If your face is thin but you're only concerned about a double chin? Liposound Double Chin Liposuction + Buccal Fat Removal Review by Dr. Yoo Young-moon at Vibe Plastic Surgery, Sinnonhyeon Station

Hello.

I am Dr. Yoo Young-moon from Vibe Plastic Surgery.

‘Even if I lose weight, my double chin stays the same.’

This is a surprisingly common complaint.

The client I'm introducing today also had an overall slender build and a small face,

but her double chin was particularly prominent, causing her stress since middle school.

Even after becoming an adult, she consistently dieted and exercised, but the fat under her chin did not easily decrease.

Her biggest concern was that her jawline seemed to disappear every time she took a photo, making her face appear larger than it actually was.

Double Chin That Doesn't Go Away Easily with Diet

A double chin isn't always caused by simply being overweight.

Due to genetic fat distribution and facial structure,

it's very common for individuals with a slender build to have concentrated fat development under the chin.

In such cases, even with weight loss, the submental fat remains, making the jawline appear blurry,

and in profile, the boundary between the jaw and neck may seem non-existent.

Liposound Double Chin Liposuction: Less Burden for Office Workers

Our client worked in an office and found it difficult to take a long recovery period.

After researching various methods, she chose Liposound liposuction, which has a relatively fast recovery and short downtime.

Liposound is a method that uses ultrasonic energy to gently break down fat cells before suctioning them out.

It allows for more uniform fat removal and helps minimize damage to surrounding tissues,

resulting in relatively less swelling and bruising,

faster recovery, and

can help create a smoother facial line.

Therefore, it is a highly satisfying procedure for busy office workers or those who desire a quick return to daily life.

Procedures Performed Together in This Case (V-line 3-piece set)

To create an even more defined V-line, this client underwent

✔ Liposound Double Chin Liposuction

✔ Double Chin Thread Lift

✔ Buccal Fat Removal

together.

What is Buccal Fat Removal?

Many people mistake cheek fat and buccal fat for the same thing, but they are actually located differently.

Buccal fat refers to the fat pad (Buccal Fat Pad) located in the deep layer inside the cheek.

Unlike general cheek fat, which is located directly under the skin,

this fat is located ‘deep within the muscle’ and often does not decrease easily with diet alone.

Individuals with developed buccal fat may have

a dull appearance around the mouth,

a heavy, sagging look in the lower face, and

may give the impression that their face is wider and larger than it actually is.

Especially if only double chin liposuction is performed, while the jawline may improve,

the heavy feeling in the lower face might remain, leaving the overall line somewhat unsatisfactory.

In such cases, appropriate removal of buccal fat can

reduce the volume of the lower face, creating a more slender and refined contour.

How is Buccal Fat Removal Performed?

Buccal fat removal is a surgical procedure where a small incision of about 1 cm is made in the oral mucosa, and only the necessary amount of buccal fat is selectively removed.

Since no skin incision is made, there are no scars on the face, and the incision site is inside the mouth, becoming almost unnoticeable over time.

Most importantly, it's not about removing a lot, but about removing the appropriate amount.

Excessive removal of buccal fat can lead to overly sunken cheeks or an aged appearance over time,

so it's crucial to consider facial shape, age, and skin elasticity sufficiently and remove only what is necessary.

Why Combine V-line 3-piece (Double Chin Liposuction + Buccal Fat Removal + Thread Lift)

1. Double chin liposuction is a procedure that removes fat under the chin to sharpen the jawline.

2. Buccal fat removal reduces unnecessary volume inside the face, making the face width slimmer.

That is,

the area under the chin becomes sharper,

the lower face becomes lighter, and

the overall V-line connects more naturally.

3. When a ‘thread lift’ is performed together, it provides additional firm support to the skin,

allowing for a more defined jawline and facial contour.

Even for the same double chin, the cause varies from person to person.

Choosing the right treatment method through accurate diagnosis is the beginning of a satisfactory result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a double chin occur even with a thin build?

Yes, it's possible. Besides cases where a double chin is simply due to being overweight, it's common for individuals with a thin build to have concentrated fat development under the chin due to genetic fat distribution or facial structure. In such cases, improvement through diet alone is difficult.

What is Liposound double chin liposuction?

Liposound is a method that uses ultrasonic energy to gently break down fat cells before suctioning them out. It has the advantage of uniformly removing fat and minimizing damage to surrounding tissues, resulting in less swelling and bruising and faster recovery, making it suitable for busy office workers.

Is buccal fat removal different from general cheek fat removal?

Yes, it is different. Buccal fat is a fat pad located in the deep layer inside the cheek. Unlike cheek fat directly under the skin, it is deep within the muscle and often does not decrease easily with diet alone. Developed buccal fat can make the lower face appear dull and wider.

What is the procedure for buccal fat removal?

Buccal fat removal is a surgical procedure where a small incision of about 1 cm is made in the oral mucosa, and only the necessary amount of buccal fat is selectively removed. Since no skin incision is made, there are no scars on the face, and the incision site is inside the mouth, making it unnoticeable.

What are the benefits of combining double chin liposuction and buccal fat removal?

Yes, you can achieve a synergistic effect. Double chin liposuction sharpens the jawline, and buccal fat removal reduces the volume of the lower face, allowing the overall V-line to connect more naturally and slenderly.

How long is the recovery period after Liposound treatment?

Liposound is a procedure with a relatively fast recovery and short downtime. Since ultrasonic energy gently breaks down fat and minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, there is relatively less swelling and bruising, making it highly satisfying for those who want a quick return to daily life.
