Face Cosmetic Liposuction: the No.1 Face Cosmetic Surgery
In face cosmetic liposuction the use of very thin special cannulas permits, in the hands of an experienced surgeon, the return in shape of more harmonious contours of the face and neck.
The mini-incisions that allow the insertion of the cannulas are mostly hidden from view and not leave visible marks on the skin . The anesthesia required for this action is accompanied by local sedation. The infiltration of vasoconstrictive substances minimize the bleeding and the patient can go home immediately after surgery.
The surgical aspiration of excess fat requires an appropriate degree of skin elasticity needed to allow the skin to adapt to new volumes and is performed after the local infiltration of a certain amount of anesthetic and vasoconstrictor substances, according to the most advanced technique of liposuction, called tumescent. The surgeon inserts a thin tube under the skin that goes exactly into the fat excess. Through precise back and forth and arc movements he sucks and shapes the fat responsible of imperfections. At the end of the surgery, and applied the necessary stitches, he applies a compression bandage to be removed, along with points, after 7 days. To accelerate the reabsorption of edema and ecchymosis (normal results of liposuction) it’s recommended to undergo a course of manual lymph drainage and a few sessions of laser therapy.
The face cosmetic liposuction adopted today is far superior in terms of aesthetic quality and safety if compared to those conducted in the past. The thinner cannulas allow a precise action and a thorough remodeling, and not negligible detail, the scars that are practically insignificant. The surgeon pays particular attention to the study phase of liposuction, in order to practice the minimum number of incisions and places them in hidden areas or along the natural skin folds. The administration of vasoconstrictors prior to surgery prevents excessive loss of fluids typical of traditional liposuction and so respects more the tissues.
