Facial Liposuction addresses ageing concerns such as the double-chin and turkey neck appearance, among others. Fatty tissues and deposits being the cause, are eliminated. As the procedure also sculpts, the face is rendered more-defined.
The procedure utilises the tumescent liposuction technique, which was developed to improve outcome and recovery. This technique uses local anaesthesia, thus avoiding the possible complications often associated with general anaesthesia.
During the procedure, a cannula is inserted via tiny incisions on certain parts of the face. Excess fat is then sucked out via the cannula. As it uses the tumescent liposuction technique, Facial Liposuction is safe, facilitates quicker recovery and results in a more natural appearance. There is also no or minimal scarring and in the event of the latter, will subside and fade away.
Areas commonly treated are the submental chin, small areas on the cheeks and the jowl.
● The submental chin: This area includes below the jaw margin extending to the front of the neck. An example is the double-chin, which tends to lend an aged and unhealthy appearance.
● The cheeks: The chubby cheek appearance is often the result of excess subcutaneous fat. More often than not, they are also hereditary. Notoriously resistant to diet and exercise, it is an issue that frustrates many. Facial Liposuction is not to be confused with Buccal Lipectomy, which involves the removal of specific fat called the "buccal fat pad".
● The jowls: Sagging and prominent jowls can make a person look aged and to a certain extent, hostile even. Accumulated fat in this area can effectively be eliminated and treated with Facial Liposuction.
Additionally, Ultherapy may also be used in accompaniment for a more comprehensive treatment that includes the neck. Facial Liposuction procedure may take an hour. During the consultation, our doctor will be in a better position to advise you in regards.
During the consultation, you will be given a set of instructions that include the "do's" and don't". These include:
● Refraining from consuming certain medications. Vitamins E and C should be stopped ONE week before the procedure to reduce the risk of excess bleeding and potential clotting.
● Abstaining from alcohol consumption at least THREE to FIVE days before the scheduled procedure.
● Stop smoking in advance, preferably several weeks before the procedure.
● Do not go on a drastic diet, which can result in extreme weight loss. Instead, adopt a healthy diet and well-balanced diet about TWO weeks before the procedure.
The instructions must be followed to reduce the possibility of complications and to facilitate a smooth and quick recovery. Do raise any concerns and queries that you may have so that your worries can be alleviated.
You will be advised on the measures to take to facilitate a smoother and quicker recovery. The wearing of a compression garment is also necessary for a period between FOUR to SIX weeks after the procedure.
Do remember to take it easy for a little while. Do not engage in strenuous activities, especially water-based activities. Our doctor will advise you on matters about your recovery, and it is essential that you heed the advice given.

Common side-effects include minor swelling, bruising and discomfort. Relieve comes in the form of over-the-counter medications and painkillers, which will be prescribed.
Both women and men are suitable for the procedure, especially those with local deposits of subcutaneous fat in the face and neck.
Women with excessive wrinkles in the neck are also ideal candidates, and when the procedure is paired with laser resurfacing or chemical peels, the results are better than the typical facelift. Those with good skin elasticity are also ideal candidates as Facial Liposuction can provide dramatic but a more natural-looking result. The natural-looking result is also the reason why men prefer to undergo the procedure compared to a facelift.
Fat once eliminated will not regrow. However, it is still essential that you maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to reduce any possibilities of acquiring excess fat and more importantly, for a true overall healthier appearance.
