State of the Art of Facial Liposculpture Technique
The idea of the technique arose to solve the problems of changes in
the fat pads of the face that occur over the years and with age (Volume
Theory). Knowing that the face has fat compartments and these change in
size with age and weight gain. The objective is to functionally
restructure the surface of these fatty pads, without disrupting them.
Anatomically, we work on the surface of the cushions, between the dermis
and the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) remodeling it in
volume or even redesigning the cushions if anatomically necessary to
give a more youthful appearance to the face, or a lighter appearance, or
even changing ethnic characteristics.
It is also possible to treat bumpy and malformed faces that have
functional alterations of the fat pads. Thus, the main objective is to
correct the functionality of the stomatognathic apparatus that has
changed over time and that may interfere with its functioning, and as a
corollary of this a significant aesthetic achievement.
Faces very rounded or without contours in the middle third of the face
and that we often chose to do the bichectomy as a technique that
provides the aesthetic redesign of the face, today we do facial
liposculpture and maintain the local integrity of the bichat ball that
is as valuable as damper and lubricator between facial muscles. And even
as it is a huge source of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells, keeping
the bichat ball intact is an option for future cell therapy. Therefore,
the technique was based with considerable rigor on anatomical and
functional study.
