Lower Face Liposuction Canberra

Lower Face Liposuction is a minimally invasive alternative to a full blown Face Lift Surgery. The Vaser probe uses ultrasound energy to melt fat cells and tighten the collagen fibres in the skin. This results in an improvement to your jowls and overall face shape.

Saggy jowls occur for three reasons:

• Fat pads from your cheeks move south towards your jowls
• Skin becomes saggy
• Muscles in the neck area pull the jowls down more tightly

The Vaser probe will help tighten the skin by causing the contraction of the collagen fibres, as well as melting the fat pads that cause heavy jowls. Wrinkle Reduction Treatments can be applied along the jaw line and in the neck to help prevent additional pulling on the neck muscles. All of these treatments together provide you with a number of ways to improve your jowls (without a traditional face lift).

Vaser tightens the skin using ultrasound technology, as the generated heat will contract collagen fibres in the treated area.

You will be able to see your initial results immediately following your procedure, but the appearance of swelling will need to fade before you can see your complete results. Usually, your final results can take about six months to show, while the skin simultaneously tightens.

Face lipo will permanently remove the fat in the treated area. That being said, if significant weight is gained after the procedure, the remaining fat cells can still expand. To ensure that your results are completely permanent, you should follow a healthy lifestyle by maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine.

A Vaser facelift can also stimulate collagen production, which can create age-rewinding effects, but the natural aging process will still continue over time. To help boost the health of your skin, we recommend following a good skincare routine and implementing some quality anti-aging skincare products.

With age, collagen production becomes slower, causing skin laxity. At the same time, the neck muscles can weaken and the fat in the cheeks can begin to sink down towards the neck. Over time, this creates the appearance of saggy jowls, that can be treated with Vaser lower face liposuction.

Yes, face liposuction is the same as liposuction that is performed on the body, with one difference being that facial liposuction typically involves the removal of less fat.

Your doctor will give you personalised preparation instructions, tailored to your treatment plan. To prepare, you can:

• Quit smoking two weeks before the procedure date
• Stop taking the specified medication or supplements that can slow healing down
• Make sure that the clothes you will wear during recovery does not need to be pulled on over your head
• Organise for someone to pick you up after your procedure
• Prepare healthy meals in advance, ready for your recovery
• Fill any needed prescriptions ahead of time

Since Vaser liposuction will be performed under local anaesthetic and twilight sedation, you should not feel any pain during the procedure. Any pain felt after the procedure can be managed with medication that your doctor can prescribe.

Small incisions will be required to perform the facial liposuction procedure with Vaser technology. Therefore, scarring is a potential side effect of the procedure, however any scarring should be minimal, and the incisions will be placed in discreet areas.

Studies have shown that Vaser technology has less complications compared to other UAL methods. There are inherent risks and complications as there are with any surgery. You should be aware of the potential risks and discuss any concerns you may have with your doctor before your surgery is performed.

Lower Face Liposuction stimulates the formation of new collagen fibres. This allows the skin to retract; resulting in tighter, firmer skin
