Transformative Facial Liposuction at Defy Facial Spa in Flowood, MS

At Defy Facial Spa, located in Flowood, Mississippi, we specialize in facial liposuction, a highly effective procedure aimed at permanently removing fatty tissue from the cheeks, chin, and neck. Led by Dr. Michael Nichols, our approach to facial liposuction is tailored to help you achieve a more defined and contoured facial profile. This procedure is ideal for patients who are looking to refine their facial features.

Facial liposuction is best suited for patients with good skin tone who have localized fatty deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is not a solution for obesity but rather a way to enhance and refine facial contours by targeting specific areas with stubborn fat.

Key Considerations for Candidacy

• Skin Elasticity: Patients with good skin elasticity tend to achieve the best results, as the skin more readily adapts to the reduced volume after fat removal.
• Lifestyle Factors: Results can be influenced by various factors, including diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol intake.‍
• Overall Health: Being in good physical condition enhances both the effectiveness and safety of the procedure.

Facial liposuction at Defy Facial Spa is performed under general anesthesia in our state-of-the-art outpatient surgical suite. Dr. Nichols ensures that every step of the procedure is carried out with precision and care to maximize results and minimize recovery time.

Procedure Details

• Incisions: Small, discreet incisions are made in the face and/or neck.
• Cannula and Suction: A cannula is inserted through these incisions and attached to a suction machine to remove the fatty tissue.‍
• Duration: The procedure may take an hour or more, depending on the number of areas being treated.

Recovery from facial liposuction is designed to be as smooth and straightforward as possible, with clear improvements visible almost immediately after the procedure.

Recovery Expectations

• Initial Recovery: Expect swelling and bruising for the first two weeks. A special compression garment is provided to support healing, minimize swelling, and assist in skin retraction.
• Activity Resumption: You should be up and walking the day after surgery, with a gradual increase in activity until full activity is resumed in 2-4 weeks.‍
• Work and Sun Exposure: Return to office work typically occurs in 3-5 days, with more active employment resuming in 10-14 days. Avoid sun exposure until all bruising has subsided, and use sunscreen daily.
