Face liposuction

Excess weight, the natural processes of aging, changes in the hormonal background, hereditary predisposition affect the shape and amount of subcutaneous tissue on the chin, cheeks, neck. Unfortunately, neither sport, nor proper nutrition do not solve the problem. Only modern methods of plastic surgery.

Which zones require face liposuction:

• Chin liposuction. Fat deposits in this section cannot be corrected using massages, body wraps and diets. It is possible to apply lipolitics, but their result is unpredictable – often after the procedure the fat “leaves” unevenly, leaving unevenness;
• Liposuction of cheeks (jowls). After 35-40 years, fat in the cheek area hangs down and after it – the skin, forming a jowl;
• Liposuction of neck. This section first gives off age. Especially the line between the beard and the neck is literally “blurred” due to body fat;
• Liposuction of the widow’s hump. The fat hump in the neck and upper part of the back arises due to hormonal imbalances, abrupt weight gain and anatomical features.

Types of liposuction, which are used for the face and neck:

• Classical (tumescent). Kleine solution is injected into the body fat, which makes the fat tissue more gentle. Through a hollow cannula collects deposits with vacuum. Pros: removes all fat. Cons: trauma, which involves hematomas and long-term recovery, and danger (especially in the face area, where a delicate approach is needed);
• Ultrasonic. Ultrasonic waves destroy fat deposits in a shallow depth. Pros: in addition to removing fat from the cheeks, there is a tightening of the released skin. Cons: Ultrasound has no selective effect and affects the blood vessels, increasing the risk of hematomas and long-term recovery. Particularly dangerous method in the hands of inexperienced surgeons;
• Vibrational liposuction. The end of the cannula emits vibrational waves with a frequency of 6000 vibrations per minute. This effect destroys fat cells. Collagen fibers are stimulated, compacted, formed a lifting effect. The device allows you to adjust the depth of exposure (surface fat deposits or deep – “widow hump”). Pros: vibration extends only to adipose tissue, without affecting the vessels, there is no mechanical effect on the tissue, quick rehabilitation. Cons: equipment and specialists conducting vibrational liposuction are in a very limited number of clinics in Ukraine;
• Laser. The cannula of the device using a laser heats and destroys adipose tissue. Pros: Suitable for low fat deposits. cons: hazardous thermal effects on adjacent fabrics. The ANACOSMA clinic uses three types of liposuction – classical, ultrasound and vibration. For the face and neck area, doctors of the clinic recommend the most safe type of liposuction – vibrational.

Advantages of vibrational liposuction:

• fast recovery. The result after operation is visible on the 3rd day after the edema falls;
• less traumatic. Modern liposuction is minimally invasive procedure. There are no bruises, scars. The device affects the structure of adipose tissue, without affecting the neighboring sections;
• anti-aging effect. Fat deposits on the neck, chin, jowls add age. Less traumatic liposuction of the face rejuvenates the skin, adding confidence to the client.

Possible complications

Like any manipulation, liposuction can be dangerous due to fragility of blood vessels, individual features of the skin and subcutaneous structures in single cases, causing  bruising and severe swelling. All of them pass in 3-7 days. However, patients notice that recovery from post-vibration liposuction is significantly faster and less painful.
