LipoSound Liposuction (Revision Surgery)
A case study of a female patient in her 20s who achieved a defined jawline through LipoSound ultrasonic revision liposuction after an unsatisfactory previous surgery.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Unsatisfactory results despite undergoing liposuction 3 years ago
* Consultation
# By using ultrasound, subcutaneous fat can be broken down into fine particles. (Think of it as turning ‘orange pulp’ into ‘orange juice’.) This allows the fat to be squeezed out through tiny openings and removed using only a small cannula, making the extraction highly effective.

* Plan
# Ultrasonic Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline), Revision Surgery
* Post-operative Progress
# The blunt, heavy look has disappeared thanks to the jawline and double chin liposuction!
The Principle of LipoSound
# ‘LipoSound’ can be understood as equipment that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Because it liquefies fat particles—which are like orange pulp—into a juice-like state:
1. It is much smoother – fat can be squeezed out like water without applying significant force, and it can be suctioned using only a small cannula. Therefore, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Consequently, ‘Bio-bond’ (post-operative adhesions) is also significantly reduced. 2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, and additional skin elasticity and tightening effects can be achieved.
# About 2 weeks after surgery, Bio-bond may form and cause some discomfort. In such cases, applying warm compresses and stretching will help it resolve faster. Please note that we also provide injections to help dissolve Bio-bond during the one-month follow-up!
# Liposuction is a highly efficient procedure, but it is also a supplementary one! You must keep in mind that the effects are maximized only when accompanied by weight loss efforts (dietary control and exercise)!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery depending on the individual, and caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is LipoSound liposuction?
LipoSound liposuction is a procedure that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat into a liquid-like state before removing it. Fat particles, like orange segments, are liquefied into a juice-like consistency, allowing for smooth aspiration even with a small cannula.
What are the advantages of LipoSound liposuction?
LipoSound liposuction causes less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Additionally, because ultrasound is applied beneath the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, and additional benefits of skin elasticity and tightening can be achieved.
What is the recovery period after LipoSound liposuction?
About two weeks after the procedure, bio-bonds (post-surgical adhesions) may form, causing discomfort. Warm compresses and stretching can help at this time, and an injection to release adhesions may be administered at the one-month mark.
Is weight management important after liposuction?
Yes, it is very important. Liposuction is an auxiliary procedure, so its effects are maximized only when accompanied by weight loss efforts such as diet control and exercise.
Is LipoSound liposuction revision surgery possible?
Yes, it is possible. In the case study, a patient who was unsatisfied with the results of liposuction three years prior underwent LipoSound liposuction revision surgery and saw improvements in their double chin and jawline.
Which areas can be improved with LipoSound liposuction?
The case study shows results of double chin and jawline liposuction revision surgery, where a dull appearance was eliminated, and smooth lines were achieved.
