Is it possible to have a Liposuction on upper cheeks?

cheeks should not get liposuction on the cheeks this can cause permanent nerve injury. we do injections with steroids + 5fu if you have had fat grafting was not done well. fillers can camouflage the area often and MNRF treatments like morpheus and pixel8 can help tighten the area.

You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

Dear Awesome744390,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Liposuction in the face is not advisable. Direct excision of the transplanted fat can be done safely under anesthesia through an incision either in the inside of the mouth just below the cheek or through the inside of the lower eyelid.
When grafting fat under correcting rather than overcorrecting is preferred just for this reason.

Please do not have liposuction on your upper cheeks! it is not worth the risk to your nerves. You can try laying on your fat to see if you can press it down.

There are certain spots on the face where facial nerve damage as possible from Liposuction. Some plastic surgeons may be comfortable doing liposuction in these areas while others are not. If you do then you have to except some risk that there may be nerve injuries. Most of the time these will be temporary but they can be upsetting it when they happen.

Without pictures for an in person examination it’s hard to answer your question with anything more than that.

I recommend patient stay local for elective surgical procedures.

Follow up with your provider or seek second opinion by having in person consultations.

Best,
