Face Liposuction Melbourne

Facial liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that focuses on reducing fat in certain areas of the face. Common areas include the cheeks, jawline, and under the chin. It may be considered for patients who have fat in these areas that has not changed with lifestyle measures such as diet and exercise.

Before deciding on cosmetic surgery, it is important to have realistic expectations. You will receive detailed explanations regarding what the procedure may involve, including recovery and possible outcomes.

Facial liposuction can also include areas such as the neck, jowls, and sides of the chin. Changes may be noticed after the procedure, but outcomes vary from patient to patient and are assessed over time.

This procedure focuses on fat reduction and does not treat lines or wrinkles. In some cases, it may be discussed alongside other options depending on your individual concerns and circumstances.

To learn more, you can arrange a consultation with Dr Mark Attalla, where your situation will be assessed and the options most appropriate for you can be discussed.

After facial liposuction, it is common for patients to experience swelling and some discomfort. Medicines may be recommended to help manage this. You may also be advised to wear a supportive garment over the treated areas during recovery.

The length of recovery and when results may be noticed can vary from patient to patient, depending on factors such as the extent of the procedure and individual healing.

• Bruising and swelling
• Infection at the incision sites
• Irregular contours
• Numbness
• Scarring
