Abstract
Correction of the lower third of the face and submental area in various types of aging with laser-assisted liposuction
Highlights
The fat accumulation in sub-mental area is a problem at the forefront of many minds, since excess adipose tissue leads to the drooping of lower face and causes further ptosis
Fat cells were treated with Nd:YAG laser radiation with a wavelength of 1064 nm
Based on the examination results, it was decided that the submental area will become the liposuction area constituting the surgical field
Summary
The fat accumulation in sub-mental area is a problem at the forefront of many minds, since excess adipose tissue leads to the drooping of lower face and causes further ptosis. These changes affect a full esthetic perception of the face, since a clear oval shape of the face is associated with young age and the smoothing of lines and corners with old age [1]. All of them are tempered by significant stress of an invasive procedure, a long rehabilitation period, providing anesthetic procedures and a high risk of complications [2]. The realities of modern life and modern lifestyle determine that when choosing an operative measure most patients want a light invasion, a short rehabilitation period and no general anesthesia [3].
