Buccal Fat Removal, Double Chin Liposuction, and Thread Lifting

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Despite consistent dieting for several months after rapid weight gain, facial fat and the jawline remained stubborn.

# Thin skin with low elasticity, prone to sagging.

* Consultation

# You can think of buccal fat as the ‘visceral fat’ of the face.

# No matter how hard you diet, it is often the last to go or doesn’t disappear at all.

# This can be easily resolved through a simple buccal fat removal procedure via a small incision inside the mouth.

# Many patients worry about sagging skin after reducing fat. In such cases, thread lifting can easily provide the desired tightening effect.

* Plan

# Buccal fat removal

# LipoSound + Double chin liposuction

# Thread lifting (Silhouette Soft)

* Post-operative Progress

# The bulky appearance has vanished thanks to buccal fat removal and double chin liposuction! How does the revived jawline look? Not only has the round U-shape been transformed into a sharp V-line, but the entire face also appears smaller.

# Even with the same type of thread, the results can vary completely depending on the design and the vector of insertion. Whether the goal is a simple lift or sculpting a defined jawline, the surgeon’s extensive experience and customized design for each individual are crucial.

# I primarily use ‘Silhouette Soft and Mint’ as lifting materials. The proper combination of these two threads ensures a firm lift while inducing collagen synthesis from within, resulting in firmer, more elastic skin after 2 to 3 months.

# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It liquefies fat particles—which are like orange pulp—into a juice-like state, allowing the fat to be suctioned out smoothly like water without requiring excessive force.

Consequently, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. It also significantly reduces the occurrence of bio-bonds (post-surgical adhesions)!

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Wishing you health and beauty today :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it so hard to lose buccal fat even with dieting?

Buccal fat is like "visceral fat" in the face, so even with consistent dieting, it tends to be the last to go or doesn't go away easily. It can be simply removed through an incision inside the mouth.

How can skin sagging after buccal fat removal be resolved?

If you are concerned about sagging skin after buccal fat removal, thread lifting can easily provide effective results. Thread lifting helps to lift sagging skin and improve the jawline.

Why is Liposound used for double chin liposuction?

Liposound is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It liquefies fat particles for gentle suction, resulting in less irritation during the procedure, faster recovery from bruising or swelling, and reduced bio-bond adhesion.

What types of threads are mainly used for thread lifting?

We mainly use Silhouette Soft and Mint threads. The appropriate combination of these two threads can achieve a definite lifting effect, and it can also induce collagen synthesis from within, leading to firmer skin.

How does the jawline change after the procedure?

After the procedure, the dull U-shaped jawline is improved to a sharp V-shape. A combination of buccal fat removal, double chin liposuction, and thread lifting can also make the face appear smaller.
