What are the risks of Vaser lower facial liposuction?

All medical procedures carry some risks and facial liposuction is no exception. You can minimise serious complications by choosing a liposuction expert who is well trained and experienced in Vaser liposuction. The following are some minor risks associated with facial liposuction:

• Swelling, tenderness, painand bruising
• Damage to facial nerves
• Numbness or loss of sensation in the treatment area
• Infection, scarring, bleeding and blood clots under the skin
• Edema or build-up of fluid under the skin
• Poor healing
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Asymmetry
• Skin irregularities
• Injury to facial nerves

How does the Vaser method simultaneously tighten the skin?

At the same time as the ultrasound energy melts the unwanted fat, the heat also works to stimulate collagen production, which causes a natural skin-tightening effect over time. This allows the skin in the treatment area to conform to the new face shape after cheek liposuction.

Can I combine multiple treatments with cheek liposuction?

Yes, some patients choose to undergo other treatments at the same time as cheeks lipo. The additional procedures can be surgical or non-surgical. If you are interested in combining procedures, please let your doctor know at your consultation.

When are results noticeable?

Although results can be immediate, you will need to allow swelling and bruising to subside before you can assess the results. Usually, six months will be needed for the full healing process to be complete.

Is cheeks lipo permanent?

Liposuction procedures create permanent fat removal results. That being said, the remaining fat cells in the treated area can still swell up and cause the re-appearance of slightly chubby cheeks if patients happen to gain a large amount of weight after surgery. For ideal, permanent results, patients should maintain their current weight by following healthy lifestyle habits. As for the skin-tightening effect of the Vaser treatment, the situation of collagen production can have long-term benefits, however, the natural aging process that can cause the appearance of sagging skin in the future will still continue. To maintain great, healthy, and youthful-looking skin, you can implement anti-aging products into your skincare routine and protect your skin with an SPF 50+ whenever you’re exposed to direct sunlight.

Is the Vaser cheek liposuction procedure painful?

Chubby cheeks removal with Vaser liposuction requires local anaesthetic, so patients should be comfortable and should not feel any pain.
