Melting Fat with Liposound and Restoring the Jawline with Thread Lifting!! Facial Liposuction at VIBE Plastic Surgery (Gangnam/Sinnonhyeon)

Hello.

I am Dr. Young-moon Yoo, Director of VIBE Plastic Surgery.

👉 Those whose double chin looks particularly thick

👉 Those whose face looks large due to a blurry jawline

There are surprisingly many people with these concerns.

The case I am introducing today is a female patient in her 20s whose biggest concerns were ‘double chin fat + collapsed jawline.’

🔎 Pre-surgery Concerns

✔ A thick double chin that folds when looking down

✔ Unclear boundary between the jawline and neckline

✔ An impression that the face looks larger than it actually is

✔ Stress over her side profile when taking photos

Rather than a simple weight issue, this was a case where 👉 submental fat accumulation + decreased skin elasticity + tissue sagging worked in combination.

In such cases, performing simple liposuction alone can actually leave excess skin, making unevenness or sagging even more prominent.

That is why I always say:

‘Double chin results are only complete when fat removal and lifting are performed together.’

✅ What is Liposound Liposuction?

The core of this surgery is fat melting followed by suction using Liposound.

Liposound is

👉 A method that first gently ‘melts’ fat with ultrasonic energy before removing it. Therefore, it is distinctly different from conventional mechanical liposuction.

🔹 Advantages of Liposound

✔ Selective fat breakdown → Minimizes damage to surrounding tissues

✔ Reduced bruising and swelling → Fast recovery

✔ Delicate and uniform suction possible

✔ Reduced unevenness

✔ Highly suitable for thin and sensitive areas like the jawline

Precision is the most important factor, especially in submental and facial liposuction.

Even a slight excess or deficiency can lead to indentations, asymmetry, or lumpiness.

You can think of Liposound as 👉 the safest and most precise liposuction method for thin facial areas.

✅ However, liposuction alone is not enough.

Many people make a mistake here.

‘If I just remove the fat, won’t my jawline come back?’

The answer is ❌ No.

When fat is removed, skin and soft tissue remain; if elasticity is lacking, sagging occurs.

Therefore, the 👉 ‘process of pulling the line’ is absolutely necessary.

✅ Combined Thread Lifting

In this case, Mint thread lifting was performed alongside liposuction.

Mint threads are characterized by:

✔ Strong anchoring power

✔ Natural traction

✔ FDA-approved PDO threads

✔ Tissue adhesion + collagen production

Thanks to these features:

👉 Sagging submental tissue is pulled upward and fixed

👉 The jawline (V-line) is clearly restored

👉 Elasticity increases over time

This is not just pulling; it is a lifting concept that ‘designs’ the jawline.

✅ Post-Surgery Changes

✔ Double chin fat removed

✔ Clear jaw-neck boundary

✔ Slim V-line formed

✔ Effect of the face looking smaller

✔ Improved side profile silhouette

The patient also remarked, ‘It doesn’t just feel like I lost weight; it feels like my face shape has changed.’

In fact, even without weight change, a ‘small face’ effect and a youthful effect appear.

✅ Recommended for those who:

✔ Have a double chin that folds

✔ Have a blurry jawline

✔ Feel their face looks large in photos

✔ Are worried about sagging after liposuction

✔ Want natural improvement through thread lifting

✔ Are in their 20s–30s wanting a slim line without obvious surgical marks

✅ VIBE Plastic Surgery’s Key Points

I perform surgery from the perspective of redesigning the facial contour, not just ‘removing fat.’

✔ Liposound precision liposuction

✔ Uniform removal without over-suction

✔ Mint thread anchoring point design

✔ Completion of a natural and smooth jawline

✔ Fast recovery & return to daily life

The key is not ‘removing a lot,’ but ‘making it beautiful.’

Closing

Double chin improvement with liposuction alone yields a 50% result,

👉 But combining it with lifting yields a 100% result.

The combination of Liposound + thread lifting is one of the methods I am most satisfied with these days.

Just by tidying up the jawline, your impression, face size, and youthful image can completely change.

If you are concerned about your double chin and jawline, I hope you receive an accurate consultation for the method that suits you.

Thank you.

This was Dr. Young-moon Yoo of VIBE Plastic Surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Liposound liposuction and general liposuction?

Liposound liposuction is a method that first gently melts fat with ultrasonic energy and then removes it. This method selectively breaks down fat, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues, reducing bruising and swelling for faster recovery, and allowing for delicate and uniform suction.

Is it necessary to combine thread lifting after double chin liposuction?

Yes, liposuction alone may not be enough. After fat removal, if the skin and soft tissues remain and lack elasticity, sagging can occur. Combining thread lifting can pull and fix the loosened tissues, restoring a clear jawline and preventing sagging.

What are the advantages of Mint thread lifting?

Mint thread lifting uses FDA-approved PDO threads with strong fixation and natural traction. It pulls and fixes the sagging submental tissue upwards to create a clear jawline, and over time, it induces tissue adhesion and collagen production, helping to increase elasticity.

What effects can be expected when combining Liposound and thread lifting?

You can expect double chin fat removal, a clearer jaw-neck boundary, the formation of a slender V-line, a smaller-looking face, and an improved side profile silhouette. You can achieve a smaller face and a more youthful appearance without changes in body weight.

Who is recommended for combined Liposound and thread lifting procedures?

It is recommended for those with a folded double chin or an unclear jawline, those whose face looks large in photos, those concerned about sagging after liposuction, and those in their 20s and 30s who want a slim line without obvious signs of surgery.
