Hello. This is Woori Plastic Surgery in Seolleung.
Recently, as the seasons have changed, the number of people coming in for consultations about facial liposuction has increased noticeably. Today, let’s look at the effects of facial liposuction surgery and why results can vary depending on the situation.
Causes of a double chin
There are many causes of a double chin. A double chin can be caused by excess subcutaneous fat, deep fat, or sagging skin due to aging. The results after surgery vary depending on the cause. For example, if a double chin is caused by sagging skin from aging, removing fat alone may not produce enough of an effect, and additional lifting procedures such as neck lift or facelift surgery may be needed.
▶ When there is a lot of subcutaneous fat
When thick fat has built up just under the skin due to sudden weight gain
▶ When the deep layer of fat is thick
Common in people who have maintained a high body weight for a long time, with a lot of deep fat
▶ Sagging skin due to aging
When there is not much fat, but the skin has lost elasticity and droops downward
Cases where facial liposuction is limited
Looking at cases where satisfaction with facial liposuction is lower, if skin sagging is severe, the fat may be reduced but the skin remains, making the line look less smooth. Or, in people whose swelling and bruising last a long time, or who tend to develop a lot of firm tissue, it can take time for everything to settle. If you have a weak chin or the distance from the chin tip to the Adam’s apple is short, the amount of fat that can be removed is limited, so it is difficult to expect a dramatic change.
How to check whether you tend to swell
The way to check whether you tend to swell is simple. If you eat salty foods like ramen and wake up the next day with a very swollen face, or if your eyes swell so much in the morning that your double eyelids disappear, swelling after surgery may last longer, so it is best to make a sufficiently generous recovery plan.
Check points
If you are planning facial liposuction, it is necessary to decide on the surgical method after fully understanding your own condition and structural limitations. In addition, because the risk of bleeding during surgery varies depending on whether you are taking anticoagulants and on the condition of your blood vessels, these factors should also be checked carefully. If you have had double chin liposuction, wearing a compression band, adjusting your lifestyle habits, and managing swelling together can help speed up recovery, so it is a good idea to set up a recovery plan in advance.
Facial liposuction can be highly effective in making the jawline and facial contours look more defined and boosting confidence. However, since the effect may differ depending on the cause, body type, and jaw structure, it is best to make your decision only after sufficient consultation with a specialist before surgery.
