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 considers 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 method that lowers the chance of fat reaccumulation. Fat cells that have been removed do not come back, so the effect tends to last relatively long, but if you gain weight, the remaining fat cells can enlarge.
On the other hand, fat-dissolving injections use medication to dissolve fat and encourage it to be expelled from the body. This is closer to a 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.
Removing fat through facial liposuction can help sharpen the facial line and refine a double chin or chubby cheeks. However, as fat is reduced, the skin may become slightly loose. When thread lifting is combined at this point, support for elasticity can also be expected, so a more defined contour can be the goal.
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 plan not just fat removal but an ‘elastic facial line’ as well.
Will Facial Liposuction Leave Scars?
Many people ask, “Won’t it leave scars on my face?” To start with the conclusion, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery designs the incisions for facial liposuction to reduce the scar burden. During the procedure, only tiny incisions of about 2–3 mm are made in areas that are not easily noticed 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 tend to heal 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 with less concern about scars or uneven surface changes.
After usually about 1 to 2 weeks of care following the procedure, the area can often be 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.
With these points in mind, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery analyzes fat layers and suctions primarily the areas that are needed. Fat is removed with the three-dimensional balance of the face in mind, aiming to reduce the burden of skin sagging.
After the procedure, radiofrequency and laser care programs can also be combined to help restore elasticity. This helps reduce the risk of a drooping look, and a firm, elastic contour can be expected.

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.
