to preface I have always been underweight but my face naturally holds a bit more fat. I leaned out as much as possible before using lipovela, as I wanted to decrease a bit more amount of fat. Doing so, I learned a lot about facial anatomy and hope to pass on my knowledge for anyone else that was stuck in the same boat as me
I did a ton of research before performing the first session on myself. This guide will have everything you need to know in order to do it correctly with minimal possibilities of screwing up.
Pre procedure info
Tools needed:
-Lipovela v. make sure ur buying the one specified for the face
-topical lidocaine cream 4 or 5%
-sterile pen (regular pen works too)
-alcohol wipes
-sterile gloves
-syringe needles --> 31g 6mm (lower body weight), 8mm (ideally for ppl with higher % of fat. you can still use this if you are at a relatively low percentage but understand you will be at more of a risk going past the subcutaneous layer.
Injecting:
-make sure when you are injecting with your syringe you are strictly at a 45 degree angle. anything below that or higher than 55 degrees is considered dangerous.
-the goal is to inject into the subcutaneous (subq) layer, where all your face fat is located. if you inject superficially (either at the dermis or epidermis), there is a chance you will experience necrosis, tissue death, scarring, lumping, asymmetry, and even deformities. this should not be an issue if you study diagrams and watch videos.
-make sure when you choose a point to inject the lipovela into, you grab the skin and pinch it with your thumb and index finger (directed sideways, not up or down), then insert the needle.
if you are unsure of the type of needle that is best fit for you, go into Google Gemini and insert your gender, height, weight, age, BMI, and bf% (if you know it). Gemini can give you a rough estimate of the thickness of each layer.
ex: my epidermis & dermis: 1-1.5mm total, subq approx 3-5mm. add the layers up (1.5+5=6.5)
-reminder that you are not injecting at an intramuscular angle, so the needle will not go as far in as you expect it to at subq angle
Research
-make sure you are doing countless amounts of research before performing this yourself. you need to know the five branches of facial nerves, an idea of where blood vessels, veins and arteries are, and areas to avoid. compare many diagrams to get an understanding of where every part of anatomy is located
-its pretty obv why u dont want to hit a nerve but if you don't already know, it controls your facial expression, works with your sensory motors + parasympathetic nerves. if you hit a nerve, you will endure facial paralysis, loss of muscle function, and recovery takes quite a while (since the axons and electrical signals are disrupted). however they are located underneath the subq layer so as long as you stay in that region, you should be fine. For this reason, do not use a needle over 8mm.
Performing the procedure
-First, wash your face. dry it, then apply the lidocaine cream. let it sit for 40-50 minutes. while waiting, sterilize your surface area and the needles using the alcohol wipes. then, begin to inject the lipovela into each individual needle. I recommend 0.2ml per needle, but most people start their first session with either 0.12 or 0.15ml per injection.
-after the cream has sat, begin drawing your grid. most people do 4x4 each cheek, but I actually recommend 4x3 (varies on each person's face width).
-make sure you avoid the ramus and mandibular area. you should really only be injecting on the actual cheeks
smth like this, but move WAY farther away from the ramus and lower the points from cheekbones to ensure safety
-after pinching your first point as discussed earlier, inject the needle at the 45 degree angle. SLOWLY inject the lipovela into the face, ideally 5-10 seconds, then slowly pull out.
-make sure to aspirate and check for blood when injecting the needle at your points; if blood starts pooling inside the syringe, slowly pull out and either move a bit away from that point not a big deal. that just means you hit a vein or blood vessel but nothing major.
-expect slight bleeding, as you are literally puncturing your skin.
-make sure you are not rushing or exhausted. stay focused.
POST PROCEDURE
-after the product begins to set in, you will feel some soreness, stiffness, and numbness. your face will be red, and the swelling/bloat will begin to kick in. it will not hurt, just mild discomfort
-the day after: some tenderness, bit of stiffness, not as bad as the day before. swelling will be at its peak days 1-4.
-you should start to see results a little over a week after the procedure
-make sure to drink double your usual water intake, rest, and do not exercise for the first week. light walking is advised, but nothing more than that
-use arnica gel; will provide aid in reducing swelling and bruising (bruises after procedure are normal)
tips:
-the anxiety is the worst part of the entire thing. try not to psych yourself out; if you know what you are doing, it will be fairly easy. play some YouTube videos or music as background noise and lock in. at first I was terrified and was close to backing out, but I decided to go through with the procedure and came to realize it was not merely as bad as I thought it would be.
-DO NOT FORGET to eat or drink before and after
-get at least 7 hours of sleep every day a week before performing this. last thing you want to do is screw up because you were sleep deprived
-wait 4-6 weeks to perform another session
-arnica gel is incredibly helpful for reducing the amount of swelling but do not apply it directly after procedure; wait 4-8 hours
-DO NOT take any NSAIDS (Advil, Motrin, aspirin, etc) post procedure for 2 weeks. if you need a pain reliever, take tylenol
I hope this helps! pls boost it took me a long time to type everything out. good luck to everyone
