Facial Liposuction - The Fix for Stubborn Fat?

Everyone's body stores fat.
Unfortunately, due to genetics, some of us store fat in certain areas of our bodies in disproportionate amounts-including in our faces.
Thankfully, the advances made over the years in liposuction technology now allows us to somewhat alter the fate of our family genes.
All it takes is facial liposuction to contour your face and enhance your looks.
Even thin people can have the appearance of a chubby face.
This is due to your body being prewired to store fat in the area of your face.
This can be frustrating because this kind of fat can be hard to eliminate with diet and exercise.
Sometimes facial liposuction is the only way to get rid of fat within the cheeks, chin, jaw line, and neck region.
Who Makes For an Ideal Candidate for Facial Liposuction The ideal candidate for liposuction of the face is someone who is not happy with the fatty appearance of their face and unable to get rid of it by maintaining a healthy weight.
Good skin elasticity is also ideal, as these people usually have better overall results when they undergo facial liposuction.
However, when combined with another procedure such as a facelift, even elderly patients can achieve optimum results.
It is also important that you be in overall good health.
This combined with realistic expectations are important factors when undergoing a liposuction procedure.
What You Can Expect with Facial Liposuction When undergoing facial liposuction, the cosmetic surgeon makes 1 or 2 holes in certain locations of your face.
It is through these holes that a tiny tube is inserted.
The fat is then suctioned out through the tube until the desired results have been achieved.
The tube is then removed and the holes sutured or glued closed with cosmetic glue and then the area is covered with gauze.
After the procedure, you may be given an elastic band to wear over the area of your face that was operated on.
This is usually worn for approximately two weeks.
Tylenol and ice packs are also usually prescribed to treat swelling and pain after the procedure.
The majority of people who undergo facial liposuction can return to their regular activities within a week of having the surgery.
Another benefit of facial liposuction that patients love is that the results are permanent.
This is due to the fat cells being removed and fat not being stored in the area of treatment any longer.
This is why most patients don't have to undergo the procedure for the same area more than once.
