best for younger people with elastic skin, firm facial tissues, strong bone structure, and a well-defined muscle tone so that the skin easily conforms to new contours after fat removal. In elderly people, skin elasticity is lost to a large extent due to reduced production of elastin and collagen.

Recovery Treatment

Since facial liposuction is a minimally invasive technique, it takes just a few days of recovery time. You might experience mild pain and swelling for the first few days. However, these symptoms go away on their own over time. One can return to normal life activities within a week. It should be noted that patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise for a few weeks to ensure proper healing.

Expected Benefits

Moving on to its benefits, a few perks of undergoing facial liposuction are:

• Quick removal of stubborn fat deposits, including the dreaded double and triple chin

• Sculpted and slimmer face that leaves one with fresh and rejuvenated look

• Fast process with nearly no downtime

Risks of facial liposuction

Though facial liposuction is considered a comparatively safe cosmetic procedure, it comes with some associated risks:

• Bruising

• Swelling

• Infection

• Seroma (fluid collection under the skin layer)

Such complications can easily be avoided by consulting a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with extensive experience with rejuvenation treatments.
