There is nothing worse than looking in the mirror and feeling dissatisfied with the appearance of your face and losing your self-confidence. That’s why Dr. Yasser Badi, the best plastic surgeon in Alexandria and the expert in facial liposuction and facial cosmetic procedures is highly interested in helping his patients to regain their self-confidence and better live their lives by obtaining the ideal facial symmetry.
Among the most popular facial cosmetic procedures is facial liposuction, this procedure aims to remove facial excess fat and reshape it to obtain a youthful and symmetric face.
What is facial liposuction?
Perhaps the term liposuction of the face is strange to many people’s ears, as the term liposuction is usually associated in their minds with the body, but after losing weight, some stubborn fat remains accumulated in the facial area that is difficult to lose and rid of in the cheek, chin, and neck area as well.
It is worth noting that the goal of liposuction is not to lose weight as some might think, but it is a way to shape the face and give it a better appearance by getting rid of excess fat cells.
Methods of facial liposuction
Many people are afraid when thinking about any facial cosmetic procedure, since unlike the rest of the body, the face is a sensitive area that you cannot hide from people’s eyes and it is the first thing people notice about you.
Therefore, this decision is considered to be a hard decision for many, and precisely choosing the best facial plastic surgeon is crucial for ensuring satisfactory results after the surgery.
Facial liposuction methods are divided into 3 types.
Surgical Facial liposuction
The cosmetic field has recently seen many developments. Now surgical liposuction of the face is performed by the best facial plastic surgeon with very small incisions so as not to leave clear scars, instead of before, the surgical procedure used to leave large scars, which used to cause great inconvenience to patients.
This liposuction technique is suitable for some cases, especially the elderly, who may require tightening the excess skin to get rid of it because with age the skin loses its elasticity to adapt to skin changes due to a lack of collagen, which causes severe sagging after the suction procedure.
Vaser liposuction of the face
Vaser liposuction is a precise cosmetic technique and a less invasive procedure than surgical liposuction. It is also called 4D body sculpting because it helps reshape the face by removing invisible fat under the skin. It also helps stimulate collagen, which rejuvenates and gives the skin a youthful, healthy, and toned appearance.
The best plastic surgeon also added that this technique is characterized by immediately noticeable results, the procedure only takes about an hour, and it does not leave any visible scars.
Liposuction of the face with laser technology
Laser technology is perhaps the most famous technology ever in the field of plastic surgery. The best plastic surgeon identifies the areas where fat accumulates that need to be suctioned and determines the incision places to enter the medical suction tubes that direct laser beams firstly to liquefy the fat to be easily suctioned after that.
Laser liposuction is performed under local anesthesia and it resembles the VASER liposuction technique in stimulating collagen in the skin, which helps tighten it and prevent sagging quickly.
What are the risks of facial liposuction?
After discussing the best plastic surgeon and making the final decision regarding liposuction, the surgeon will explain to you the complications that may occur especially with surgical intervention. Disclosing all risks that might associated with the procedure is the most important part of the transparency and medical honesty between the doctor and the patient, and these complications include:
- Blood or fluid accumulation.
- Bleeding.
- Allergy to anesthesia.
- Loss of sensation or numbness.
- Facial nerve injury.
- Bleeding or pain.
- Noticeable bloating.
- Asymmetric two sides of the face.
- Infection.
As for other nonsurgical suction methods, they often do not cause these effects, and the symptoms are limited only to the appearance of swelling at the site of the operation with some mild pain.
The cost of facial liposuction
When deciding to have a cosmetic procedure, especially on the face, why would you choose one surgeon over another?
Of course, the basic criterion will be the most skilled and famous, since operating by an expert like Dr. Yasser Badi, the best plastic surgeon, makes you reassured that you will get results that are not only satisfactory but excellent, due to his long experience with more than 3,500 successful cases.
After conducting an evaluation by the best plastic surgeon and determining the appropriate method for liposuction, whether by laser, vaser, or surgery, this is the main step in determining the cost, as the use of each technique differs from the other in terms of cost, in addition to some other factors, such as:
- Hospital costs.
- The cost of anesthesia according to its type.
- Costs of necessary medications during the hospitalization period.
- Costs of the medical team and healthcare provided.
Recommended instructions from the best plastic surgeon
To enjoy lasting results and go through the recovery period safely, always make sure to carefully follow your surgeon’s advice.
Immediately after the operation
You can eat and drink with caution, and most likely you can leave the hospital on the same day, but it is preferable not to drive a car due to the effect of anesthesia.
It is recommended during this period not to take any blood thinning medications without consulting your doctor.
Of course, during this period and for no less than a month after the operation, the best plastic surgeon will advise you to completely abstain from all types of smoking so that the wounds heal quickly without any complications. To ensure rapid recovery, you should take your medications as prescribed by your surgeon.
Do not worry at all about the presence of some bruises and swelling within two or three weeks after the operation, and in most cases you will need to put a compression bandage around the head.
Most likely, you will be able to fully return to all your normal daily activities and normal routine within one month to 3 months.
Contact your doctor immediately if any of these symptoms appear:
- The presence of fever or change in body temperature.
- Severe bleeding that does not stop despite applying bandages.
- An opening in the wound.
- Severe pain appears despite taking painkillers.
- The presence of pus or redness around the wound.
Does this cosmetic procedure fit me?
Of course, the decision will be determined by the best plastic surgeon whether you are a candidate for this operation or not.
Facial liposuction suits those who suffer from the appearance of round cheeks or the so-called Baby Face. However, if the excess fat in the face is due to a disease such as a thyroid disorder or other diseases, then this operation is not suitable.
Therefore, Dr. Yasser Badi is always keen to fully evaluate the case and know your entire medical history or any genetic diseases first before making any decision, that leads to optimal results that meet your expectations and achieve the goals you dreamed of.
