Buccal Fat Removal & Double Chin Liposuction

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Facial fat and jawline that remained despite consistent dieting

# 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 much you diet, it is often the last to go or doesn’t budge at all.

# This can be easily resolved by removing the buccal fat through a simple intraoral incision.

* Plan

# Buccal fat removal

# LipoSound + Double chin liposuction

* Post-operative Progress

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

# As shown in the illustration, buccal fat exists over a wide area. We only remove the excess fat in the cheek area (the lower portion of the fat pad). Since an intraoral incision is used, there is the advantage of having no visible scars.

# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It liquefies fat particles—which are normally like orange pulp—into a juice-like consistency. This allows 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 bio-bonding (post-operative adhesions)!

Always seek consultation and surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Stay healthy and beautiful today :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is deep cheek fat not easily reduced by diet?

Deep cheek fat is like "visceral fat" in the face, so even with consistent dieting, it tends to be the last to go or doesn't reduce easily. This is due to its different characteristics compared to general subcutaneous fat.

Does deep cheek fat removal leave scars?

No, deep cheek fat removal is performed using an incision inside the mouth, so surgery is possible without visible external scars. This method can alleviate concerns about scarring.

What is Liposound used for in double chin liposuction?

Liposound is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It liquefies fat particles, which are like orange segments, into a juice-like consistency, allowing the fat to be gently suctioned like water without applying significant force.

What are the advantages of using Liposound?

Using Liposound gently liquefies fat, resulting in much less irritation during surgery. This leads to faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and there is also the advantage of less adhesion (bio-bond) after surgery.

What changes can I expect after deep cheek fat removal and double chin liposuction?

After surgery, the dull feeling disappears, and the jawline becomes more defined, improving from a round U-shape to a sharp V-shape. You can also expect the face itself to appear smaller.
