The ultrasound-assisted micro-probes are of 1. The ultrasonic radiation creates gentle vibrations that dislodges and emulsify fat cells the process called lipolysis. The dissolved fat starts to seep out from the incisions that are either suctioned using an aspiration system, or reduced with lymphatic drainage massage.
This ultrasound-based lipolysis reduces potential risks of invasiveness, scarring and bruising. Since the sound vibrations can dislodge stubborn fatty tissues with gentle oscillation, there is minimal requirement of manual exertion of the cannula, reducing chances of nerve perforation, necrosis etc. There is a non-surgical measure of administering ultrasound based lypolisis as well. This is to apply a hand held device over the skin of the problem area causing emulsification of fat cells under the uppermost layers of skin.
The fat is dissolved with bodily fluids and is easier to shed through sweat and excretion. This procedure is indicated for minor changes and is effective for very little fat reduction.
Several sessions are required to achieve a more dramatic result, indicated at an interval of weeks, as is applicable for the patient. Non-invasive facial lipolysis is completely safe, and a relaxing experience.
Following the session, patients are indicated exercise, lymphatic massage and detoxification and to drink at least 8glasses of water a day. Buccal Fat Removal surgery is relevant to facial liposuction, since the objective of both the procedures is to reduce excessively plump cheeks or chipmunk cheeks to achieve a proportionate facial contour.
Buccal fat pads are removed with an incision inside the mouth and make the cheeks more slender. However, the deep fat of buccal pads also plays a pivotal function in carrying the essential facial volume, and muscle support. With normal aging, the volume of the cheeks reduces, so even if the patient achieves slender cheeks with the surgery, the results might not be lasting, and lead to the formation of hollow cheeks later in life, as well the cheek muscles to collapse.
As you age, you automatically begin to lose fat and muscle tone in the facial area. In the s, when liposuction was first introduced , most plastic surgeons felt comfortable applying it to any area of the body a patient requested.
However, through trial and error, we have come to understand that the face is not a viable option for liposuction treatment, and there are several risks involved in the procedure. Removing fat from your face can lead to a hollow look and cause your skin to become loose, which adds years to your face.
Another reason is that your face is full of nerve endings, and face liposuction can cause damage, affecting your ability to make certain facial expressions. To access certain areas of the face for fat removal with lipo, surgeons need to make an incision close to the surgical site. Liposuction requires the surgeon to move the cannula back and forth to break up the fat cells.
This can lead to visible scarring, affecting the aesthetic results of the treatment. Facial deformity or asymmetry often occurs if the fat removal is uneven.
Liposuction is ideally suited to larger areas of the body, as it is difficult to remove small pockets of fat, such as those found on the face, using this technique. While liposuction infections are rare, they can be serious and leave permanent marks on your face.
Some infections include cellulitis, staphylococcal abscesses, and mycobacterial infections, which may need to be treated both with medication and surgery, resulting in scarring. Length Half an hour to one hour approximately. Anesthesia Depending on the patient, intravenous sedation, local or general anesthesia can be used.
Possible Side Effects Swelling, soreness, and a temporary burning sensation are usually experienced in worked areas. Risks Infection, asymmetry of the face, pigmentation changes hyper or hypo and decreased sensibility of the areas. Recovery Full recovery time is between twenty to twenty-eight days, during which the patient will be asked to wear a compression garment.
Results The procedure achieves good results in patients with excess fat along the jowl and in the neck, good skin elasticity, and minimal platysmal banding. Related Topics.
