Tumescent Facial Liposuction
The natural balance between a persons facial features - including the neck, chin and jawline - add beauty and definition to an individual's appearance. Isolated deposits of facial and neck fat may be present in individuals who are otherwise fit and healthy. Localized areas of fat may also run in families and are commonly seen in the neck, chin and jawline areas.
Tumescent Facial Liposuction significantly reduces the appearance of excess facial fat, an overweight, or heavy appearance, a nonexistent chin. All are improved with Facial Liposuction.
How is Tumescent Facial Liposuction Performed?
Small incisions are made within the natural folds of the face and under the chin or jaw line. The treatment areas are then injected with a liquid solution, generally comprised of saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine, prior to the surgery. This combination employs anesthesia and constricts blood vessels, making the fat easier to remove.
How safe is the procedure?
Tumescent Facial Liposuction is a safe procedure performed on thousands of men and women each year with no major complications. As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks. During a personal consultation, Dr. Carr can detail these for you.
When will I be able to return to work?
Most patients will return to work from the Tumescent procedure within 2 - 3 days. The bruising, if any, can be camouflaged with cosmetics.

Tumescent Body Liposuction
If diet and exercise have failed to reduce areas of unwanted fat, then liposuction may provide the results you are looking for. The procedure is designed to improve body shape and remove unwanted fat from facial and body areas. Liposuction is not a substitute for dieting and exercising, and it is not a weight-loss procedure. But it is very effective in removing fat in areas that simply do not respond to traditional weight reduction methods.
During the first 5-10 days, the bruising will reach its most dominant stage and begin to fade. Any stitches will dissolve or be removed, and you may resume me light activities. You may have some bandages covering the incision marks and will most likely be dressed in a special compression garment, which you will be expected to wear for up to 2 to 4 weeks.
After 2 to 3 weeks, you may resume light exercise. Puffiness or swelling may still be present, and you might experience numbness or itching as the nerves and tissue regenerate. You will immediately notice a difference and see the effects of the liposuction, but 6 months may elapse before the swelling vanishes completely and your new look takes its final shape.
When can I go back to work?
Naturally, this depends on the variety of occupation and how physically demanding it is for the patient. Most patients wait 5 to 7 days before attempting to return to work.
What kinds of risks are involved?
Liposuction is a safe procedure performed on thousands of men and women each year with no major complications. As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks. During a personal consultation, Dr. Carr can detail these for you.
You don't have to accept your shape as the product of heredity alone. You can "redefine your design" and feel great about your body!
