Incisions are concealed along natural crease lines or just along the line of the eyelashes to remove fat and excess skin. The result in more rested and trimmer facial features. Sutures are usually removed a few days after surgery and swelling and bruising usually subside within a week to ten days. Many patients begin to apply make-up as a concealer after about one week. Some people experience dryness of the eyes after blepharoplasty, but this tends to subside as swelling resolves.
Liposuction is the removal of fat cells through a tiny incision.
The fat cells are removed without the removal of skin. There are a variety of refinements in the techniques of liposuction which allow resculpturing of the body and face in a safe and effective way. Liposuction is the most common cosmetic surgery procedure being performed in the United States. It is a wonderful procedure that allows reduction in clothing size and aids in contour improvements, but it must be done by a qualified surgeon in an accredited surgical facility. The most common areas for liposuction surgery include the abdomen and waist, hips and thighs.
