Cheek liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to contour and slim down the cheeks. It involves the removal of excess fat from the cheeks using a small cannula. Cheek liposuction can create a more defined jawline and improve the overall appearance of the face.
Cheek liposuction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. The procedure begins with the injection of a tumescent solution into the treatment area. The solution contains a mixture of lidocaine, epinephrine, and saline. The lidocaine numbs the area, while the epinephrine constricts the blood vessels to reduce bleeding. The saline helps to break up the fat cells and makes them easier to remove.
Once the tumescent solution has been injected, a small cannula is inserted into the treatment area through a small incision. The cannula is moved back and forth in a controlled motion to break up the fat cells, which are then suctioned out of the body through the cannula.
Depending on the size of the area to be treated, the process usually takes between thirty minutes and an hour. Incisions are stitched shut during the treatment, and a compression garment is worn thereafter to minimize swelling and speed recovery.
After cheek liposuction, patients can expect some swelling and bruising in the treatment area. Pain and discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication, and most patients are able to return to work and normal activities within a few days.
It is important to avoid strenuous activity for at least a week after the procedure to allow the body to heal. The compression garment should be worn for several weeks to help reduce swelling and promote healing.
The results of cheek liposuction are typically visible immediately after the procedure. However, the full results may not be visible for several weeks as the swelling subsides and the skin tightens.
The results of cheek liposuction can be long-lasting, provided that the patient maintains a healthy diet and exercise routine. However, significant weight gain can cause the fat cells in the treatment area to return.
The cost of cheek liposuction can vary depending on the geographic location, the experience of the surgeon, and the extent of the procedure. On average, cheek liposuction can cost between $2,000 and $5,000.
It’s worth noting that liposuction of the cheeks is considered a purely cosmetic treatment, so insurance won’t likely cover it. In order to make the surgery more accessible, several cosmetic surgeons now offer payment plans.
