What Should You Consider for Facial Liposuction?

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

Every February,

various events such as graduation ceremonies, entrance ceremonies, and Valentine's Day

are concentrated,

so people start grooming their appearance in advance.

​

​

At this time, facial fat such as a double chin or cheek fat,

which creates an older-looking impression,

often does not improve easily even with dieting.

Therefore, facial liposuction surgery is sometimes considered.

Like all plastic surgeries, facial liposuction also

requires anesthesia and carries risks such as bleeding,

so you must be careful.

​

​

Many people desire a slim face shape

like a V-line.

In reality, there are cases where the body is thin

but only the face has excess fat,

and there are also many cases where people have worked hard on dieting to reduce fat,

but are worried because only their facial fat won't go away.

In such cases, people come in for facial liposuction

and we also recommend it.

​

​

There are areas where fat is most accumulated

and which many people actually consider

to be a concern.

​

01. Double Chin

The fat in the double chin

is the most common area that doesn't easily go away.

​

​

In that case,

we approach through invisible areas under the chin and behind the ears

to suction the fat

in the double chin.

​

02. Jawline

For those with a lot of fat on their jawline,

the chin looks a bit saggy and gives a heavy,

grumpy impression.

​

​

In this case as well,

we perform liposuction through an approach

around the mouth or behind the ears.

​

Besides these, there is an area

that many people are confused about.

It is the buccal fat pad.

​

​

03. Buccal Fat

Buccal fat

literally means deep cheek fat.

It does not refer to the fat

in the double chin area of the jawline,

but rather the fat in the area

that bulges out when you smile.

​

​

In this case,

because it is located deep in the cheek,

rather than approaching from the outer skin,

approaching through the oral mucosa inside the mouth

allows for fast and safe access

to perform the liposuction.

​

​

There may be cases where

sufficient results cannot be achieved

with facial liposuction alone.

​

This is when the skin is thin and sagging.

In such cases, if only facial liposuction is performed,

just like a deflated balloon becoming wrinkled,

the skin itself becomes thinner and the sagging looks more prominent.

These individuals must thoroughly consult with the medical staff

regarding skin sagging

before proceeding.

​

​

For the double chin,

by evaluating the thickness of the skin felt

when pulling the chin as much as possible,

it is possible to predict how much fat there is.

​

For buccal fat,

since the exact location must be known,

Vibe Plastic Surgery

has conducted its own anatomical research

to create a guide for pre-operative consultations.

​

​

Using this guideline,

if you align it directly with the cheekbones, mouth, square jaw muscles, and jawline,

and then smile,

there is fat that bulges out.

That area is exactly where the buccal fat is located.

​

​

At Vibe Plastic Surgery,

we do not perform facial liposuction

using simply physical force alone,

but we use ultrasound equipment

to break down the fat and suction it.

​

[Reasons for Using Ultrasound

During Facial Liposuction]

​

​

01. To Break Down Fat Finely

If fat tissue is broken down finely

using ultrasound energy

hundreds to tens of thousands of times per second,

it turns into a soft state like juice.

Because the fat is extracted

using a small cannula in that state,

you can efficiently extract fat with less swelling and bruising

even with just a small cannula.

​

​

02. Fat Emulsification and Skin Lifting Effects

Ultherapy and Shurink devices

both use ultrasound energy.

While these HIFU devices shoot ultrasound from the skin,

during liposuction, applying ultrasound from the dermis, i.e., under the skin,

allows you to also

expect a lifting effect

on the skin itself.

​

Through facial liposuction,

rather than expecting the face to become smaller

or feeling a significant diet effect,

we hope you consider the procedure with the mindset

that by suctioning out sagging or heavily clumped fat,

your facial lines will be

cleanly refined.
