What is cheek fat and jawline liposuction?!

The fat in the cheeks is divided into two types.

One is the subcutaneous fat layer under the skin,

and the other is the fat pad beneath the cheek muscles.

Among these, the subcutaneous fat that can be removed by liposuction

is suctioned out using a thin ultrasonic cannula,

which can refine the cheek contour into a more sophisticated, oval shape.

A face that is square because of bone structure,

rather than a face that is obese in shape, is corrected with liposuction.

Who is a candidate for cheek fat and jawline liposuction?

★ When the cheeks below the cheekbones are full

★ When there is a lot of fat along the jawline and it sags, making it look like jowls

★ A square jawline caused by subcutaneous fat

★ When the face appears uneven because of excess fat

★ When there is too much fat at the chin tip

★ When there is too much submental neck fat and the jawline is not defined

★ When the jawline folds into a double line

Overview of cheek fat and jawline liposuction

Cheek fat liposuction is performed under local anesthesia, not general anesthesia.

When performed under local anesthesia, painless sedation anesthesia is used so that there is no pain during anesthesia.

The amount of fat removed varies from person to person; in general, about 20 cc to as much as 50 cc is suctioned from one side.

The procedure takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Because the degree of facial obesity differs from person to person, the amount of liposuction also varies.

Liposuction of the face, including the cheeks and neck, is an area that requires delicate and precise suction.

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

How is the procedure performed using an ultrasonic liposuction device?

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

Compared with conventional mechanical liposuction devices, it allows gentler suction and has the advantage of causing less damage to blood vessels or nerves.

Ultrasound is generated at the tip of the liposuction cannula, melting the fat into liquid so that it can be suctioned out and removed, making the procedure safe and effective.

In the first step, the fat is melted with an ultrasonic liposuction device, and in the second step, it is delicately suctioned with a micro-cannula fitted with a syringe.

What are the effects of cheek fat and jawline liposuction?

The procedure is performed on areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck below the jawline, and typically about 20 cc to as much as 100 cc of fat can be removed depending on the area.

After the procedure, the areas where fat has been removed will show a reduction in volume equal to the amount of fat suctioned.

Because removed fat cells do not regenerate, the effect of liposuction is permanent, and unless body weight increases excessively, the treated area will not become obese again.

What should be kept in mind after cheek fat and jawline liposuction?

Cheek fat liposuction should be performed only after carefully determining the indication.

It is effective when there is a large amount of subcutaneous fat in the cheeks or jawline, but it is not effective when the jawbone is developed and widened outward, or when the muscles attached to the jawbone are developed.

Only when there is subcutaneous fat, confirmed through an accurate examination, can the desired result be achieved.

In addition, if the chewing muscles are developed, Botox treatment may be necessary for effective results.

How safe is cheek fat and jawline liposuction?

Facial liposuction is one of the more delicate forms of liposuction, so it is technically difficult and demanding.

If performed according to principles with skilled technique, safe and effective suction is possible.

Because only the subcutaneous fat is suctioned, there is no damage to the facial motor nerves.

Since suction is performed with a micro-cannula, the procedure can be done without damaging blood vessels or sensory nerves.

What is the process for cheek fat and jawline liposuction?

① A design is drawn on the skin to mark the liposuction areas.

② Painless sedation anesthesia is used to eliminate pain during local anesthesia.

③ Local anesthesia is administered to the liposuction area.

④ The fat is melted using an ultrasonic liposuction device.

⑤ The melted fat is suctioned out using a syringe.

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

The area from which fat will be suctioned is marked by drawing a design on the skin.

The shape of the design varies depending on the person, and the areas are divided into the face, jawline, neck, and cheekbone area.

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

For anesthesia, sedation is administered through an intravenous line in the arm.

Since there is pain during local anesthesia, local anesthesia is performed while the patient is already under sedation so that it can be done without pain.

After the local anesthesia is complete, the patient wakes up.

The time it takes to fall asleep with sedation is usually about 10 minutes.

Sedation is different from general anesthesia. It is a safe anesthesia method and is used as an adjunct to local anesthesia.

A cannula is inserted from the edge of the area to be suctioned, and the fat is carefully and gently removed.

If the amount to be suctioned is large, the fat may first be melted with ultrasound and then suctioned with a micro-cannula. If the amount is not large and a more delicate suction is needed, suction may be done only with a micro-cannula fitted with a syringe.

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

The suction time for the cheeks is about 30 minutes to 1 hour, and after suction is complete, a facial band is applied.

The facial band helps increase the effect of liposuction while reducing swelling and bruising, and preventing skin sagging.

It is worn for about one week, and after that it is worn only during sleep for about one month.

Post-liposuction care tips

■ Hospitalization is not needed after the procedure; you can go home right away.

■ There may be slight pain and a pulling sensation at the treatment site, but it does not significantly affect daily life.

■ Visit the clinic two days after the procedure to check the progress and disinfect the liposuction area.

■ Face washing and showering are possible from the second day, and at other times the facial band should be worn.

■ Wear the facial band until day 7 after the procedure. After day 7, wear the facial band only during sleep, usually for about one month.

■ Although it varies by person, the time when the face visibly looks slimmer due to reduced volume is between one week and one month, and the effect continues to appear as the facial volume decreases up to three months.

What are the side effects of cheek fat and jawline liposuction?

Facial liposuction such as cheek fat liposuction is an area that requires very delicate suction, so unlike abdominal liposuction, it is technically difficult.

As a rule, the procedure should not be performed by someone with little experience or by a non-specialist in plastic surgery.

Side effects may occasionally occur due to the operator’s inexperience, such as using a cannula that is too thick, resulting in an uneven contour and irregularities; excessive suction causing depressions in the face; little or no effect because the suction was not performed properly; reduced facial sensation; or scarring caused by using a thick suction cannula. However, if the procedure is performed accurately and according to principle, these side effects rarely occur.

Other procedure methods

● AcuSculpt laser procedure

It is similar to the SmartLipo laser procedure, and is a device that came out later after demand for the SmartLipo laser procedure disappeared due to its insufficient results.

However, like the SmartLipo laser procedure, in most cases the effect is below expectations or there is almost no effect.

In addition, severe swelling may occur, and heat damage to the skin can also happen.

New procedures often lure consumers with indiscriminate false and exaggerated advertising without their effectiveness or side effects having been verified, so caution is necessary.

Also, necrotic tissue or inflamed tissue cannot produce good results unless it is removed by inserting a direct suction cannula.

● SmartLipo laser procedure

This is a method of melting and removing subcutaneous fat using a laser.

The effect of the procedure is mild, so there is almost no noticeable reduction in volume.

Because fat must always be removed from the desired location and in the desired amount, there is no method as precise as directly removing fat by inserting a cannula.

The degree to which externally applied laser passes through the skin and melts the subcutaneous fat underneath is very slight or nearly ineffective, so the desired result cannot be achieved with this method.

● Lipolysis (PPC injection)

This is a method of dissolving fat using injections, but depending on the medication, in most cases the effect is almost nonexistent, or if a strong drug is administered, it can cause the skin to become lumpy.

Once the medication is introduced into the body, it spreads to the surrounding areas.

There is no way to know where and how deeply the drug will spread, and caution is needed because side effects often occur, such as unwanted hollowing in certain areas or uneven depressions like pits in places.

Whatever the procedure, the desired result can be obtained only when the proper amount of fat is removed from the desired place under accurate design.

It is almost impossible to expect contouring through fat-dissolving injections.

Do not be misled by false and exaggerated advertising whose effectiveness has not been proven.

● Removal of the fat pad through an incision inside the mouth

This is a method of removing the fat pad located below the cheekbone in one piece through an incision inside the mouth.

Unlike subcutaneous fat, the fat pad is buried deep beneath the cheekbone, so it can only be removed through an intraoral incision.

However, the effect is only a slight reduction in volume locally below the cheekbone; it does not reduce the overall volume in an obese-type face, so the effect is very localized and limited.

General cheek fat and jawline obesity 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.

Misunderstandings about liposuction

The simplest and best way to remove fat from the body is to insert a cannula and remove it directly by suction.

Liposuction is not complete until an incision is made in the skin, a cannula is inserted, and the fat cells are suctioned out.

Whether it is a mechanical, laser, or ultrasonic method, the fat must be discharged to the outside through the cannula, so whichever method is used, the fat cells must be broken down and removed in the required amount to achieve the desired volume reduction effect.

In the case of facial liposuction, what determines the outcome is the surgeon’s experience and know-how, and the use of a thin cannula of an appropriate thickness, how smoothly and effectively the suction is performed, and whether the necessary amount is removed all determine the outcome of the procedure.

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 combining an ultrasonic method and a mechanical micro-cannula, 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 facial sagging.

Since this is not a surgery that cuts the skin or melts fat with a laser, you can receive the procedure with peace of mind.

After liposuction, you should wear the facial band for about one week, and after that, you should wear it only while sleeping for about one month.

Swelling and bruising are minimal.

The suction site is closed with a few fine stitches, and if absorbable sutures are used, they dissolve on their own; if non-absorbable sutures are used, they are removed after 2 to 3 days.

The cheek suction procedure takes about 1 hour.

Whether jawline suction is performed is decided after consultation.

If fat is suctioned incorrectly, it can lead to inflammation at the surgical site, asymmetry, unevenness, scar tissue, scarring, reduced sensation, or sagging skin.

As with any surgery, there may be risks of side effects or a margin of error, but this depends on how precisely the surgeon performs the operation.
