Facial Shape Transformation with Liposuction!
A 20-year-old female patient achieves a sharp jawline through ultrasound-assisted liposuction (LipoSound), effectively removing stubborn double chin fat.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Stubborn double chin fat that persists despite consistent dieting
* Consultation
# By using ultrasound, we can break down subcutaneous fat into fine particles. (Think of it as turning ‘orange pulp’ into ‘orange juice’.) This allows the fat to be squeezed out through tiny openings and removed very effectively using only a small cannula.

* Plan
# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The heavy, blunt appearance has disappeared thanks to jawline and double chin liposuction!
The Principle of LipoSound
# You can think of ‘LipoSound’ as a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Because it liquefies fat particles—which are like 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 through a very 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, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, and you can achieve additional skin elasticity and tightening effects.
# Bio-bond may form starting about two weeks after surgery, which can feel uncomfortable. In such cases, warm compresses and stretching will help it resolve faster. Please note that we also provide ‘dissolving injections’ during the one-month follow-up if needed!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is LipoSound liposuction?
LipoSound liposuction is a method that uses ultrasound to liquefy fat particles before suctioning them out. By softening the fat, effective removal is possible even with a small cannula, and it has the advantage of faster recovery with less bruising and swelling due to minimal irritation during surgery.
What are the advantages of LipoSound liposuction?
LipoSound liposuction liquefies fat for gentle removal, resulting in less irritation during surgery, reduced bruising and swelling, and faster recovery. Additionally, applying ultrasound beneath the dermis helps minimize skin sagging after surgery and provides additional skin elasticity and tightening effects.
How long is the recovery period after facial liposuction?
Bruising and swelling after surgery are less than with general liposuction, leading to a faster recovery. Typically, biobond may form around 2 weeks, causing discomfort, but managing it with warm compresses and stretching, along with injection treatments at the one-month mark, can help resolve it.
Which areas can be improved with facial liposuction?
Facial liposuction is primarily effective in improving a double chin and a dull jawline, areas that are difficult to reduce with diet alone. This can make the overall face shape smoother and sharper.
How should I manage biobond after surgery?
Yes, consistent warm compresses and stretching are helpful for resolving biobond, which can appear around 2 weeks after surgery. Additionally, at the one-month follow-up, the clinic can provide injections to help resolve it, which you may find beneficial.
