THE PROCEDURE

Overview, Costs & Considerations

Lower face liposuction is a surgical procedure performed under light sedation with local anaesthesia to reduce excess fat in the lower face and neck. Small incisions are made under the neck and behind the ears, allowing for the insertion of the Vaser probe. This probe emits ultrasound energy to heat the area to 38-40 degrees, which helps contract collagen fibres and liquefy fat cells for removal.

The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, but this will vary from patient to patient. Most patients experience mild swelling for up to a week, with bruising being uncommon. Pain can usually be managed with prescribed medication. Many patients return to work after one week.

Considerations for Lower Face Liposuction

Before deciding on lower-face liposuction, here are some factors to keep in mind:

You should be in good overall health, with no underlying medical conditions that may complicate surgery or recovery.
Candidates with reasonable skin elasticity are more likely to achieve the desired results, as the skin needs to retract after fat removal.
This procedure can address concerns for various age groups, including excess fat under the chin or early signs of lower face changes.

Realistic Expectations

Results vary between individuals based on factors like skin type, age, and overall health.
The goal is to address specific concerns, but this procedure does not stop the natural ageing process.
While some improvement may be noticeable within weeks, final results typically take up to six months as swelling subsides and healing completes.

Consultation Process

You will need an initial consultation to assess your eligibility, discuss your goals, and review the potential risks and benefits of the procedure.

A referral from a General Practitioner (GP) is required, as well as adherence to the cooling-off period and consultation requirements.

How much does lower-face liposuction cost?

The cost of lower-face liposuction depends on factors like the areas being treated and individual needs. Prices typically include the procedure, compression garments, and follow-up care. A personalised quote will be provided during your consultation. At Cosmos Clinic, prices start from $5,500.

Surgery Risks

Potential Risks of Vaser Liposuction

As with any surgical procedure, lower-face liposuction involves some risks and potential complications, including but not limited to:

Swelling and Bruising: Common and typically temporary, these side effects should subside within a few weeks.
Discomfort or Pain: Mild to moderate discomfort may occur, which can generally be managed with prescribed pain relief.
Scarring: Small scars may result from the incisions, but these are usually well-hidden and fade over time.
Asymmetry: Uneven results may occur, requiring follow-up care or additional procedures.
Skin Irregularities: Temporary lumps or bumps may form as the treated area heals.
Changes in Skin Sensation: Temporary numbness or tingling in the treated area can occur as the nerves adjust.
Infection: Rare but possible, particularly if post-operative care instructions are not followed.
Unsatisfactory Results: Results may not meet expectations, particularly if skin elasticity is poor or realistic goals were not set.

All risks and potential side effects will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation. Following your doctor’s aftercare instructions and attending scheduled follow-up appointments can help minimise risks.

Are lower face liposuction results permanent?

Once your fat cells have been removed, they will never return. Despite that, your remaining fat cells can still expand, so we recommend maintaining your post-liposuction weight after surgery to ensure your results remain stable. Keep in mind that liposuction does not stop the ageing process.

Is facial liposuction the same as liposuction to the body?

Yes, facial liposuction follows the same principles as liposuction on other areas of the body. The only real difference is the amount of fat removed. During a facial liposuction procedure, your doctor will only remove a few ounces of fat, whereas body liposuction may remove several litres.

What should I do to prepare for my face liposuction procedure?

During your consultation, your Cosmos Clinic doctor will give you specific pre-operative instructions. You will be asked to quit smoking and avoid certain medications and supplements, to avoid surgical complications. We also recommend taking steps before surgery to prepare for your recovery. This may include purchasing some comfortable clothing, filling prescriptions, preparing some healthy meals and arranging for someone to pick you up from the hospital after the procedure.

Is the procedure painful?

During the procedure, you will be placed under twilight sedation and local anaesthesia, so you should feel little pain or discomfort. Any post-operative discomfort can be relieved with medications prescribed by your doctor.
