Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Facial Liposuction Real Q&A │A Must-Read If You’re Curious About Facial Liposuction
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery.
Interest is growing in ‘facial liposuction,’ a procedure that improves both skin elasticity and facial contours. However, many people still wonder how facial liposuction differs from injections or thread lifting, and whether it leaves scars or has side effects. Today, we’ll answer frequently asked questions about facial liposuction and also share Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s professional procedural know-how.
The Difference Between Facial Liposuction and Facial Fat-Dissolving Injections
The area people most often confuse is the difference between ‘facial liposuction’ and ‘facial fat-dissolving injections.’ Facial liposuction is a procedure that physically suctions out and removes fat cells directly. By reducing the number of fat cells themselves, it is a fundamental method that lowers the chance of fat reaccumulation. Because fat that has been removed does not grow back, the effect is clear and semi-permanent.
On the other hand, fat-dissolving injections use medication to dissolve fat and encourage it to be expelled from the body. This is a temporary method that reduces ‘volume,’ not the ‘number of cells.’ Therefore, continuous care is needed after the injections, and the drawback is that the procedure must be repeated.
In summary, fat-dissolving injections are more suitable for those with ‘slight cheek fullness,’ while facial liposuction is more suitable for those who want to ‘clearly refine the overall face shape.’
The Difference Between Facial Liposuction and Thread Lifting
We are also often asked, ‘Aren’t facial liposuction and thread lifting the same thing?’ The two procedures have different purposes. Facial liposuction removes fat, while thread lifting is a lifting procedure that raises sagging skin.
When fat is removed through facial liposuction, the facial line becomes sharper and a double chin or chubby cheeks can be refined. However, as fat is reduced, the skin may become slightly loose. When thread lifting is combined at this point, elasticity can be improved as well, creating a more defined contour.
In other words, facial liposuction can be understood as ‘volume control,’ while thread lifting is ‘shape correction.’ At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, we analyze each patient’s facial structure and skin condition and may design both procedures together. As a result, we can create not just fat removal, but an ‘elastic facial line.’
Will Facial Liposuction Leave Scars?
Many people ask, “Won’t it leave scars on my face?” To start with the conclusion, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s facial liposuction is almost unnoticeable. During the procedure, only tiny incisions of about 2–3 mm are made in areas not visible from the outside, such as within crease lines under the ear or under the chin. Fat is then suctioned using a micro-cannula (a thin tube), so the incision sites are very small and recover naturally within a few days.
In addition, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery removes fat evenly while considering each patient’s skin thickness and elasticity, so you can expect smooth contours without scars or uneven surface changes.
With only about 1–2 weeks of care after the procedure, the area can be sufficiently covered with makeup, and return to daily life is relatively quick.
Could Sagging Skin Occur as a Side Effect?
Many people also worry, ‘Will my skin sag after facial liposuction?’ In general, sagging after facial liposuction occurs when too much fat is removed or when the procedure is performed without considering skin elasticity.
However, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s facial liposuction precisely suctions only the necessary areas through layer-by-layer analysis of the fat compartments. In other words, fat is removed while maintaining the three-dimensional balance of the face, so the skin does not sag.
After the procedure, radiofrequency and laser care programs can also be combined to help restore elasticity. This helps the face avoid a drooping look and allows the contour to become firm and elastic.
Why Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s Facial Liposuction Is Chosen
Among many clinics, there are several reasons why Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s facial liposuction continues to be chosen.
First, the procedure is performed directly by medical professionals with extensive clinical experience and careers. The medical team at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery comprehensively analyzes the anatomical structure of the face, muscle movement, expression lines, and even skin thickness to complete a natural, three-dimensional contour.
Second, we have a safe anesthesia system. Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery carefully checks each patient’s constitution and condition before the procedure, then applies an anesthesia system with verified safety so that patients can receive treatment comfortably and stably.
Third, we provide a 1:1 consultation and customized design system. After carefully analyzing the patient’s facial proportions, fat distribution, and skin elasticity, we create a customized design for that one unique face. This makes it possible to design contours that harmonize with the face shape.
Fourth, accessibility just 1 minute from Exit 1 of Sinsa Station is also a major advantage. Busy office workers and clients who need a quick return to daily life can visit without burden, making ongoing aftercare convenient as well.
Fifth, we offer long-lasting results and an aftercare system. Through a step-by-step care system including swelling care, scar care, and skin elasticity recovery programs after the procedure, we speed recovery and help maintain the quality of the results for a long time.
The reason Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s facial liposuction continues to be chosen is that it provides safety, expertise, and results all together.
Facial liposuction is a precise aesthetic medical procedure that redesigns the contours of the entire face.
For those whose facial line has lost definition, or whose impression appears heavy due to chubby cheeks or a double chin, it can deliver a clear change with just one procedure.
Most importantly, it should be performed safely at a place with skilled medical professionals. If you want a natural yet elastic facial contour, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s facial liposuction may be the answer.
