Consultation with the doctor

This treatment is always preceded by a consultation with our surgeon. During the no-obligation consultation, you will have every opportunity to ask your questions in a personal conversation and express your wishes and expectations about the treatment. Our surgeon Dr Thanya Tha-In will assess whether face slimming is a suitable treatment for you and whether this treatment will give you the best results. You will be given full information about the treatment and explained the entire process, from precaution to aftercare. You will be told what final result you can expect from the treatment. Photographs are taken beforehand, which are placed next to the after photos after the operation. You can thus see the natural result of the treatment beautifully.

To understand where you are coming from and why you would want this treatment, we like to take the time to get to know you well. The most important thing about the whole treatment is that we understand what your wishes are. Do you want a natural result appropriate to your age? What are your main advantages and disadvantages? How is the symmetry of your face? By getting to know you, we understand what you want. In the end, it's all about you. You can take your time to make your choice. It's your face! We rebalance your inner beauty and your outer beauty.

Treatment

Face slimming is an outpatient procedure, which does not require admission. You can go home after the procedure and after a short rest period. You are just not allowed to drive yourself yet. Therefore, bring someone with you to our clinic and have them pick you up by car after the treatment. During the face slimming treatment, buccal fat is removed and liposuction of the neck is applied to remove the double chin. The skin is not lifted. Thus, there is no face or neck lift.

The procedure takes 1-2 hours. Removing buccal fat gives you a more defined V-shape and liposuction targets your double chin. Your jawline will tighten and your face will become more contoured. Initial results are visible after 1 to 2 weeks, but will continue to form over the following months. The results last for a long time, but skin ageing will continue. Face slimming can be combined with other treatments, including later in life.

Aftercare

Aftercare

We are happy to guide you throughout the treatment and healing process. We work with a specially developed pre- and aftercare protocol, so that you are optimally prepared for treatment and recovery. Your face may be slightly swollen for a few days after the weight loss. For mild after-pain, swallowing paracetamol will suffice. For the first week, take plenty of rest and sleep in the supine position on an extra pillow. This helps against swelling and promotes the healing process. Avoid pressing, squeezing, bending or lifting for the first few weeks. Do not engage in heavy physical activity for the first few weeks.

You will achieve the best results and fastest healing with a healthy lifestyle. At least stop smoking until the stitches are out, do not drink hot drinks to avoid congestion in the face and do not chew solid food intensively. Otherwise, this will put pressure on the sutures in the face. Keep moving normally after the procedure to keep the blood circulation going and the wound healing quickly. After one to two weeks, you will be well toned again and can resume your daily social activities. For the first three months, do not expose your skin to bright sunlight and avoid using the tanning bed or sauna. We recommend some connective tissue massages from 3 months after treatment. This makes the skin, underlying tissues and scars supple and soft and promotes recovery.

Risks

Face slimming is a common surgical procedure at SkinSurgery Clinics, with a very low risk of complications. In some cases, an allergic reaction, bleeding or infection may occur. However, this is rare as our highly qualified and experienced specialists work according to state-of-the-art treatment techniques and use the best instruments.

Occasionally, specific complications such as nerve damage and asymmetry may occur, which are usually not permanent. If in doubt, contact your attending physician at SkinSurgery immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a question that is not answered? Feel free to contact us Monday to Sunday, between 08:00 and 22:00, at the following number or email.

What types of lift are there?

Face slimming: this unique treatment consists of a combination treatment of liposuction of the neck and buccal fat removal. Face slimming is suitable for people with a full face who want more definition in their face. This procedure is recommended when the skin quality is firm. By performing extensive liposuction of the neck, combined with buccal fat removal, the right accents are added to the face so that your face looks slimmer and more youthful. The S-Lift: only the skin of the cheek is lifted, which is why the procedure is also called a 'mini lift' or 'mini facelift'. This technique is suitable up to a certain age and if the sagging is limited to the top layer of the skin. If there is also sagging of the underlying tissue layers, the MACS-Lift or a facelift will be a better choice. The MACS lift: not only is the skin of the cheek lifted, as with the S-Lift or mini-lift, but the underlying supporting tissue is also lifted (the SMAS layer). This technique is suitable when the face is sagging on multiple layers. This is often from the age of 45 to 50. The jawline and neck are not included in a MACS lift. Facelift: A facelift involves making an incision in front of the ear and behind the ear. The skin and the underlying connective tissue layer (the SMAS layer) are lifted. A facelift is a more extensive lift than a MACS lift. A facelift involves lifting the jawline. This lift can be performed using various techniques, such as a plication of the SMAS layer or a deep plane facelift. Your surgeon will personally advise you on which type is most suitable for you. Face and neck lift: a face/neck lift involves making an incision in front of the ear, behind the ear and under the chin. The cheeks, jawline and neck are lifted. The underlying layers, namely the SMAS layer and the neck muscles (the platysma muscles), are also lifted using a special technique. In this way, the cheeks, jawline and neck are lifted in a natural and sustainable way so that you can enjoy the result for longer. Neck lift with platysmaplasty: With a neck lift with platysmaplasty, the focus is entirely on the neck. An incision is made behind the ears and under the chin. After extensive liposuction of the neck, the neck muscles are lifted by suturing them together (platysmaplasty). This gives you a youthful, beautiful jawline without scars in front of the ears. The face is not lifted. Signature Lift: A Signature lift is a unique facial lift performed by Dr. Tha-in. It consists of a combination treatment of buccal fat removal, liposuction of the neck and then lifting the face and neck. This lift not only tightens your face but also adds accents at the right points that make you naturally more beautiful in a defined way. Dr. Tha-in will be happy to discuss this with you personally.

What is face slimming?

Face slimming is a procedure that adds definition to your face by removing volume from specific areas that are bothersome. This includes volume that causes chubby cheeks, jowls, a baby face, or a double chin. It is, by definition, a surgical procedure. This means you undergo surgery and the results are long-lasting, unlike treatments with fillers or Botox, whose effects fade over time. During the procedure, the skin is not tightened or lifted. Therefore, it's important to find a specialist who can properly assess whether this treatment is right for you. At SkinSurgery, you are welcome to see if this procedure will achieve your desired results.

I also want to fix sagging skin, is it possible with this procedure?

One treatment that combines all procedures is the Dr Tha-In Signature Lift. This treatment is a combination that brings together all of Dr Tha-In's expertise, addressing multiple problem areas for optimal, long-term results. Dr Tha-In Signature Lift includes a full deep plane facelift, liposuction with neck lifting and buccal fat removal. The Signature lift comes with the full aftercare package with medication, support bands and connective tissue massages 3 months after the procedure.

Who is a suitable candidate for face slimming?

Face slimming is suitable for people who have a lot of volume around the lower part of the face, jawline and neck (double chin). Often, this fat cannot be 'exercised' or 'dieted away' and only a combined, surgical procedure gives truly long-lasting results. It is important to assess whether there is sufficient skin elasticity to restore the face to its natural contours. If there is (severe) skin sagging, the doctor will recommend another procedure.

What are benefits of face slimming?

It's a treatment that addresses multiple problem areas: from chubby cheeks to a double chin. The results are more dramatic and last much longer than other face slimming treatments like Botox. Because you combine treatments, you have a single procedure and a single recovery time. It also offers a financial advantage compared to separate treatments.

What are disadvantages of face slimming?

Not everyone is a suitable candidate. If there is (severe) sagging skin, a different, additional procedure will be necessary. As with all cosmetic procedures, the final results depend much more on the surgeon's skill than on the actual technique used. You will have small scars, but our surgeon will conceal them as best as possible.

What are the risks and complications?

With any surgical treatment, there is a risk of a complication. Therefore, it is important that you are aware of the procedure and its possible complications. There is a risk of allergic reaction, bleeding or infection. The chance of this is very small. Our instruments are single-use and of the best quality. We work with very fine needles and fine diathermy, so as to minimise trauma to the tissue. Specific complications of a facelift are nerve damage, asymmetry, hair loss, formation of hypertrophic scars and numbness of part of the face. The latter is usually not permanent.

Aftercare after face slimming

 Get enough rest in the week after your treatment. Make sure someone can help you. Sleep on your back on 2 pillows. This reduces the chance of bleeding and swelling. It promotes healing. In the first two weeks after the treatment, you may not press, strain, lift or bend. We advise you not to smoke until the stitches are removed. Smoking increases the chance of complications. Avoid chewing solid food intensively. This puts pressure on the stitches in the face. Do not drink hot drinks, such as tea or coffee, to prevent congestion in the face. Swelling and bruising will get worse in the first three days and then slowly decrease again. It is wise to keep moving normally. This is good for the blood circulation and wound healing. Do not do heavy or strenuous work or sports activities during the first six weeks. Plan your social contacts. Stay home for a week. The treated area will look blue, swollen and bruised for the first week. The scars may also be red and swollen immediately after the treatment. This can be quite a shock. One to two weeks after a facelift, you will usually be presentable again and can resume your social activities. We advise you not to expose the scars to UV sunlight and/or the sunbed for 3 months after the operation. Avoid emotional excitement. After a few weeks, everything will be fine again.
