Facial & Neck Liposuction

FAQ: Liposuction for the Face and/or Neck in Houston, TX at Face Forward Houston

• Is facial lipo right for me?

  Candidates for facial liposuction are in good health.

• How is facial liposuction performed?

  Dr. Bender will create a small entry site through which a blunt cannula is introduced to remove the fat. Both fat removal and fibrosis (scar tissue formation) from healing will produce a slimming result.

• What is lipo recovery like?

  Bruising and swelling are common. It takes weeks to months for swelling to fully subside.

• Can liposuction be performed at the same time as other procedures?

  Yes. Most patients choose to pair liposuction with a facelift or neck lift. Chin procedures, such as augmentation or liposuction, can pair very nicely with a rhinoplasty and will have a subtle but powerful effect on facial balancing.

• Can fat cells return following treatment with liposuction?

  Fat cells will not be replaced by other fat cells once they are removed. That being said, if you gain weight, fat cells that remain will respond and expand which can give the appearance of weight gain in the treated areas.

• Is microliposuction a safe procedure?

  Microliposuction is performed using small, blunt cannulas that are designed specifically for this procedure. This, along with proper technique, will minimize the chance of damage to important structures in the area including the nearby skin.
