1. How long does it take to recover from facial liposuction?
Basically recover within one month, and achieve the best face-lifting effect in 2-3 months.
The recovery time of facial liposuction is related to the amount of liposuction and the range of liposuction sites. The pain usually disappears in 5-7 days, and it takes 3-4 weeks for the skin to completely subside. Some areas may feel numb, and the feeling will generally recover within one month. Then continue to wear elastic headgear for 2-3 months to shape, which can achieve the best face-lifting effect.
2. How to recover quickly after facial liposuction?
(1) After operation, it was bound and shaped by pressure.
After liposuction, apply elastic bandage 1 week, and then continue to apply elastic headgear for shaping for 2-3 months to help the skin recover firmness and elasticity.
(2) The wound was not moist within 1 week after operation.
In order to make the recovery period of facial liposuction shorter, it is necessary to do a good job of postoperative nursing of facial liposuction, not to get wet, to prevent wound infection and to help rapid recovery.
(3) Use ice to reduce swelling after operation.
Three days after facial liposuction is the golden opportunity for ice to reduce swelling. You can wrap an ice pack with cotton cloth and apply it to the swollen part. Note that the ice pack should be sealed and not leak, so as not to affect the recovery of the wound.
(4) Don't rub your face before the swelling goes down.
Swelling and pain will appear after liposuction on the face. Many people like to rub it by hand, thinking that it can reduce swelling and relieve pain. In fact, this will aggravate the tissue damage and make the face swollen more severely. So, avoid rubbing your face before swelling.
3. How long can facial liposuction last?
Generally, it can be maintained permanently, and overeating may rebound.
The number of fat cells remains unchanged after adulthood. Facial liposuction directly sucks fat cells away, which can actually reduce the number of fat. Therefore, it is generally not easy to rebound and can be maintained permanently.
But facial liposuction will not increase the calorie consumption of facial muscles. If overeating or basal metabolism slows down, long-term intake of calories will be higher than consumption of calories. Although the number of fat cells will not increase, the volume will expand and rebound.
4. Sequela
1, hematoma, seroma
It is related to the deep suction level, rough action, improper dressing and pressure after facial liposuction. Hematoma can be removed by inserting a needle into the original incision and then recompressing the bandage. Cold compress and pressure can also be applied after facial liposuction to prevent hematoma and seroma.
2, the skin is uneven
Improper suction plane or uneven liposuction, too little liposuction at local points, will lead to uneven skin, which can be slightly improved by pressure dressing, and serious need for secondary repair after operation. This is related to the experience and skills of doctors.
3, skin ischemia and necrosis
When liposuction is performed on the face, too much fat is extracted from the local liposuction point, or the action is too intense, which will cause the destruction of the subcutaneous vascular network, lead to poor blood circulation of the skin, and then lead to the phenomenon of skin ischemia and necrosis, which may seriously disfigure the face.
4. Peripheral nerve injury
If the suction level is too deep and the action is too fierce, it will damage the zygomatic branch, buccal branch and mandibular marginal branch of the facial nerve, causing facial paralysis or severe local swelling and bleeding. Minor injuries are only temporary local numbness, which will gradually recover in 3-4 weeks, while serious injuries may lead to permanent injuries.
5, inflammatory infection
The facial liposuction wound is very small and shallow, and the postoperative healing time is very short. If the instruments are not clean during operation and the wound surface is not cleaned after operation, postoperative infection and effusion will easily occur, which will increase the recovery time after operation.
6, skin muscle adhesion
If the local fat is sucked too thin, it will cause local skin to adhere to the expression muscle, and when the expression muscle moves, local pits will appear. The treatment method is to untie the adhesive and inject fat particles into it.
7.rebounding
One way to gain weight is to increase the number of fat cells, and the other is to increase the volume of fat cells. The number of fat cells in adults is constant, and facial liposuction directly sucks away the number of fat cells. However, facial liposuction has not changed the basal metabolic calories of the face, which means that if you consume calories for a long time in the future, the volume of facial fat cells will still expand and become larger, which means there is still the possibility of rebound.
5, facial liposuction preoperative preparation
1. Do not take drugs containing aspirin within two weeks before operation, because aspirin will reduce platelet coagulation function.
2. Patients with hypertension and diabetes should inform the doctor of their condition at the time of initial diagnosis, so that the attending doctor can confirm the operation plan.
3. Make sure you are healthy before the operation, and there is no infectious disease or other body inflammation.
4. Don't put on makeup before the operation.
5. Women should avoid menstruation, pregnancy and pregnancy.
6. Men should quit smoking one week in advance.
