Face lift alternative in facial liposuction

Posted by: Laser Clinic MD In: Plastic Surgery ()


Patients don’t have to wait for the economy to get better in order to look their best…

In a tough economy where many are turning to cosmetic surgery to help “lift” their job prospects, more patients are turning to scaled-down versions of face lifts to get some of the results of the traditional procedure without the traditionally larger price tag.  Facial liposuction is quickly growing in popularity with patients who want noticeable results but cannot commit to taking much time away from work for recovery.

“I think what we’re seeing now is a second wave of patients who have decided they aren’t going to wait on the economy to improve their appearance,” explains Dr. Andrew Salzberg. “We’ve seen a number of patients who decided to switch over to short-term, noninvasive treatments like injectables, but I think a lot of these patients now are taking a second look at their options and going for longer-term results that still fit their budget.”

To many of these women and men, facial liposuction seems like an ideal solution. “For the right patient, this procedure is a great alternative to the traditional face lift because it creates a few key adjustments without requiring patients to take a lot of time off of work to recover,” says Dr. Salzberg.

A face lift adjusts sagging muscle tissues, skin, and fat, but facial liposuction focuses instead on eliminating excess fat in areas like the lower face to ease signs of aging like wrinkles, jowls, and neck “wattles.” While facial liposuction is not as extensive as a face lift, it can often improve the lower face dramatically by tightening up the jaw line and minimizing some of the more noticeable wrinkles around the mouth.

“With a traditional face lift you get multiple levels of correction, and for many patients those changes will be more appropriate,” explains Dr. Salzberg. “For the right patient, though, the results of facial liposuction can be very impressive.”
