facial liposuction

Liposuction is commonly associated with the body and limbs such as the tummy, legs and arms. As such, not many people would think of the face, but Facial Liposuction does exist.

Among other benefits, the procedure eliminates fatty deposits, tightens loose, saggy skin and contours the face for better definition.

Looking more youthful as one ages is no more a secret aspiration these days. Considering the ever-increasing number of people seeking such treatments across the age group, it reiterates the point that first impression matters.

How does Facial Liposuction work?

Facial liposuction addresses chubby cheeks and ageing concerns such as the double-chin and turkey neck appearance, among others. Fatty tissues and deposits, being the cause, are eliminated.

Dr Ivan Puah, who has been performing liposuction, correction surgery and gynecomastia surgery for more than 15 years, has developed a liposuction technique called MDC-Sculpt®️ Lipo technique. This proprietary approach is to achieve the three main objectives of successful and optimal contouring results for patients – thorough fat removal, precise sculpting and skin tightening.

MDC stands for Multi-Dimensional Contouring. It effectively removes fat cells and therefore limits the future deposition of fat in the treated area. The MDC-Sculpt®️ Lipo technique is a novel fat removal and facial/body sculpting technique that enables Dr Ivan Puah to remove more than 90% of localised subcutaneous fat tissues and tailor facial/body sculpting while tightening loose skin that is not achievable by traditional liposuction.

An advocate that body sculpting surgeries is 70 percent art and 30 percent science, Dr Ivan Puah developed this liposuction technique to allow for better efficacy, comprehensive fat removal and enhancing and harmonising of natural facial contours and musculature.

Which areas are suitable for Facial Liposuction?

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.

Pre-procedure consultation

During the pre-surgery counselling, you will be given a set of instructions that include the "do's" and don't" such as:

● 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 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.

The recovery process

You will be advised on the measures to facilitate a smoother and quicker recovery. The wearing of a compression garment is also necessary.

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 you must heed it.

Here at Amaris B. Clinic, aftercare plays a significant role in assisting you with faster recovery while ensuring optimum results. We offer a bespoke aftercare program designed to help with the healing process. We carefully assess your clinical condition and tailor the treatment to your expectations.

What are the common side effects?

Common side-effects include minor swelling, bruising and discomfort. Relief comes in the form painkillers, which will be prescribed.

Who are the suitable candidates for Facial Liposuction?

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.

Does the fat come back after Facial Liposuction?

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.

What is buccal fat pad removal?

The procedure is also known as buccal lipectomy or cheek reduction surgery. The procedure thins the cheeks and helps define facial contours by removing the buccal pads in cheeks.

What is buccal fat pad?

It is the mass of fat, which everyone has, commonly found in the middle of the cheek, between the facial muscles. The size of a buccal fat pad influences the shape of a face.

Why do people remove their buccal fat pad?

The size of a buccal fat pad affects a face shape and this can result in a host of appearance. Some of those who opted for the procedure to achieve a more slimmer face like the “V-shaped” face. Some people tend to store more fat in certain areas such as the face and commonly this is due to genetics. While most would contend that having baby fat on the face lends a youthful appearance, people who actually have them may feel otherwise.

Ideally, those with slim faces are not advised to opt for buccal pad removal as this can cause a gaunt appearance as they age.

Difference between buccal fat removal and facial cheek liposuction

Facial liposuction delivers different results and is done for different indications compared to buccal fat removal procedures - It can eliminate excess fat from jowls, jawline, chin and upper neck. Not only does it help to reduce excess fat from these areas, but it also allows a skilled doctor to sculpt and re-create a more defined jawline and chin. Best of all, facial liposuction, if done in a specific way, helps to lift and tighten facial skin. Therefore, the facial liposuction is suitable for patients who wish to look slimmer, to achieve lower facial skin tightening and a more defined jawline and chin.

Facial fat volume and distribution are essential in sustaining facial contours and youthfulness. Losing and removing too much facial fat or losing fat in the wrong areas would make one look less youthful and rejuvenated. One of the main complications of buccal fat removal is that too much fat pad is removed, as it would lead to hollowing of facial tissues.

Facial liposuction is a more suitable sculpting procedure as it can effectively remove excess facial fat pockets while lifting the lower face resulting in a well-defined and slimmer jawline. With its capability to eliminate excess fat from other parts like the jowl, neck and chin, and in the hands of experienced and qualified doctors, facial liposuction can produce a more balanced and defined appearance.
