Buccal Fat Removal & Ultrasound Liposuction (Jawline & Double Chin)

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Facial fat and jawline that wouldn’t budge 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 disappear 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 the fat liquid enough to be squeezed out through tiny openings, allowing for highly effective removal using only a small cannula.​

* Plan

# Buccal Fat Removal

# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)

* Post-operative Progress

# The heavy, blunt look has disappeared through buccal fat removal and double chin liposuction! How does the revived jawline look? It has transformed from a round U-shape to a very sharp V-line, and the face itself looks much smaller, doesn’t it?

# Buccal fat exists over a very wide area. We only remove the excess fat from the cheek area (the lower portion of the fat pad). A major advantage is that it can be done without visible scarring since we use an intraoral incision.

# Curious about buccal fat removal?!

# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Because it liquefies fat particles—like turning orange pulp into juice—

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-bonds (post-surgical adhesions) are also significantly reduced.

2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, you can also achieve additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. (As you may know, devices like Ulthera, Shurink, and Doublo Gold all operate on ultrasound principles.)

Always consult a board-certified plastic surgeon for consultations and surgery!

Stay healthy and beautiful today :)
