Liposuction of the face and neck

Basically, almost all methods of liposuction can be used on the face and neck. The decisive factor for choosing the appropriate technique is the individual situation and the amount of fat to be removed during the treatment. However, since there are usually only small amounts of fat cells to be removed in these areas of the body, the technique chosen must allow for precise work.

An example of detailed removal of fat pads on the face or neck can be found in laser lipophysis or injection lipophysis. In laser lipophysis, fat cells are melted with laser energy and then suctioned out. Injection lipophyseal is also known as “fat-away injection”. This method involves injecting a substance into the fat deposits that dissolves the fat cells. These are then broken down via the metabolism.

Liposuction, as a medical procedure, should only be the last resort. However, since weight loss on the face and neck is much more difficult than on other parts of the body, a detailed consultation is important. Nevertheless, ensure a good and balanced diet, optimal hydration and sufficient sleep. Hereby, you are laying a good foundation for your health as well as your body’s healing abilities when you choose liposuction.

You should also refrain from drinking alcohol, nicotine and other substances before the treatment. These agents can influence the blood circulation. If you take blood thinners or other medications on a regular basis, you should discuss this with your doctor. Often, blood thinners can be discontinued for a short time, reducing the tendency to bleed during surgery.

Sufficient time should be allowed for regeneration, not only before the treatment, but also afterwards. For example, combine liposuction with a wellness vacation. At VIP-beauty.travel we specialize in the modern combination of medical treatments and recreational vacations in Turkey and offer you, in addition to comprehensive care, numerous extra services according to your wishes.

Liposuction is now considered a very safe treatment. Nevertheless, even with modern techniques, risks cannot always be ruled out. Especially the fine skin and delicate tissue of the face and neck can be quickly injured despite careful implementation of liposuction. In some patients, the result is not completely satisfactory despite successful treatment, which is why a comprehensive consultation with a realistic presentation of the prospects of success is important.

Sensory disturbances such as numbness or discomfort may occur after liposuction of the face. However, these usually disappear completely during wound healing. In addition, post-operative bleeding from wounds may occur. Then bruises (hematomas) or swellings form, which are caused by accumulations of tissue fluid (edema). Edema and hematoma usually heal quickly and completely.

The liposuction procedure may require skin tightening afterwards. In most cases, the doctor can estimate a necessary skin tightening in advance and, if necessary, recommend a combined treatment.

In rare cases, nerve tracts and tissue fibers may be injured. If there is poor wound healing or if the wound sites become inflamed, there is a risk of fatty tissue necrosis. If fat cells get into blood vessels, the development of a fat embolism is also possible. Both forms of complication must be monitored by a physician and treated if they occur.

If your decision is for liposuction of the face, neck or both, liposuction in Turkey allows you to combine medical treatment with modern wellness vacation. After the non-binding consultation on the phone and your booking at VIP-beauty.travel, we welcome you to your arrival in Istanbul. We will accompany you with a German-speaking escort to the hospital, to your medical appointments as well as to your treatment. In most cases, procedures such as facial liposuction are implemented on the same day. We also provide personal assistance when you move from the clinic to your vacation home.

Medical standards are as high in Turkey as they are for liposuction in Germany. Thus, you will be cared for and treated by medical professionals and accomplished physicians. Your safety and health is the focus of all treatment steps. Follow-up treatment takes place every three months in Germany or with a physician of your choice in your home environment.

Even a minimally invasive procedure like facial liposuction is a major strain on the body. Therefore, plan sufficient rest for the time after the procedure and take the instructions of the nurses and doctors very carefully. When leaving the operating room, any wounds that have occurred are already optimally treated and, if necessary, covered with a compression bandage. You should wear compression bandages for a few days or weeks as directed by your doctor. As needed, the doctor may prescribe pain medication or the nurses may provide cooling compresses and poultices.

The wound sites should be carefully cared for and kept free of make-up and non-medical care products for at least the first week. Depending on the type of treatment, there may be different requirements for promoting healing. In any case, however, you should refrain from strenuous sports and physical work for at least one, better two weeks and keep your head elevated when sleeping / lying down. Likewise, you should avoid strong sunlight, visits to the swimming pool and solarium or sauna.

However, light exercise such as walks are important and useful to support lymphatic flow. Promote your well-being by eating a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and abstaining from alcohol and nicotine. Swelling and hematomas can be relieved by cooling with compresses.
