What is a facial liposuction?

Facial Liposuction: Liposuction improves the facial shape by removing exercise-resistant fat deposits with a tube and vacuum device. It can also be performed using the tumescent technique, in which targeted fat cells are infused with a saline containing solution with a local anesthetic before liposuction to reduce post-operative bruising and swelling. The results of liposuction on the face can offer significant befor.

Fat extraction: Fat liposuction uses vacuum to aspirated fat via small cannula. There are a variety of techniques, approaches, and devices to accomplish this. However there is generally a tendency to preserve facial fat or reposition it rather than extract it.

Liposuction: Liposuction is the removal of excess fatty tissu through a small incision with the use of a cannula with suction.

Facial Liposuction?: Facial liposuction surgery refers to removal of adipose tissue through suction assisted fine cannulas. Generally speaking, removal of fatty tissue from the face is actually quite infrequently indicated and performed (in my practice).

Facial liposuction: Modern liposuction consts of placing tumescent solution in the area to be treated. This solution consists of lactated ringers or normal saline, reduces pain (using lidocaine) and reduces bruising/bleeding (using epinephrine). Cannula then are used to extract the solution and the fat. Compression garments are used to keep a good contour. This can be done on the face and neck if desired.
