FACIAL LIPOSUCTION
Serving Toronto, Scarborough, Oakville, Mississauga
Liposuction of the lower face is a very efficient
way to reduce jowl fullness as well as a chubby double chin. Many patients
think that a face lift is the only way to recontour the cheeks and chin.
A face lift involves fairly extensive surgery and works best for those
patients with loose, saggy skin. Younger Toronto cosmetic surgery patients who have firmer, more resilient skin can achieve excellent results with liposuction, which is a much more conservative approach.
I usually perform facial liposuction under local anesthetic. It requires
a tiny incision under the chin which is closed with one dissolving stitch!
My patients wear an elastic wrap for a week or so to prevent swelling
and help the remodelling process in the lower face. Bruising and swelling
are minimal. Most patients are back to work after a week with no obvious
signs of having had recent surgery.
I find that for the right patient, facial liposuction can provide dramatic
results with a fraction of the risk and inconvenience of face lift surgery.
