The surgeon that I saw recommended Blepharoplasty, Liposuction to the inside corners and a Brow lift to correct excess eyelid skin.Clarifying the Liposuction part, his surgery explanation says Lipectomy in addition to Blepharoplasty. Is that the same as Liposuction?
Answer: Lipectomy vs liposuction A lipectomy is technically only a fat removal. Liposuction involves using a cannula to remove fat from the area of fatty deposits. Liposuction is not used around the eyelids. There is a very small amount of precise removal of fat in the lower lids and upper lids to effect a cosmetic and aesthetic change. Lipectomy is typically performed with instruments and is simply a removal of fat.

Answer: Eyelid surgery is usually fat removal or lipectomy In a standard blepharoplasty fat may be removed from the upper or lower lids. This is excision or lipectomy. Suctioning fat is not performed as it is unsafe and difficult to judge the amount of removal.

Answer: Lipectomy and Liposuction are different Liposuction involves a cannula with negative pressure that is passed repeatedly through a little incision (like you've seen on tv shows). They will not be doing that to the inner corner of your eye. Lipectomy is removal of fat. There is probably some extra puffyness on the inner corner of your eye and he will remove it just after your plastic surgeon removes the extra skin. It's good that you're asking about this prior to surgery. They'll no doubt be relevant when you're evaluating your result.Best wishes,DoctorMeade.

Answer: Lipectomy and Liposuction Lipectomy means removal of fat. When combined with skin excision, it becomes a dermolipectomy. Depending on the region of the body, this can be a tummy tuck, thigh lift, brachioplasty, etc. Liposuction is also called suction assisted lipectomy, meaning removal of fat with a suction cannula.

Answer: Lipectomy and Liposuction are not the same Lipectomy and Liposuction are not the same. Lipectomy just means removal of fat. Liposuction is sometimes called suction lipectomy meaning, removal of fat via suction. When you are having a belpharoplasty, it is very unlikely and dangerous if the plan is to remove fat via suction around the eyes. Please make sure you clarify this prior to your surgery.
