Facial liposuction is a common medical aesthetic face slimming method. Although the recovery is fast and the invasion is small, there are also some side effects, so be sure to understand them clearly and consider them carefully before trying the procedure. Here's what side effects and after-effects are associated with facial liposuction.
Hematoma, seroma
It is related to too deep suction level, too rough action and improper bandaging and pressure after facial liposuction. Hematoma can be extracted from the original incision with a needle and then re-pressurized and bandaged. Cold compresses can also be applied after facial liposuction to prevent hematoma and seroma from occurring.
Skin unevenness
Improper suction plane or uneven fat suction, too much or too little liposuction at localized points will result in uneven skin, which can be improved by pressure bandaging in mild cases, but requires secondary repair after surgery in severe cases. This is related to the doctor's experience and technique.
Skin ischemia and necrosis
During facial liposuction surgery, too much fat is extracted from the local liposuction point or the action is too violent, which will cause the destruction of the subcutaneous vascular network, resulting in poor skin blood circulation and skin ischemia and necrosis, which may be disfiguring in serious cases.
Peripheral nerve damage
The suction level is too deep and the action is too violent, which can damage the zygomatic branch of facial nerve, buccal branch and mandibular margin branch, causing facial paralysis or serious local swelling and bleeding. If the damage is mild, the local numbness will be temporary and will gradually recover in 3-4 weeks, but if the damage is severe, it may lead to permanent damage.
Inflammation and infection
The incision of facial liposuction surgery itself is very small and shallow, and the healing time after the surgery is very short. If the surgical instruments are not clean and the trauma is not cleaned after the surgery, it is extremely easy to have postoperative infection and fluid accumulation, which makes the recovery time after the surgery grow.
Skin-muscle adhesions
If the local fat aspiration is too thin, it will cause adhesions between the skin and the expression muscle, and when the expression muscle moves, local pits will appear. The treatment method is to loosen the adhesions and inject fat particles into them.
Rebound
Fattening is an increase in the number of fat cells and an increase in the size of fat cells. The number of fat cells in adults is constant, and facial liposuction is directly sucking away the number of fat cells to slim the face. However, facial liposuction does not change the basic metabolic calories of the face, which means that if the calories taken in the future are excess calories consumed in the long term, the volume of facial fat cells will still expand and become larger, which means that there is still a possibility of rebound.
