Tampa Facial Liposuction

Restoring a More Attractive Facial Contour with Tampa Lipo

Our face says a lot about us. It is the primary focus of the other people we interact with throughout the day. Our faces convey our emotions and can leave people with a lasting impression about who we are, how we think and what we feel. If you're unsatisfied with the way your face looks, this can naturally put a damper on your self-esteem and confidence. Being comfortable and confident in your own skin is an essential component of leading a life of success and satisfaction.

Unfortunately, facial fat can often be stubborn and unresponsive to diet and exercise. There are many people who are healthy and active who have slim bodies yet due to genetics carry more fat in their faces, which can give the false impression of being overweight. Spot reduction is a myth it is impossible to burn fat from one specific area of the body, instead we gradually lose fat from all over as we diet and exercise. Therefore, excess facial fat can be quite frustrating for those with thin bodies. For these individuals, Facial liposuction can restore a more symmetrical balance by removing the excess, localized fat deposits stored in areas of the face such as the cheeks, chin and jowls. Unlike diet and exercise, facial liposuction is able to target specific areas.

Facial liposuction is also an aesthetically gratifying procedure for mature patients wishing to restore a more youthful facial contour. As we age, fat deposits often begin to collect on the sides of the jaws and as facial skin becomes more lax, these regions can begin to sag and droop, creating unattractive jowls that can make us appear much older than we really are. Using Tumescent liposuction and small incisions, Dr. Su can resculpt this region and re-establish a sharper jaw line to take years off the patient's face.

Not all fat is bad though, fat is what gives the face a plump, voluminous look which we associate with youth. As we grow older, it is the loss of fat and diminishing of facial tissues that cause the face to take on a gaunt, hollowed out look. With years of experience performing this delicate procedure, Dr. Su is well-practiced in the art of achieving the right balance to give his facial liposuction patients smooth, well-defined contours while maintaining youthful volume.

Facial lipo will generally render the best results in younger patients whose skin still retains some elasticity. In patients with mild skin laxity, Smart Laser Liposuction may actually help tighten the skin a bit due to new collagen formation that occurs as the skin repairs itself. Patients with large folds of excess skin around the neck with very little subcutaneous fat are often not good candidates for this procedure.

The commonly used phrase "facial liposuction" isn't quite accurate as very rarely will a surgeon remove fat directly from the face. This procedure typically focuses on contouring and removing fat from under the chin, the jawline, neck and sometimes small portions of the cheeks. However, modifying these areas can dramatically change the overall appearance of the face and aesthetically is one of the most gratifying procedures.
