If you get lipo in your face, say around chin or even people who get fat grafts removed, will those people then get fattier in other areas of face like nose and cheeks? Does the fat distribution pattern change after facial liposuction?
Answer: Fat distribution after Liposuction Generally speaking I think one has to do an awful lot of liposuction to change the way a patient is going to deposit fat - and I mean a LOT. Fat manipulation in the face is comparatively minuscule compared to the amount of change we create in the rest of the body, so the answer is NO, you don't have to worry about fat distribution changes at all with this type of procedure.I would go a step further and suggest that fat grafting or removal from the face will not change future fat distribution "in the face" at all.Good Luck!

Answer: Fat redistribution after Facial Liposcution No, the fat won't redistribute to other areas, because liposuction permanently removes it. I recommend a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to be evaluated, discuss your gaols, and a custom treatment plan decided upon. I hope this helps.

Answer: Concerns About Facial Lipo Thank you for your question. No, the fat distribution does not change. It is more of a fluid component. By that I mean that fat will even out and change after lipo. So, we remove it from one place and part of the adjacent fat pad will fill SOME of that area. It is good because it leaves nice contours. It is bad because it can negate some of the results. This is why I always tell my patients to try to be at their ideal weight before this procedure. Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC

Answer: Facial liposuction In our practice, we do not recommend fat removal from the face, since that will happen anyway with the aging process. By depositing the neck can certainly be removed with liposuction. The fat distribution pattern in the face does not change after liposuction

Answer: Changing fat distribution from facial liposuction Liposuction causes a permanent change in fat distribution. It does not cause fat or fat cells to emerge in other areas. In high-volume liposuction cases other areas can enlarge if patients gain weight. With the small amount of fat removed from facial liposuction The fat distribution will not change. Weight gain or weight loss will have a new proportion based on the liposuction performed. In other words if someone maintains the same weight the results of liposuction will be permanent if someone gains weight they will gain less volume in the areas treated with liposuction.
