FACIAL AND NECK LIPOSUCTION CHICAGO, IL FACIAL CONTOURING SPECIALIST
Facial and neck liposuction is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess fat from targeted areas like the chin, jawline, cheeks, and under the chin (submental area). This treatment enhances facial contours, resulting in a more youthful and sculpted appearance.
Performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, the procedure involves small, discreet incisions through which a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to suction out unwanted fat. Depending on the areas treated, surgery generally takes about 1 to 2 hours.
This procedure is ideal for individuals who have stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. It is important to understand that facial and neck liposuction is a contouring procedure and not a solution for overall weight loss.
Our skilled surgeons provide advanced facial and neck liposuction in Chicago, ensuring customized care and natural-looking results.
The difference in procedures is the extent of scarring. Flaps are used during a simple lift procedure. Fat transfer is used for patients who desire a more fullness over their buttock area. During the fat transfer procedure, the removed fat is placed deeply within the muscle and in many different layers to create a smooth surface without irregularities. It is common for surgeons to perform liposuction as well to enhance the shape of the buttocks.
Fat grafting has changed buttock enhancement to be a simpler procedure, performed within 1.5 hours, with minimal pain, discomfort, and recovery time. Candidates for this surgery are usually 18 years or older and in good physical health.
BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT PRE-OPERATION
If you are a smoker, your surgeon will strongly urge you to quit at least six weeks before your surgery as smoking can interfere with the healing process and the viability of the fat grafts. Also, medications that can increase the risk of bleeding should be stopped. As this surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, it’s important to arrange for transportation.
