Mansher Singh, MD, FACS Facial Slimming Surgery Reviews

About facial slimming surgery

Facial Slimming Surgery in New York City is performed by Mansher Singh, MD, FACS at 1035 Park Avenue, Suite E, New York, NY 10028. Facial slimming surgery is a category term for procedures that narrow the width of the lower and middle face.

Mansher Singh, MD, FACS assesses facial width by layer. Width can originate from the buccal fat pad in the midcheek, from hypertrophy of the masseter muscle at the mandibular angle, from subcutaneous fat, or from the bony width of the mandible itself. Intraoral fat reduction is usually performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation. Muscle or skeletal procedures require general anesthesia. Operative time runs thirty minutes to two hours depending on the structures addressed.

Swelling after intraoral procedures is most noticeable in the first week and largely settles within two to four weeks, with final contour apparent over several months. General risks include facial nerve or parotid duct injury, over-resection leading to hollowing, asymmetry, bleeding, infection, limited mouth opening, and numbness.

Facial Slimming Surgery at a glance

How facial slimming surgery is performed

• For buccal fat reduction, an incision is made inside the cheek opposite the upper molars. The buccinator fascia is opened, the fat pad is delivered with gentle pressure, and a conservative portion is removed. The mucosa is closed with absorbable sutures.
• When masseter reduction is planned surgically rather than with botulinum toxin, the approach is intraoral and involves partial resection of the muscle, a less commonly performed procedure with higher morbidity. Subcutaneous fat contributing to lower facial fullness may be treated with fine cannula liposuction.
• Intraoral fat reduction is generally performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation and takes thirty to sixty minutes. Combined or skeletal procedures require general anesthesia and considerably longer operative time.

Who is a candidate

• Lower or midfacial fullness attributable to an identifiable structure rather than to overall body weight
• A face that will not appear hollowed by volume reduction, since facial fat decreases naturally with age
• Stable weight
