Facial Liposculpture

Introduction

Introduction to Facial Liposculpture

Excess fat around your face, chin, and neck can sometimes make you feel self-conscious, especially if it hides your natural bone structure or contributes to a heavier, more aged appearance. At LM Medical NYC in Manhattan, facial liposuction or liposculpture is a great way to slim down those areas, creating a more defined, youthful look.

Genetics, aging, or lifestyle factors can lead to stubborn fat in places like the cheeks, jowls, or under the chin. Even if you’re at a healthy weight, you might still struggle with a double chin or fuller cheeks. Liposuction targets and removes this excess fat, helping reshape the face and neck to bring out your natural contours.

What is Facial Liposculpture?

Facial liposculpture reshapes the face by removing excess fat from areas like the jawline and neck. This helps define facial contours, creating a more youthful and sculpted look.

What Are the Benefits of Facial Liposculpture?

It effectively removes excess fat from the jawline and neck, helping to eliminate areas like double chins or jowls and creating a more sculpted and defined appearance. Unlike essential liposuction, liposculpture focuses on refining and defining facial features, helping patients achieve a natural, enhanced version of their appearance.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Facial Liposculpture?

The best candidates for facial liposculpture are healthy individuals with localized fat deposits on the face or neck, such as under the chin or around the jowls. These individuals should have good skin elasticity to ensure the skin will tighten after fat removal, which is crucial for avoiding loose or sagging skin. Younger patients often make ideal candidates because their skin is more likely to rebound and adjust after the procedure.

However, older people with significant skin laxity may not see the same results from liposculpture alone. Combining facial liposuction with additional treatments, such as a facelift or skin tightening procedures, maybe a better approach for individuals with poor skin elasticity. In general, candidates should have realistic expectations and aim for a more sculpted, refined appearance.

What’s the first step?

The first step to getting facial liposculpture is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Lesley Rabach. During this meeting, she will examine your facial features to determine if you’re a good candidate and explain the process in detail, including the expected outcomes, risks, and recovery.

What to Expect on the Day of Facial Liposculpture Surgery

The procedure begins with Dr. Lesley Rabach making small incisions around the chin, jawline, or under the ears. She then removes the excess fat using a thin cannula. Local anesthesia combined with sedation ensures that you remain comfortable, and Dr. Rabach’s precision technique minimizes any discomfort.

Facial Liposculpture Recovery

After facial liposculpture, you can expect mild swelling and bruising around the treated areas, typically peaking between 48 and 72 hours and improving over the next week. Dr. Lesley Rabach recommends wearing a compression garment to help manage swelling and ensure the skin adapts to its new shape. Most patients return to work in 5 to 7 days or sooner, avoiding strenuous activities for up to two weeks. Full results typically emerge in 4 to 6 weeks as the contours continue to refine, revealing a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
