Liposuction is a word known to almost everyone, meaning getting rid of fat deposits in various parts of the body. There are a number of treatment methods: vacuum, ultrasound and others, but the most progressive is laser liposuction or lipolysis.
In general, unlike the potentially dangerous complications of liposuction on the entire body, the main complications of liposuction on the face and neck are minor and temporary.
Patients should be advised of the natural post-operative changes associated with liposuction. Bruises and contusions after closed liposuction are varied and disappear within 7-21 days.
The techniques used on the face and neck, although very similar in technique to those used on the body, must be different due to the peculiarities of the anatomy and physiology of these areas.
Although this chapter focuses on the aesthetic use of liposuction on the head and neck, this procedure can also be used to resolve many other surgical problems.
