FACIAL LIPOSUCTION
WHAT IS FACIAL LIPOSUCTION?
Facial liposuction, also called submental liposuction, is the removal of fat from the neck and under the chin using suction. ... This procedure can significantly reduce excess facial and neck fat.
HOW LONG DOES FACIAL LIPOSUCTION LAST?
APPROXIMATELY 7 to 10 years
Other surgeons say that the skin tightening effects of laser liposuction depend on the quality of the skin. The effects of aging do not stop after a procedure. Men and women can expect the results to last 7 to 10 years, depending on age and the quality of skin.
DOES FAT RETURN AFTER FACIAL LIPOSUCTION?
Fat will not return (and ideal results will remain intact) if the patient maintains their "post-lipo weight." For example, if a patient weighed 130 pounds prior liposuction and had a total of 6 pounds removed through the procedure, fat will stay away if the patient maintains their weight at or below 124 pounds.
HOW LONG ARE YOU SWOLLEN AFTER RECOVERY?
Swelling usually starts to go down by the end of the first week but wearing the compression garments should continue until week four or as otherwise directed. Some degree of swelling may last for as long as six weeks, but within a few days, you should be comfortable enough to return to work.
