Have You Heard of ACCUSCULPT as an Alternative for Cheeks Liposuction?

Accusculpt is an variation of liposuction surgery and basic principles are totally the same.

to reduce volume of upper/anterior cheek. Surgical removal of buccal fat poads are usually more effective.

Accusculpt technology uses a laser to reduce fat and in principle is similar to liposuction. The treatment reduces fat in the neck which may be useful for reducing fat and neck in younger patients. The technology does not benefit facial ageing that has resulted in effects of gravity or skin laxity, i.e. patients with jowls or loose skin are not treated. Accusculpt is marketed as a form of a facelift, however it is not a true facelift. A true facelift involves lifting the layers beneath the skin, where gravity has resulted in jowls or deep lines in the face, and removing the remaining loose skin. Every few years there is a new non-surgical technology that promises results that avoid the need for surgery, although these techniques have a role for some patients there are limitations and cannot be used for all patients.The risk of an Accusulpt facelift is a fast technique that results in a small improvement that lasts for a short period of months. A surgical technique that is so fast to be completed relatively quickly, can only be superficial beneath the skin.Facelift techniques vary from mini facelifts, to complete face and neck lifting techniques, and take from 3 to 6 hours. True facelift techniques require general anaesthesia or sedation anaesthesia, the results take several hours to complete, and last for a period of years.

This may be called a form of a Face Lift but that's more marketing hype than truth IMHO.  This is a Nd-Yag laser that's used in the tissues to deliver energy and melt fat instead of other forms of liposuction.  Face Lifts, IMO, must meet the 3 conditions (listed below) to be effective and this meets only 1...shaping the fatty layers.  This is a form of liposuction alone IMO.

Face Lifts should:


Have some type of incision in front of the ear allowing removal of excess skin.

Lift, tighten and remove excess SMAS layer by proper dissection technique, not lift with threads and or sutures.

Shape the cheeks and mid face by removing excess fat, and/or creation of the proper aesthetic shape using fillers or cheek implants. 


  Understanding and following the proper aesthetics of facial beauty, IMHO, is essential for the creation of a naturally, more attractive face regardless of the technique being used.  Techniques do not make beautiful faces....using the proper aesthetics of beauty is the key.
