Ultrasound (LipoSound) Liposuction
A case study of a female patient in her 20s who achieved a defined jawline through ultrasound-assisted liposuction (LipoSound) for stubborn double chin fat.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Persistent double chin fat despite consistent dieting
* Consultation
# Using ultrasound allows us to break down subcutaneous fat into fine particles. (Think of it as turning ‘orange pulp’ into ‘orange juice’.) Once liquefied, the fat can be expressed through tiny openings or removed using a very small cannula, making the extraction highly effective.
# If you are curious about how liposuction is performed at VIBE Plastic Surgery, shall we watch the video below first? ^^
* Plan
# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The heavy, blunt appearance has vanished thanks to the jawline and double chin liposuction!
The Principles of LipoSound
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Because it liquefies fat particles—turning them from something like orange pulp into juice—it offers several advantages:
1. Much smoother process – Fat can be expressed like water without applying significant force, and it can be suctioned using only a small cannula. This results in less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Consequently, there is also much less ‘bio-bond’ (post-surgical adhesions).
2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, and you can gain additional skin elasticity and tightening effects.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery depending on the individual, and caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Liposound liposuction?
Liposound is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It is a liposuction procedure that helps to liquefy fat particles, like orange granules, into a juice-like consistency, allowing for gentle suction even with a small cannula.
What are the advantages of Liposound liposuction?
Liposound liposuction offers several advantages. By liquefying fat, it allows for gentle suction with a small cannula, resulting in less irritation, faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and reduced bio-bond (post-surgical adhesion).
Will there be skin sagging after Liposound treatment?
No, on the contrary, you can additionally achieve skin elasticity and tightening effects. Because ultrasound is applied under the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure and it helps improve elasticity.
Which areas can Liposound liposuction be applied to?
It can be effectively applied to double chin and jawline liposuction. In particular, it helps remove stubborn double chin fat that is difficult to lose with diet, improving a dull appearance.
How long is the recovery period after Liposound treatment?
Although a clear period is not mentioned in the post, Liposound is described as having faster recovery from bruising and swelling than general liposuction because it liquefies fat, resulting in less irritation.
