Facial Liposuction

Facial Liposuction

Facial liposuction is a procedure in which localized deposits of fat are removed to re-contour one or more areas of the body; usually in the thighs, buttocks and abdominal areas, although it is not a weight loss treatment. An unwanted and peculiar side-effect is the fat that's removed can sometimes reoccur; annoyingly, this can happen in a completely different area to where it was taken.

Although there are more, the two most used techniques are Ultrasonic and tumescent and it is likely you will have one of these. The most popular of these two methods, Tumescent, is performed routinely now in the USA as a treatment for unwanted fat.

Fat is removed by a smaller tube and this also helps to reduce the amount of bruising that occurs with the traditional method. Tumescent facial liposuction is now the procedure of choice with cosmetic surgeons because the adrenaline added to the solution used, cuts down the bleeding that normally happens.

With Ultrasonic facial liposuction it is also possible to remove fat from difficult areas such as the upper abdomen, flanks, hip and back.

The conventional method is often more difficult to perform over other cosmetic treatments because the surgeon cannot see where the probe is, and as a consequence internal injury can be the result. If you are considering this type of treatment then discuss it with your cosmetic surgeon who will be able to give advice on the most appropriate method for you.

The facial liposuction procedure although relatively safe does carry some risk of side-effects but fortunately fatalities are very rare. To help reduce this risk, physical examinations are necessary for all subjects to make sure that every individual is healthy enough for the procedure to go ahead. Keeping the wounds clean and free from infection after the procedure is imperative so plastic surgeons prescribe antibiotics to all patients during the healing process. Cosmetic surgery is improving all the time, so are the techniques to perform it and methods to avoid complications.

By using a number of tiny injections, Lipo Dissolve, another process akin to facial liposuction, removes the fat from cellulite and related skin complaint sufferers. One other benefit of Lipo Dissolve is that it does not require any form of anesthesia and patients feel almost no pain whatsoever.
