Lower Face Liposuction Gold Coast

To remove stubborn fat in the mid to lower facial areas, Cosmos Clinic Gold Coast delivers face liposuction with advanced Vaser technology.

Vaser liposuction is a comfortable procedure, only requiring local anaesthetic and twilight sedation. The method is less invasive than alternative methods, using tiny incisions and innovatively utilising ultrasound technology to melt the targeted fat before removal. The small incisions will be made in concealed areas, typically behind the ear and under the neck. The fat cells in the treated area will begin to break down as the ultrasound probe is moved back and forth under the skin, heating up to 38 to 40 degrees Celsius. The heat will also contact collagen fibres and stimulate collagen production in the treatment area, creating a skin-tightening and anti-aging effect. The melted fat will then be removed with a small cannula, without harming the surrounding tissue.

The face liposuction procedure with Vaser technology is powerful and efficient, taking about 30 to 60 minutes to perform and allowing patients to return home on the same day.

The benefits of Vaser liposuction procedures

• Removes fat from the mid to lower facial areas
• Tightens the skin with ultrasound energy
• A less invasive method than other liposuction technologies or a surgical facelift
• Stimulates collagen production to reduce signs of aging

Ideal candidates for face liposuction

If you have unwanted fat in your mid to lower facial areas that you would like to remove, with a less invasive option than a traditional facelift, you can be a good candidate for face liposuction with Vaser. To decide whether you are a suitable candidate, your doctor will assess your features and discuss your aesthetic goals during your consultation at Cosmos Clinic Gold Coast.

Some factors to consider when determining whether you are a good candidate for facial liposuction are:

• Candidates should be in good physical and mental health
• Candidates should hold realistic expectations for the results of the procedure
• Patients are typically in their 40s, however, patients can experience signs of aging and unwanted facial fat at various stages of life
• Willingness to follow a healthy diet and exercise routine after recovery to maintain results will make a good candidate

Using the powerful Vaser liposuction technology, a younger appearance with improved facial definition is achieved in a less invasive fat removal process than a surgical facelift.

The unwanted fat that contributes to the appearance of jowls and sagging skin on the face can be removed using ultrasound energy, breaking down the fat cells to allow for a gentler removal. Tighter skin is achieved by stimulating collagen production and contacting collagen fibres, creating an anti-aging effect.

The procedure demands little downtime and results are fully visible after swelling has subsided, about six weeks after the procedure.
