Buccal Fat Removal & Ultrasonic Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
A case study of a woman in her 20s who achieved a sharp V-line and smaller face through buccal fat removal and ultrasonic liposuction.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Facial fat and jawline that remained unchanged despite consistent dieting
* 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 go away at all. It can be easily resolved by removing the buccal fat through a simple intraoral incision.
# Using ultrasound allows us to break down fat into fine particles. (Think of it as turning orange pulp into orange juice.) This makes it possible to literally squeeze the fat out through a tiny hole, and because it can be removed using only a small cannula, the procedure is highly effective.

* Plan
# Buccal Fat Removal
# Ultrasonic Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The blunt, heavy look has disappeared thanks to buccal fat removal and double chin liposuction! How does the revived jawline look to you? Not only has the round U-shape been transformed into a sharp V-line, but the entire face also appears smaller, right?
# Buccal fat exists over a very wide area. We only remove the excess portion located in the cheek area (the lower part of the fat pad). A major advantage is that it leaves no visible scars since an intraoral incision is used.
# Curious about buccal fat removal?!
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It liquefies fat particles that resemble orange pulp into a juice-like state.
1. It is much smoother—fat can be squeezed out like water without applying great 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, you can also gain additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. (You may know that devices like Ultherapy, Shurink, and Doublo Gold all operate on ultrasonic principles.)
Always seek consultations and surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon!
