Cheeks, under-eyes, and jawline liposuction

What is cheek fat liposuction?

The fat in the cheeks is divided into two types.

One is the subcutaneous fat layer beneath the skin, and the other is the fat pad beneath the cheek muscles.

Among these, the subcutaneous fat that can be suctioned is removed using a thin ultrasound cannula,

which can make the cheek contour more refined and more oval-shaped.

A face that looks obese rather than square due to bone development is corrected with liposuction.

Candidates for cheek fat liposuction

◇ If the cheeks below the cheekbones are full

◇ If sagging along the jawline makes the jaw look jowly

◇ A square-looking face caused by subcutaneous fat

◇ If the face has irregular contours due to excess fat

◇ If there is too much fat at the chin tip

◇ If there is too much neck fat under the chin, leaving no clear jawline

◇ If the jawline folds into a double line

Overview of cheek fat liposuction

Cheek fat liposuction is performed under local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia.

When performed under local anesthesia,

pain-free sedation anesthesia is used so that there is no pain during the procedure.

The amount of liposuction varies from person to person,

with about 20 cc on the low end and up to about 50 cc on one side.

The procedure takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Because the degree of facial fullness differs by person, the amount of liposuction also varies.

Facial liposuction of the cheeks, neck, and similar areas requires delicate and precise suction.

Therefore, the operator’s skill and extensive experience are required.

Procedure using an ultrasound liposuction device

An ultrasound liposuction device refers to a liposuction machine equipped with an ultrasound generator.

Compared with conventional mechanical liposuction devices, it allows gentler suction,

and has the advantage of causing less damage to blood vessels and nerves.

Ultrasound is generated at the tip of the liposuction cannula,

so the fat is melted into liquid and then suctioned out,

allowing safe and effective liposuction.

In the first step, the fat is melted with an ultrasound liposuction device,

and in the second step, fine suction is performed with a syringe-attached micro cannula.

Effect of facial (cheek) liposuction

The procedure is performed on the cheeks, jawline, and the neck area below the jawline,

and depending on the area, about 20 cc to as much as 100 cc of fat can usually be suctioned.

After the procedure, the areas where fat was removed will show a reduced volume corresponding to the amount of fat suctioned.

Because once removed, fat cells do not regenerate, the effect of liposuction is permanent,

and unless body weight increases excessively, the liposuction area will not become obese again.

Simple cheek liposuction procedure process

  1. The skin is designed to mark the liposuction area.

  2. Pain-free sedation anesthesia is performed to eliminate pain during local anesthesia.

  3. Local anesthesia is administered to the liposuction area.

  4. The fat is melted using an ultrasound liposuction device.

  5. The melted fat is suctioned out using a syringe.

  6. After liposuction, the face band is used to effectively compress the liposuction area.

[Duhan Plastic Surgery Liposuction] - [Facial Liposuction] image 6

The area to be suctioned is marked on the skin through design.

The design shape varies by individual,

and the areas are divided into the face, jawline, neck, and cheekbone areas.

A plan is made for which area will receive how much liposuction.

Anesthesia is performed with intravenous sedation through a vein in the arm.

Because local anesthesia can be painful,

if local anesthesia is done after putting the patient into sedation,

local anesthesia can be administered without pain.

Once local anesthesia is finished, the patient wakes up.

It usually takes about 5 minutes to fall asleep with sedation anesthesia.

Sedation anesthesia is different from general anesthesia,

is a safe anesthesia method,

and is used as an adjunct to local anesthesia.

The cannula is inserted at the edge of the area to be suctioned,

and suction is performed delicately and gently.

If a large amount is to be suctioned, the fat is first melted with ultrasound

and then suctioned with a micro cannula.

If the amount is not large and more delicate suction is needed,

suction may be performed only with a syringe-attached micro cannula.

The key point of suction is to remove it evenly throughout the designed area without irregularities.

[Duhan Plastic Surgery Liposuction] - [Facial Liposuction] image 9

The suction time for cheek fat is about 30 minutes to 1 hour,

and after suction is complete, a face band is applied.

The face band helps improve the effect of liposuction,

reduces swelling and bruising,

and prevents skin sagging.

It is worn for about one week,

and after that, it is used only during sleep for about one month.

Precautions for ultrasound liposuction for cheeks, under-eyes, and jawline

Cheek fat liposuction should be performed after carefully determining the indications.
Cheek fat or the jawline can be effectively treated when there is a lot of subcutaneous fat, but it is not effective when the jawbone is developed and flares outward, or when the muscles attached to the jawbone are developed.
Only when subcutaneous fat is confirmed through an accurate examination should the procedure be performed to achieve the desired result.
In addition, if the chewing muscles are developed, Botox treatment may be necessary for effective results.

Safety of ultrasound liposuction for cheeks, under-eyes, and jawline

Facial liposuction is a technically difficult and delicate area among liposuction procedures because it requires a high level of precision.
However, if performed according to the principles with skilled technique, safe and effective suction is possible.
Because only subcutaneous fat is being suctioned, there is no damage to the facial motor nerves.
Since suction is done with a micro cannula, the procedure can be performed without damaging blood vessels or sensory nerves.

Post-care instructions after ultrasound liposuction for cheeks, under-eyes, and jawline

  1. Go home immediately after the procedure.

  2. There may be some mild pain and a pulling sensation at the treatment site, but it should not significantly affect daily life.

  3. Visit the clinic two days after the procedure to check the result and disinfect the liposuction area.

  4. Starting from day 4 after the procedure, use warm compresses with a pack to help the swelling in the liposuction area subside more quickly.

Wear the face band until day 7 after the procedure.

  1. After day 7, wear the face band only while sleeping, and usually continue only for about one month.

Remove the sutures from the liposuction area on day 7 after the procedure.

Side effects after ultrasound liposuction for cheeks, under-eyes, and jawline

Facial liposuction in areas such as the cheeks requires very delicate suction,

so unlike abdominal liposuction, it is a technically difficult area.

As a rule, it is best not to undergo the procedure from a provider with somewhat limited experience or a non-board-certified plastic surgeon.

Because of the operator’s inexperience, side effects may sometimes occur,

including contour irregularities caused by using a cannula that is too thick,

depressions in the face due to excessive suction,

cases where the suction is insufficient and the effect is minimal,

reduced facial sensation,

and scars caused by using a thick suction cannula.

However, if the procedure is performed accurately and according to principles, these side effects occur very rarely.

Other procedure methods

AcuSculpt laser procedureSimilar to SmartLipo laser treatment, this device was introduced after demand for SmartLipo declined due to its inadequate results. However, like SmartLipo laser treatment, the results are often below expectations or have almost no effect. It can also cause severe swelling and sometimes heat damage to the skin. New procedures are often promoted through reckless false and exaggerated advertising that has not even verified their effectiveness or side effects, so caution is necessary. In addition, necrotic tissue or inflamed tissue cannot produce good results unless it is directly removed by inserting a suction cannula.
SmartLipo laser procedureA method that uses a laser to melt and remove subcutaneous fat. The treatment effect is weak, so it is a method in which volume reduction is hardly noticeable. Fat must be removed in the desired amount and from the desired location, so there is no procedure more precise than directly removing fat by inserting a cannula. The degree to which externally applied laser passes through the skin and melts the subcutaneous fat beneath is very weak or almost ineffective, so desired results cannot be obtained with this method.
Lipolysis procedure (PPC injection)A method of dissolving fat using injections, but depending on the drug, in most cases the effect is minimal, and when aggressive drugs are used, side effects such as uneven skin can occur. Once a drug is introduced into the body, it spreads to surrounding areas. It is impossible to know where and how deeply the drug will spread, so caution is needed because unwanted areas may collapse or become pitted in spots like small hollows. Whatever the procedure, the desired result can only be achieved when the appropriate amount of fat is removed from the intended place with an accurate design. Trying to contour the face with fat-dissolving injections is a method from which little can really be expected. Do not be misled by false and exaggerated advertisements whose effectiveness has not been proven.
Removal of fat pads through an intraoral incisionA method of removing the fat pad under the cheekbone in a lump through an incision inside the mouth. Unlike subcutaneous fat, the fat pad is buried deep beneath the cheekbone and can only be removed through an intraoral incision. However, the effect is only a slight, localized reduction in volume beneath the cheekbone, and there is no overall volume reduction in an obese-type face, so the effect is very localized and limited. Ordinary cheek and jawline fullness is caused by subcutaneous fat, so liposuction is effective. Removing the fat pad through an incision is not an appropriate surgical method for an obese-type face with a lot of subcutaneous fat.

A correct understanding of cheek, under-eye, and jawline liposuction

The simplest and best way to remove fat from the body is

to insert a cannula and remove it directly by suction.

Liposuction must always be completed by making an incision in the skin,

inserting the cannula, and suctioning out the fat cells.

Whether the method is mechanical, laser, or ultrasound,

the fat must be expelled to the outside through the suction cannula, so whichever method is used,

the fat cells must be destroyed and come out by the necessary amount to achieve the desired volume reduction.

In facial liposuction, the result depends on the surgeon’s experience and know-how,

using a thin cannula of appropriate thickness,

how gently and effectively the suction is performed,

and whether the right amount is suctioned.

If there is a lot of subcutaneous fat in the cheeks, liposuction is the right choice.

The degree of subcutaneous fat can be judged by pinching the cheek fat with your fingers

and checking the thickness that can be grasped.

For cheek fat liposuction, we perform micro liposuction

using a thin cannula and micro needles.

By using both the ultrasound method and a mechanical micro cannula

in combination,

gentle and precise suction is possible.

Because only the fat in the subcutaneous layer is suctioned, it is not dangerous at all,

and there is no sagging of the face at all.

Since this is not a surgery that cuts the skin or melts fat with a laser,

you can undergo the procedure with peace of mind.

After liposuction, you should wear the face band for about one week,

and after that, only while sleeping for about one month.

Swelling and bruising do not occur much.

The suction area is closed with a fine thread, about one stitch,

and if dissolvable sutures are used or if non-dissolvable sutures are used,

they are removed after 2 to 3 days.

The cheek suction procedure takes about one hour.

Whether the jawline will also be suctioned is decided after consultation.

If fat is suctioned incorrectly, inflammation at the surgical site, asymmetry,

unevenness, scar tissue, scarring,

reduced sensation, and sagging skin may occur.

Any surgery carries the risk of side effects

and a margin of error,

but this depends on how accurately the surgeon performs the operation.
