The facial line everyone wants? A V-line!
While facial contouring surgery is a surgical option,
nowadays there are various methods that don't necessarily
involve bone shaving :)
So today, we will talk about
the various methods available
to change your face shape!
Causes of an uneven face shape?
When discussing a bumpy or uneven face shape,
the cause is sometimes attributed to the facial bones.
In most cases where people are dissatisfied with their face shape,
facial contouring surgery is often the first thing that comes to mind.
For protruding cheekbones, cheekbone reduction surgery,
and for a developed square jaw,
surgeries that refine the outer facial lines
can be considered.
However, surgical methods come with a recovery period
and the burden of bone shaving,
so let's talk about other alternatives
besides facial contouring surgery.
When facial fat is the cause
First, if there is a lot of fat on the face,
Vibe Plastic Surgery performs
ultrasound liposuction using LipoSound.
On the other hand, for cases where a lack of facial fat
causes facial contours to look hollow or bumpy,
we recommend fat grafting.
By filling the sunken areas with fat,
we can smooth out the facial contours.
When is facial liposuction ineffective?
First, when the facial contour is large and asymmetrical.
If the facial structure is exceptionally large, it is difficult to resolve
with liposuction alone. For large and
asymmetrical contours, facial contouring surgery
may need to be considered.
Second, when the soft tissues are unusually thick.
Some patients have less fat than expected, but their soft tissues,
especially the skin including the dermal layer, are unusually thick
or lack elasticity.
In these cases, satisfaction from liposuction alone
is relatively low, so we often recommend thread lifting or
a double chin muscle tie (platysmaplasty) as well.
Third, when the masseter muscle, salivary glands, or parotid glands are large.
In such cases, performing Botox injections
alongside liposuction
can enhance the results and overall satisfaction.
Fourth, when the chin is small and short.
For those with a small or short chin,
ultrasound liposuction alone may have limitations
in terms of effectiveness.
Therefore, we recommend combining it with
chin fillers or implants.
Other ways to change my face shape?
While fat grafting was mentioned above,
if you have a very thin body type and harvesting fat
is difficult, we can recommend dermal fillers.
Protruding cheekbones can sometimes be caused by sunken temples,
which can be resolved with fillers or fat grafting
to balance the face.
If skin sagging is not severe,
receiving ultrasound lifting (e.g., Shurink)
can also yield highly effective results.
If your chin tip is blunt, fillers can be used
to create a more three-dimensional look.
The most important thing here is to proceed with a procedure
that is suitable for each individual based on the specific area and symptoms!
What are the possible side effects after facial liposuction?
First, a hard and pulling sensation.
This can occur due to bio-bonds.
When performing ultrasound liposuction, a micro-cannula is used
to suction the fat, which can stimulate
blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, causing this sensation.
However, the bio-bond phenomenon is a natural occurrence
as the tissues recover,
and it usually lasts for 1 to 2 months, or up to 3 to 4 months
in longer cases.
To help it heal faster, it is good to consistently manage it
with methods such as warm compresses
and stretching :)
Second, sensory abnormalities, itchiness, and lip asymmetry.
No matter how fine the cannula used for the procedure is,
the most distal parts of the sensory and motor nerves
may be temporarily damaged and undergo regeneration.
Because of this, you may feel itchiness or numbness,
and asymmetrical movements
may occur.
These will return to normal as the nerves regenerate,
so there is no need to worry!

various methods to smoothly change your face shape!
