VIBE Liposuction
A case study of a woman in her 20s who achieved a slim jawline through ultrasonic liposuction (LipoSound) at VIBE Plastic Surgery.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Stubborn double chin fat that persists despite consistent dieting
* Consultation
# By using ultrasound, we can break down subcutaneous fat into fine particles. (Think of it as turning orange pulp into orange juice.) This allows the fat to be extracted almost like squeezing it out through a small opening, making it highly effective to remove even with a small cannula.

* Plan
# Ultrasonic Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The heavy, blunt appearance has vanished thanks to the jawline and double chin liposuction!
The Principle of LipoSound
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Since it liquefies fat particles—like turning orange pulp into juice—it offers several benefits:
1. It is much smoother – fat can be extracted like water without applying excessive force, and it can be suctioned through a very small cannula. This results in less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and significantly less ‘bio-bond’ (post-operative adhesions).
2. Because the ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, providing additional skin elasticity and tightening effects.
# About two weeks after surgery, you may experience discomfort due to the formation of bio-bonds. In such cases, warm compresses and stretching can help them resolve faster. Please note that we also provide injections to help dissolve these bonds during the one-month follow-up!
‘Even though I am on the slimmer side, I was always stressed about my double chin and facial fat. After having surgery at VIBE Plastic Surgery, I am extremely satisfied as my overall face and neck line have become much sleeker. The consultant, front desk staff, anesthesiologist, and Dr. Yoo Young-moon were all so kind. Dr. Yoo told interesting stories during the procedure, so I wasn’t scared at all even though I wasn’t under general anesthesia. Many reviews mentioned the anesthetic injection is painful, but I felt it was similar to a regular acne injection. I developed some bio-bonds, but they almost completely disappeared after getting the injection a month later. I’ve had no issues like sensory abnormalities. The results are satisfying and the value for money is great.’
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
VIBE that comes from rich experience.

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur depending on the individual, and caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is VIBE liposuction?
VIBE liposuction is a procedure that uses the ultrasound device LipoSound to liquefy fat, which is then gently suctioned out with a small cannula. It effectively removes fat, transforming it from orange-like granules into a juice-like consistency.
What are the advantages of LipoSound liposuction?
LipoSound liquefies fat for gentle suction, resulting in less bruising and swelling, and faster recovery. Additionally, the ultrasound works beneath the dermis, leading to less skin sagging after surgery and providing skin elasticity and tightening effects.
Which areas can it be primarily applied to?
VIBE liposuction can be effectively applied, especially for removing double chin and jawline fat. It helps improve fat in areas that are difficult to reduce with diet alone.
Can bio-bond occur after surgery?
Yes, bio-bond (post-surgical adhesion) can occur about two weeks after surgery, causing discomfort. In such cases, warm compresses and stretching can help, and an injection to release it may be administered around the one-month mark.
How much pain is there during the surgery?
The pain from the anesthetic injection varies by individual, but reviews suggest it's comparable to a pimple inflammation injection. Some experiences mention not being scared even without sleep anesthesia, thanks to communication with the doctor.
Is there no skin sagging after liposuction?
No, LipoSound emits ultrasound waves beneath the dermis, so there is minimal skin sagging after the procedure. On the contrary, you can additionally achieve skin elasticity and tightening effects.
