Face BBL™ In Chicago

The journey of Face BBL™ begins with Dr. Caughlin focusing on the optimal area for fat extraction. Often, the neck area and buccal fat pads are preferred for their dual benefit: removing fat from these regions provides the necessary material for transfer. It enhances the contour of the cheekbones and jawline. Dr. Caughlin may also choose to extract fat from other body areas, such as the “love handles,” thighs, or the abdomen, depending on your specific body structure and the goals of the procedure.

For the transfer process, Dr. Caughlin utilizes the state-of-the-art Dermapose system. This syringe-based fat transfer system is designed for efficiency and precision in small-volume fat transfers. Typically, Dr. Caughlin harvests between 60 ml to 80 ml of fat – about the volume of half a can of soda. This carefully selected fat is then artfully transferred to the desired facial areas, meticulously sculpting and enhancing volume to create defined peaks and achieve a balanced, youthful look.

At Impressions Face + Body, we understand the importance of a comfortable and reassuring recovery process. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through every step of this journey, ensuring your path to rejuvenation is as smooth and rewarding as possible. Here's what you can expect during the recovery phase:

The recovery process is generally well tolerated by most patients, with only mild discomfort experienced after the treatment. In the first 7 to 10 days, your face may appear puffy. However, this doesn't mean putting your life on hold; minor activities like going out shopping are still very much on the cards.

During this initial recovery period, the puffiness is typically not so pronounced to strangers, but those who know you – like coworkers, family, and friends – might notice the difference. This is a temporary phase as your face adapts to its new contours.

As the swelling subsides, you'll notice your face's new, more defined look. The beauty of Face BBL™ lies in these subtle yet impactful changes that bring out a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

The complete results of your Face BBL™ procedure will take 3 to 6 months to fully materialize. This time frame is necessary for the transferred fat to integrate with the new tissues and develop properly. Patience is key as your face gradually acclimatizes to its new shape.

The ideal candidates for this innovative procedure typically meet the following criteria:

• Are 18 years of age or older
• Are in overall good health
• Avoid excessive smoking and drinking
• Have a soft, rounded facial structure
• Experience a lack of facial definition
• Hold realistic expectations

The Face BBL™ procedure at Impressions Face + Body, pioneered by Dr. Caughlin and his team, has consistently left patients in awe with its transformative results. Here's why this innovative treatment is capturing the attention of those seeking a more defined facial structure:

• Permanent Contouring: One of the most significant advantages of Face BBL™ is the permanence of its results. Unlike the temporary effects achieved with makeup like highlighters and concealers, Face BBL™ offers a lasting solution to enhance your facial contours.
• Natural-Looking Enhancement: The treatment goes beyond superficial alterations, providing natural-looking enhancements that align seamlessly with your facial structure. The subtlety and authenticity of the results mean that the enhancements appear as though they've always been a part of your natural facial features.
• Time and Cost-Effective: With the permanent results of Face BBL™, the need for daily makeup application to contour and define the face is eliminated. This not only saves time each day but also reduces the ongoing cost of purchasing various makeup products.
• Boost in Confidence: The psychological benefits are just as impactful. Patients often report a significant boost in confidence and self-esteem, as the enhanced facial contours reflect their desired self-image.
