What can I expect with a facial liposuction procedure?

Facial surgery in Cave Creek with liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia, general anesthesia, or intravenous sedation. Dr. Kuerschner will recommend the best option for you, based on your preferences and the extent of treatment. This procedure generally takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to perform. Dr. Kuerschner will remove unwanted fatty tissue from the face using a small cannula (thin metal tube), along with a syringe or pump to sculpt more youthful and aesthetically pleasing facial contours. The cannula is inserted through a tiny incision placed in an inconspicuous location.

You may also experience a tight feeling that may remain for a few weeks after treatment.
You will need to wear a snug elastic dressing over the treatment area for a few days after the procedure, and you may be asked to wear it at night for a few weeks.

FAQ

Why have facial liposuction in Cave Creek?

You can trim and tone many areas of the body with diet and exercise, but the face and neck tend to resist. No matter how well you eat or how much you work out, excess fatty deposits in the cheeks, chin, jawline, and neck may not respond. Facial liposuction in Cave Creek is an excellent solution for many people.

How long-lasting are results with facial liposuction?

Once the fat cells are removed, they are gone for good and no longer able to store fat. If you gain weight, it can only expand the remaining fat cells. Results with facial liposuction are typically long-lasting, as localized fatty deposits in the face are no longer there.

How many treatment sessions are required for facial liposuction?

Carefree facial surgery with liposuction can usually be done in one treatment session only. However, some patients may need fine-tuning in the future.

How is facial liposuction different that body liposuction?

Liposuction on the face and neck is similar to liposuction on the body, except that less fat is removed. Only a few ounces of fat is removed in the typical facial liposuction procedure, as compared to possible pounds in a body liposuction procedure.
