A minimally invasive way to sculpt and refine the contours of your face and neckline — many of the benefits of a facelift, with minimal scarring and much less downtime.
You've no doubt heard that liposuction is a successful procedure for eliminating stubborn bulges that refuse to budge even after rigorous workouts. But this minimally invasive treatment is also a remarkable tool for sculpting and refining the contours of your face and neckline.
Facial Liposuction removes fatty deposits from the areas around your cheeks, chin or neck, reshaping your face to refine your profile and give your features a more defined appearance. An increasing number of Robinson Facial Plastic Surgery patients are opting for this safe procedure — natural-looking results with many of the same benefits as a traditional facelift, but with minimal scarring and much less downtime.
Dr. Robinson and staff welcome patients from Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Santa Ana and neighboring areas.
Fullness in the cheeks
A double chin or submental fullness
Hanging or sagging jowls
Excess fullness along the neck
An undefined jawline and profile
Facelift-like contour with minimal scarring and downtime
If sagging facial skin, hanging jowls or a double chin have you feeling unattractive and looking older than your years, Facial Liposuction can deliver dramatic yet subtle results. It rejuvenates your appearance, gives you a boost, and may even have your friends wondering if you lost a few extra pounds — without the scarring and extended recovery of more invasive surgery.
Facial Liposuction is minor surgery that Dr. Robinson performs in-office, typically taking 45 minutes to an hour from start to finish.
Dr. Robinson uses local anesthesia to numb the area and light sedation to increase your comfort. The procedure typically takes 45 minutes to an hour.
He makes a small incision — either beneath your chin near your lower jaw, or inside your mouth where your lower lip meets your gums — to keep any scarring hidden.
A thin tube called a micro-cannula is inserted into the opening and gently guided to the targeted area of excess fat.
As Dr. Robinson manipulates this precision instrument, it delivers pulsating water to loosen excess fat from the surrounding tissue, simultaneously extracting it along with the fluid.
Sterile bandages absorb drainage from the incision, and a compression garment is fitted to protect the wound. Occasionally sutures are used; if so, they're removed at a follow-up a few days later.
You may experience some mild discomfort, swelling or bruising during the healing process, all of which are easily controlled with mild medication. Any post-surgical symptoms should subside within a week or ten days, at which point you'll be cleared to resume normal activities.
Wear the compression garment continuously to protect the wound. Mild swelling or bruising is normal and managed with medication.
Follow-up appointment for suture removal if stitches were used. Discomfort steadily eases.
Post-surgical symptoms subside within a week to ten days, at which point you're cleared to resume normal activities.
Increasingly defined contours appear as swelling decreases — the final, fully refined results are revealed.
You'll see increasingly noticeable facial contours as the swelling decreases, though it may take three or four months before the final results of Dr. Robinson's artistic handiwork are fully revealed. The dramatic yet subtle outcome of Facial Liposuction will rejuvenate your appearance and give you a confidence boost.
