ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of fat suction combined with bipolar radiofrequency on face and neck rejuvenation.Methods:A total of 115 patients with face and neck fat deposits and skin laxity underwent fat suction combined with bipolar radiofrequency between December 2021 and October 2022 by the same surgeon in Changsha My Like Medical Cosmetology Hospital. There were 3 men and 112 women in this research. The mean age was 36.1 years (range, 26-55 years) and the mean body mass index was 21.4 (range, 16.8-27.7 kg/cm 2). Postoperative patient satisfaction surveys were conducted and 2 independent doctors evaluated clinical effect with preoperative and postoperative photographs at 3-6 months postoperatively. Results:The mean amount of fat aspirated was 44.5 ml (range, 10-92 ml) and the mean energy delivered was 4.5 kJ (range, 2.1-8.9 ml). 88.7% of patients were satisfied with their postoperative effect (102/115 patients). 92.2% of doctors were satisfied with the postoperative effect (106/115 patients). Four out of 115 patients (3.5%) developed irregularity by fat suction.Conclusions:Fat suction combined with bipolar radiofrequency can effectively reduce the fat accumulation of facial and neck and significantly improve skin relaxation. It is an effective method to rejuvenate facial and neck.
