Liposuction - surgical procedure to remove fat from the particular parts of the body, such as the thighs, abdomen, sides, and hips. However, liposuction can also be an effective way to remove excess fat from the face.

Cheek liposuction removes fat from the face. It can also make the face and jawline slimmer and more defined by shaping and contouring them.

Cheek liposuction is conducted in a similar way as on the other parts of the body. The surgery usually takes one hour, and after the surgery, you can go home. Local anesthesia is administered to the patient.

There are three techniques of liposuction: tumescent, ultrasound, and laser. However, we use only the traditional method, which is tumescent liposuction.

The plastic surgeon makes a small incision on the cheeks and applies saline solution on them. As a result, cheeks swell, making it easier for the doctor to remove the fat.

After the surgery, we recommend the patients wear lifting masks (compression garment) that cover the neck and jaw.

Taking all the prescribed medications will help alleviate potential soreness and swelling.

It takes 3~4 weeks to heal and recover. Following all the post-surgery instructions guarantee the desired result.
