Lower Face Liposuction Sydney

Who is a good candidate for face lipo?

Suitability for a procedure is determined by the doctor during the initial consultations, and not all patients considering lower face liposuction surgery are suitable candidates. The doctor will consider multiple factors; however it is essential to understand these examples are just a guide, and they do not guarantee suitability:

• Have good physical and mental health.
• Maintain a healthy diet and exercise.
• Have adequate levels for fat removal in the lower face, jowls, chin, and neck.
• Have realistic expectations about the results facial liposuction can achieve.
• Have good skin elasticity, with no significant loose skin or excess skin in the areas.

What can cause saggy jowls to develop?

Unwanted sagging of the skin in the lower face area and jowls may also be referred to as pre-jowl sulcus. These localised fat pads can develop with age from the cheeks sagging downwards as your skin naturally loses volume and collagen. Additionally, the neck muscles may also become weaker over time, which can make the appearance of saggy jowls more noticeable.

How much does lower face liposuction cost?

At Cosmos Clinic Sydney, we understand that the price of cosmetic surgery is something potential patients can consider when contemplating having Vaser Liposuction. As each patient is different, there is no standardised pricing to have liposuction. The cost of the procedure varies based on individual factors. The total cost of surgery is determined during the initial consultations with your doctor, and will vary depending on multiple factors including:

• If other areas of the face, jowls, chin, and neck, are being treated.
• The amount of fat to be removed.
• The type of IV sedation being used, either twilight sedation or general anaesthetic.
• If additional areas of the body are also being treated with liposuction.
• The amount of time needed in theatre.

What happens during a lower face liposuction procedure?

Vaser Liposuction technology uses ultrasound energy to melt stubborn fat cells and target unwanted fat deposits in the jowls and lower face area of suitable candidates.

Depending on the personalised needs of each individual, most patients undergo a Vaser Liposuction procedure using IV sedation, either twilight anaesthesia or general anaesthesia, in combination with a local anaesthetic numbing solution in each treatment area.

Small incisions are made behind the ears and under the chin, before each area is numbed with local anaesthesia infiltrated into the tissue. Vaser Lipo technology uses ultrasound energy, which may have an effect on collagen fibers in the fatty tissue.

What other areas of the body can be treated with Vaser Liposuction?

When treating the face with Vaser Liposuction, suitable patients may also wish to treat other areas. Chin lipo and neck liposuction are combined together, to remove the small pocket of fat localised under the chin where the double chin area meets the neck. There are also options to treat other areas of the body, such as the stomach and love handles.

Are there any risks or side effects from having face lipo?

Vaser Lipo is a surgical procedure, and all invasive procedures have risks, side effects, and potential complications which must always be considered. Your Cosmos Clinic Sydney doctor will discuss all of the possible side effects in depth during your initial consultations, these risks can include but are not limited to:

• Bruising and bleeding.
• Pain and aching.
• Prolonged swelling.
• Asymmetry or an uneven appearance.
• Numbness and changes in skin sensation.
• Loose skin that doesn’t retract or tighten.
• Skin irregularities, fibrosis, scar tissue.
• Unacceptable scarring.

Does lower face lipo leave scars?

Scarring is always a potential risk when having any procedure requiring incisions sites. The small incisions needed for facial liposuction surgery are placed behind each ear and under the chin.

Are the results from liposuction surgery permanent?

For suitable candidates, Vaser Lipo can effectively reduce the number of fat cells in each area being treated. However, it’s essential that all potential patients understand that there will always be fat cells remaining in each area of the body treated. These remaining fat cells can increase and decrease in size with weight gain and weight loss. Additionally, over time, everyone will see facial fat pad changes and experience skin sagging in their lower face areas, including the cheeks, jowls, chin, and neck. Having Vaser Lipo does not stop the natural ageing process from continuing to occur.
