Face Liposuction: Reshaping Your Facial Contours with Covai Cosmetic Surgery
Facial contours play a vital role in our overall appearance and self-confidence. Excess fat in areas like the cheeks, chin, and neck can create a rounded or disproportionate look. Face liposuction, a specialized cosmetic procedure, offers a solution to refine these contours, creating a more sculpted and youthful appearance. At Covai Cosmetic Surgery in Coimbatore, under the expert guidance of Dr. Sivakumar, we provide personalized face liposuction treatments tailored to your individual needs.
Overview
Face liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the face and neck. This procedure can redefine the jawline, reduce the appearance of a double chin, and create a more balanced and harmonious facial profile.
Objectives
The primary objectives of face liposuction include:
- Removing excess fat from targeted areas, such as the cheeks, jowls, and under the chin.
- Defining the jawline and creating a more sculpted appearance.
- Reducing the appearance of a double chin.
- Improving overall facial symmetry and balance.
- Boosting self-confidence and enhancing quality of life.
Introduction
As we age, or due to genetic predisposition, fat can accumulate in the face and neck, leading to a less defined and youthful appearance. Face liposuction offers a minimally invasive solution to address these concerns, providing long-lasting results. With advancements in techniques and technology, face liposuction has become a safe and effective option for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation. We at Covai Cosmetic Surgery, Coimbatore led by Dr. Sivakumar are dedicated to providing top-notch service.
Equipment
The equipment used in face liposuction typically includes:
- Small cannulas (thin tubes) for precise fat removal.
- Liposuction machine with adjustable suction pressure.
- Local anesthesia for numbing the treatment area.
- Sterile surgical instruments.
- High-intensity lighting for optimal visibility.
Contraindications
While face liposuction is generally safe, certain conditions may make you ineligible for the procedure. These contraindications include:
- Active infections in the treatment area.
- Severe bleeding disorders.

- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Unrealistic expectations about the outcome.

Technique or Treatment
The face liposuction procedure typically involves the following steps:
- 1. Consultation: We begin with a thorough consultation to assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine the best treatment approach.
- 2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the treatment area, ensuring your comfort during the procedure.
- 3. Incision: Small, discreet incisions are made in strategic locations, such as behind the ears or under the chin.
- 4. Fat Removal: A thin cannula is inserted through the incisions to gently suction out excess fat deposits.
- 5. Sculpting: The surgeon carefully sculpts the remaining fat to create a smooth and natural-looking contour.
- 6. Closure: The incisions are closed with sutures, and a compression garment is applied to minimize swelling and support the healing process.
Anesthesia
Face liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation. This ensures your comfort and minimizes the risks associated with general anesthesia. In some cases, general anesthesia may be recommended, depending on the extent of the procedure and your individual preferences.
