Liposuction Of The Face And Neck

History Of The Procedure

The lipoplasty has evolved over many years where initially there was a direct excision of unsightly fat pads combined with the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) facelift. To remove the fat, it was done through the submental and postauricular rhytidectomy incisions or sometimes the excess ptotic fat and skin were removed by direct excision from jowls and wattles, but this technique was diminished as it was technically challenging to remove the subcutaneous fat deposited in evenly manner, and after results produced uneven skin contour.

This direct excision also left behind long visible scars which were pre-disposed to central depression and post-operative uneven skin contour formation which gave a unsatisfactory results. Sometimes it also had neck fat accumulations in many cases producing marks discrepancy in the after results appearance of the upper face compared with the lower face and neck.

The introduction of refined techniques for liposuction in addition to platysma plication and surgical tightening of excess neck skin was done in the past 20- 25 years which has given the facial plastic surgeon the absolute ability to provide improved contour and cervicomental angle definition. The techniques of Lipocontouring is now accepted as a part of facial aesthetic surgery practices as because of its versatility of the procedure, either used alone or in combination with any malar and chin implants, rhytidectomy, genioplasty and other additional facial plastic procedures to achieve the excellent results with minimal hidden scars, morbidity, technical ease and recovery time has helped to popularize its use. More recently, the fats are injected into the treatable area to provide fullness to sculpt look.

Problem

Other adjunctive facial plastic procedures and traditional rhytidectomy addresses the tissue laxity which enhances the appearance of the bony framework and can prevent precise draping of the skin by the maldistribution of subcutaneous fat deposits. But in Lipocontouring only provides means to shape neck and face fat deposited to achieve the desired aesthetic facial profile.

Epidemiology

Nearly 10 million cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures were performed in 2009 where the minimal invasive techniques allowed for quicker recuperation. The procedures were said to be minimal due to small incisions made which has minimal morbidity and recuperation time providing consistent lasting improvements in the facial profile. The cervicofacial liposuction gained popularity because it can be performed alone or in combination with rhytidectomy and other adjunctive facial plastic procedures.
