title: Improved results with closed facial suction.
abstract: Closed suction lipoplasty is a recent treatment mode within facial aesthetic surgery. Younger patients with certain specific identifiable fatty accumulations are the primary beneficiaries of the procedure. However, coexisting bony, muscular, and skin conditions may be a contraindication, and if they go unrecognized, may lead to aesthetic failure. If optimal results are to be achieved, the number of good to ideal candidates for the procedure is fewer than originally projected. When indications are strict, the very highest level of aesthetic refinement and excellence can be achieved.
