Cheek Liposuction Gold Coast

Chubby Cheeks is a physical trait that can make a person with a slim physique seem bigger than they really are. It can give some the appearance of having overly large cheekbones, a double chin, and can even mimic the appearance of facial bloating. Chubby cheeks are a stubborn area to slim.

Even with facial exercises, a healthy diet (eating healthier and fewer calories), facial massages and the reduction of water retention, it can still be difficult lose face fat. Cheeks (as an area) can be resistant to diet and exercise; therefore, surgical intervention may need to be taken. This can be done via Vaser Liposuction to remove the excessive fat cells in this area.

Chubby Cheeks can be caused by genetics or ageing. An excessive number of fat cells in the cheek area can produce the appearance of a fuller, round face. Having excess body fat, and being physically large, can also exaggerate the appearance of chubby cheeks.

Vaser liposuction is designed with highly advanced technology and an innovative, gentler method of liposuction than other methods. Vaser incorporates ultrasound energy to break down the stubborn fat cells in the treatment area before the fat is suctioned out. The method of melting the fat first will prevent harm to surrounding tissues in the treated area, unlike traditional liposuction methods in which the fat had to be more invasively taken out of the area and would sometimes leave lumpy or uneven results.

With Vaser, the heat from the ultrasound energy also works to tighten the skin in the treated area, as it stimulates collagen production.

During the cheek liposuction procedure with Vaser, collagen production is stimulated which causes the skin to tighten in the treated area, naturally conforming to the new face shape.

If you are very thin and do not have very much fat in your cheeks, cheek liposuction is likely not a good option for you. Smokers, individuals with certain health conditions, and those who may not hold realistic expectations as to what can be achieved with Vaser cheek liposuction may also not be considered as good candidates.
