Microsuction in NYC
Microsuction is a technique that was perfected in New York City by internationally acclaimed and board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gerald Imber. It is a minimally invasive procedure designed for targetting small, stubborn fat deposits, such as jowls and a double chin. With his extensive expertise, Dr. Imber can skillfully determine if microsuction or another aesthetic procedure is the best option for enhancing your facial contours during your initial consultation.
The success of microsuction heavily relies on the skin’s ability to retract and tighten after fat removal. In cases where excessive skin laxity is also a concern, a facelift may be a recommended alternative.
How Microsuction is Performed to Improve Jawline Definition
Dr. Imber uses microsuction to enhance the jawline by selectively removing fat deposits that obscure the natural contours of the jaw. Common treatment areas targeted include the submental region (under the chin) and jowls.
During the procedure, he makes small, discreet incisions behind the earlobes or under the chin. He then inserts a specialized tiny cannula to take out the excess fat tissue. The irritation created during this process also causes some tightening of the skin for a smoother look and feel.
Tips for Maintaining a Defined Jawline After Microsuction
While microsuction can create a beautifully defined jawline, maintaining the results requires ongoing care. Here are some tips to help you keep your jawline looking its best:
Eat the Right Foods
Maintaining a stable weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise is essential to prevent the reaccumulation of fat and stretched skin in the chin and jawline. Try eating foods rich in:
- Omega-3 fatty acids
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
Stay Hydrated
Proper hydration is key to maintaining skin elasticity and overall facial tone. Aim to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin plump and healthy.
Wear Sunscreen
Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays helps prevent premature aging and sagging. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and consider wearing a hat and long clothing when spending extended periods outdoors.
Quit Smoking
One of the most effective ways to prevent premature skin aging and maintain your microsuction results is to stop smoking. Smoking damages the skin’s elasticity and accelerates aging, which can undermine the definition achieved through the procedure. Quitting smoking will help preserve your youthful contours and promote overall skin health.
